To feel like I'm being fleeced - glamping

[SaffronYellow]

£1,000 plus, to stay in a TENT for 1 week in Devon?
Some are £1,200 for 1 week.
Just seen one for £1,500 for 1 week.
This is to stay in a bell tent in a field.
To me, these are insane prices!!
AIBU to think over £1,000 to stay in a tent for a week is absurd?
I can't afford to stay in a holiday cottage.
Air BnB prices are out of my price range.
So I thought camping might be an affordable alternative.
I just want to go away for a week in this country in the school summer hols with my 2 DC, I want to give them a week away. Devon is my favourite place, used to go there as a child.
I'm not well enough to take my own tent and put it all up by myself, I've got ME and fibromyalgia and long Covid, so I really need a tent that's already erected and one that has a few more comforts to it than sleeping on an air mattress on the floor.
I thought a tent in a field would be a financially viable way to go away with my DC, who really deserve a week away, but the prices are eye watering and completely unaffordable.
I'm not asking to go abroad anywhere....just a week in my own country! But I'm priced out of this! I can't believe it, feel so sad for DC.😥

Personally I wouldn’t pay that for a week in a tent. As a PP said earlier, glamping sites are aimed as people wanting the experience (& probably photos for Insta). I’m not knocking them, each to their own and all that, but I wouldn’t choose it for a week long holiday with the kids.
We’ve booked some really lovely holiday cottages for around the £1000 mark (2 adults, 2 kids) during the school holidays, so it is definitely achievable. If you are finding prices sky-high though, as others have said try a caravan (or lodge- which is basically a caravan but sounds posher). The ones on holiday parks have good facilities for kids (swimming pool, etc).

Can I also offer up there is a 2 child eat free breakfast deal , so for £10 You can stuff yourself and just have a light tea....
