Why Glamping Resorts Are Turning to Modular Pod Accommodation

Written By Lucy Brown

The UK’s glamping industry is booming — but operators face challenges. Expanding accommodation takes time, planning delays can be costly, and seasonal downtime eats into revenue.

That’s why more glamping resorts are turning to modular pod accommodation — a flexible, fast, and profitable way to grow.

Here’s how Bauhu’s commercial pods are helping glampsites across the UK scale up — without compromise.

Fast Installation = Fast ROI

  • Our pods are built off-site and can be delivered fully fitted

  • Typical install time: Can be just days depending on the chosen building

  • Sites can go from planning approval to guest-ready in under 6 weeks

That means faster revenue generation, even during peak season.
