A glamping website that follows the day into the night
People booking glamping aren’t just after a bed. They want a night outdoors with the comforts of indoors, and before paying they want to know what’s in the tent, whether the bathroom is their own, how cold it gets and what they’ll see from the bed. A gallery of photos with no words answers none of that.
Here the whole page is one day at your site, told in six of your own photos from morning to night. Each one gains depth, and as you scroll the camera moves a little way into it; then it dissolves into the next, far things first, while the light keeps pace with the time you give each moment. Your words go over each photo, at its hour.
The last card shows your price per night and a button to your booking system or listing. The site tells the experience; booking and paying still happen where they happen now.
What your site shows
Arriving at first light
Your first photo is the site from outside in the morning light: the tents or domes among the trees, the meadow before anyone’s up. Over it sit your site’s name, your headline and one clear line: how many units, where you are, which months you’re open.
The path to the tent
Moment one pairs with a photo of the path to the tent. Describe it as it is: where the car stays, how long the walk is, whether there’s a trolley for bags, whether a torch helps at night.
Inside
The photo from inside: the bed made up, the stove, the door open onto the view. These are your domes or bell tents, nobody else’s; your text adds what a photo can’t say — the bathroom, the heating, what has a socket and what doesn’t.
Afternoon outside
Third photo: what people do outdoors once the heat drops, whether that’s the wood-fired hot tub, the hammock or the river. In the text, the supper hamper, a swim, the walk that leaves from the site.
As the sun goes down
The fourth moment is the tent’s deck with the sun low. Tell the end of the day: the fire pit, what you can hear, when the quiet hours begin.
Booking the night
The final card sits over your last photo, a tent lit from inside at dusk, and shows your price per night, a typical stay and guests per unit. The button opens your booking system or listing; anything you don’t fill in doesn’t appear.
Have this ready
- Six photos, all needed: the site from outside in morning light, the path, the inside of a tent, the afternoon outdoors, the deck at sunset and a tent lit up at night.
- Your site’s name and a tagline: it tops the headline and completes the page title.
- One line with the basics: the kind of accommodation, how many units, where, and your season.
- What each tent or dome has, and what it doesn’t: bathroom, heating, power, wifi.
- Four moments between morning and night: an hour, a heading and two or three lines for each.
- Your price per night, a typical stay and how many sleep in each unit.
- Your booking link: your own system, Hipcamp, Airbnb, or a Stripe payment link for a deposit.
- Legal name, tax number and address for the legal page, plus the profiles you want linked in the footer.
Worth knowing
Say what isn’t there
At a glamping site, what’s missing matters as much as what’s provided. If the bathroom is shared, there’s no signal or the solar power won’t run a hairdryer, write it into the tent’s moment. Nobody wants to find out on arrival.
Make your season obvious
If you open April to October, or close midweek in winter, put it in the sentence beneath the booking title. That way nobody wastes time hunting for dates you don’t have.
A lit tent before the stars
A starry sky is usually hard to catch on a phone without a tripod. For the last photo, a tent glowing from inside at dusk, with some colour left in the sky, tends to work better. If your skies are properly dark, say so in the words — and mention a dark-sky designation only if you hold one, under its exact name.
Rain and cold are part of the story
Anyone sleeping under canvas wants to know what happens if it rains or the temperature drops: a stove, spare blankets, somewhere covered to eat. One sentence in the night-time moment settles it before it turns into a message.
Questions
- My units are domes. Will the page show domes?
- It shows yours, because all six photos are yours: each becomes an image with depth, and the camera travels a short way into it. It’s not a 3D model of the dome to circle around; it’s your photo, with volume. What the photo doesn’t show, your words tell.
- Do the photos leave my computer? How long is the wait?
- They don’t: the wizard prepares them in your browser, scales them to 2,048 px at most, re-saves them without the location a phone usually adds and works out their depth right there. Only the first takes longer, because it fetches the depth model, roughly 46 MB, from promti.app that one time; after that a recent computer finishes all six in seconds, and one without WebGPU needs around 4–5 seconds a photo.
- My photos are old phone shots. Will they do?
- If they’re sharp and no smaller than 1,600 px on their long side, yes; the 3D won’t improve them, only give them depth. But all six are needed, and they should show the site as it is now: if the tents or the deck have changed, take new ones on a clear day, and the last one at dusk.
- Can I change the photos when I add tents?
- Yes. The browser where you made the site keeps your answers and photos: replace the one that needs it, its 3D is made again, and download the site once more at no extra cost. You publish it as you did the first time.
- My tents have different prices. How do I show that?
- The card shows a single starting price, so use your lowest. Each tent’s price can go in the text of its moment, and the button can lead to the page where guests pick their tent.
