About American School Bus Glamping

The American School Bus. A true Icon. It’s big, and it’s Yellow. Our genuine American School Bus offer wonderful glamping holidays with the perfect mix of exceptional comfort and iconic style, and of course lots of fun. THE BEST QUIRKY GLAMPING ACCOMMODATION!

What Are The Sleeping Arrangements On the American School Bus?

Do as you like and have fun - we won't judge! You'll find a really comfy king-sized bed, two proper size bunk beds and a double sofabed with all the duvets and pillows and sheets and towels and stuff. Relax. It's all sorted.

How Much Room Is There?

Plenty to relax in, sleep in, play in, chill in, cook in. Enough to swing a cat, but don't.

Stay in a genuine iconic American School Bus!

The American School Bus. It’s big, and it’s Yellow - and the best fun to stay in!

We'd love you to welcome you to stay in a genuine American School Bus in Somerset.

Our fabulously converted School Bus offers wonderful glamping stays with the perfect mix of exceptional comfort and iconic style, lots of fun, and yes - it's a bit bonkers...

Known as 'Skoolies' by every kid across America, our converted bus offers plenty of space and classic looks to provide the best bus glamping experience in the UK!

Why stay in your Nan's stuck-in-the-1970s mouldy Caravan, or an ex Post Office robbery Transit Van with a questionable mattress, or a leaky tent? Seriously - lets ramp things up!

This isn't a basic bring-your-own-bedding camping - this is SO COOL! Our Icon carried seventy school-kids so has plenty of space. Our American School Bus was converted with love and passion providing a fabulous and magical fun experience for all who stay. We transformed it with thought and style for the best bus glamping for couples, families and friends.

A Unique Stay for Kids...

We were all kids once. Twice in my case - but anyway, remember when you were a kid? Given the choice, if you were able to choose to holiday in a tent, a damp shed or a big yellow bus, what would you have chosen? Exactly - and our fabulous American School Bus appeals to children of all ages. Families will enjoy a fantastic and fun experience, memories will be made, pictures shared, friends told.

...and Great for Big Kids!

Warm, comfy, funky. All you need for a great stay. Cook up a storm, mix a Mojito, enjoy a chilled Brewdog or Vouvray, BBQ like a legend, glam right up, dress for the beach, sleep like a sleepy thing. Do what you like, how you like, when you like. Do it to Neil Diamond, Neil Young, some chilled Hotel Costes or even the Benny Hill theme - we won’t judge!*
