I rarely see them in the UK, outside of festivals and the occasional hippy farmer.

Not sure which part of the UK you're in but the North of England and South of Scotland have a fair few campsites with them. They can be set up with stoves and comfortable beds so fit into the "glamping" bracket.

Ah that explains it, I'm in the south.

I've seen the glamping sites with yurts in the lake district before, but I assumed they're few and far between. Guess I was wrong.

They're all over the place:
