Camping Pods of the future!

Think Outside the Box: Learn Why Our Revolutionary Camping Pods Are the Ultimate Investment in Your Park and the Future Your Visitors Crave.

Look around. Scattered across our lovely English countryside, there they are: bargain-basement camping pods. Boxlike wooden sheds, already appearing aged in some instances, ready to be the eyesores – and money pits – of the future. They’re an opportunity squandered.

A sunk cost that moulders in front of your eyes, bringing down your park’s attractiveness and your possible returns. 

Of course, some firms provide superior pods, but their shapes are impractical, their designs uninspired, and their prices grossly out of proportion to the service provided.

This is when the future takes shape. Our second-generation camping pods aren’t an upgrade; they’re a total reimagining of what holiday accommodation is—and should be. We didn’t only design new pods; we designed a solution for park owners who desire more.

1. Breaking the “Cheap & Cheerful” Look (Because Cheep’s Not Cheerful for Long): Gone are the days of boxy, utilitarian eyesores. Our pods now boast sleek, contemporary lines and a thoughtfully integrated design. Picture structures that enhance the natural beauty of your park rather than clash with it. With their curved rooflines, superior cladding options that transcend basic treated timber, expansive glazing that frames breath taking views, and elegant finishes, these designs evoke an immediate sense of quality and desirability.
These pods are like high-end retreats, giving your park an instant reputation boost and attracting visitors willing to invest in a truly special experience. First impressions last – ours radiate comfort, sophistication, and value.

2. Made for Generations, Not Seasons (Your Investment, Secured) :>
The horror tale of pods rotting within 5 years concludes here. Longevity is key. We use advanced, engineered materials and construction methods created for contemporary architectural specifications.    Consider higher, sustainably sourced timber composites, the latest weather-resistant membranes, and corrosion-resistant fixings. This is not merely wood; it is a system built to endure decades of British weather without ongoing, expensive maintenance. 

Say goodbye to the repair, replacement, and lost revenue cycle.
Our pods are a genuine long-term investment, securing your capital and providing consistent returns year after year.

3. The Net Zero Advantage: Reducing Costs, Enhancing Attractiveness:
Sustainability is not a buzzword; it’s your next big profit centre. Our pods are designed from the ground up as Net Zero ambassadors:

Unparalleled Insulation: The high-quality thermal envelopes minimize heat loss, 

If you look at the inside of the entrance you will see clearly what happens to pods only after 4-6 years, Rot!

so that only a minimal amount of energy is needed to heat and cosy up guests, even in the winter months. Farewell to those sky-high heating bills.
Integrated Renewable Potential: Engineered to integrate readily with solar PV and other renewables, for on-site power generation that lowers not only operating costs but also your carbon footprint.
Energy-Efficient Design: Careful window location boosts passive solar heat during winter, and in summer, natural ventilation, thereby eliminating the necessity for artificial heating and cooling.

This directly impacts your bottom line: it results in significantly lower utility costs per pod and provides a compelling marketing message that attracts the increasingly eco-conscious traveller.

4. Park Owner Sanity (Low Maintenance, High Uptime) Designed For:

We understand your time is money. Instead of retro-type pods that require frequent staining, sealing, and patching, our designs emphasize low-maintenance durability. Timeless high-performance materials withstand fading, warping, and rot. Intelligently designed details minimize dirt traps and simplify cleaning. This means more time on guest experience and park management, less time and money on maintenance. Book more of your rental calendar and less of your headaches.

5. The ROI Revolution: Where Quality Meets Measured Returns: Yes, our pods are a more premium investment than the cheap ones that are everywhere. But this is where vision comes into play:

 Longer Lifespan: A 20+-year pod versus one that’s deteriorating in 5 years completely alters the depreciation curve and long-term ROI.

Increased rental premiums are the result of better design, comfort, and green credentials that collectively achieve premium nightly rates and attract visitors year-round.

 Substantially Reduced Operating Expenses: Cut down heating/electricity bills and low maintenance costs greatly increase net profit per pod.

Enhanced Park Reputation & Occupancy: Establish a reputation for sustainability and quality, drawing in more bookings and encouraging repeat guests.

Future-Proofed Investment: With building codes and guest expectations quickly evolving towards energy efficiency, our Net Zero-ready pods put you in front of this shifting curve. 

Buying cheap pods is a false economy. When you buy our state-of-the-art camping pods, holiday accommodation, and glamping pods, you’re investing in the strong, lucrative, and popular future of your park. Say goodbye to eyesores and money pits. 

Say goodbye to paying too much for unrealistic “premium” designs. Enter the future of camping accommodation. Are you prepared to turn your park into a shining example of excellence, comfort, sustainability, and high returns?

What is a PODBIN, Camping Pods for sale log cabins LV

Camping Pods, they are all the rage now, “AGAIN” so many people are looking for them, and so many people are buying “Podbins”, yes “Podbins” and I coined the phrase” remember Kevin Langham coined the phrase PodBins”  I also coined the phrase Clock House Log Cabins, Twinskin Log Cabins and now “Podbins”, and as the popularity of garden offices and Pods for camping in the UK resurges again camping pod sadly the build quality because of demand is becoming criminal and that’s where PODBIN came from…. You heard it first here on LV…

I have added a few images, or what I like to say is my designs from the heart, at what can be achieved with in a small space, yet giving everyone a fantastic feeling (warmth love and home) because when you’re at home your safe, when you are in my Pods, your home, just with a twist. But the love of my design, and the warmth of the build quality, envelops you in the spirit of a great stay and Holiday! 

Also my camping pod designs, that have been copied, and sadly some look or are in the PODBIN department, one company comes to mind, yep! Old man Keith from Arch Leisure is a prime example of that Podbin production, evolution, sadly Keith the owner has been selling toilets and showers, also low end caravans for so many years, he believes his copies of my pods, and a few other peoples designs,  but done in his way, the dreaded awful disgusting caravan way, in other words he manufacturers them like a caravan, they may look like a pod, but in reality they are just a curved version of a very cheap and cheerful ugly awful caravan, as its in his blood,  just shows where him and other like him are headed, extinction! , as are many others. The British public do not want a Caravan type environment any more, it’s time to wake up and treat our public with respect, we are not in Joe Butlins time, it’s gone, I know your reaching 70 soon Keith and you think you know what people want, you don’t, that’s why your prime business is toilet and showers. And even they are awful. Sorry, but they remind me of going to football as a child the smell and the doors hanging off and showers not working properly, and everything slippery and dirty. I hope the awful looking Podbins you have built, last and do not leak and that whoever has bought them understands you know nothing about nothing in construction and you have sold them a PODBIN.

Very soon, I will start a Blog and I and a structural engineer will rip the heart out of 999.9% of pods manufactures, and advice you the customer what is and is not safe to purchase. Safety firstly comes in structure, and that means a professional timber craftsman, I do not mean a chippy, I mean a guy who understands the force that mother nature can and does frequently attack small and large buildings. You must not forget we manufacture houses on a daily basis to high spec of TEK 17 which is the Norwegian build regulations, and we build over 250 houses a year this means we understand what is and is not good when it comes to manufacturing, as we are considered the best of the best

Mother nature attacks what ever it is, a pod a house a barn, and domestic building, or non domestic building the same, principles stay the same, and we must take into effect the wind loads, weights and pressures and the pressure inside and outside, how to tape a timber frame so the Sat rating is in the 0.2 mark, not like in the UK where its 10 ( Air sealing)  and how to keep a pod from being blown over or allowing the wind to cave in the roof, and all these small details goes into our pods, because we put our pods in extreme places, which means our camping pods are at the top end of the market, and not to be mistaken for the PODBIN’s out there and

Lastly the windows and doors must be certified against Fire, and theft, also have the CE stamp attached. And make sure they have not used the window or door frame as a key part of the strength of structure, this would mean the glass can blow out, under high pressure, many back street companies do this and not realise what they are doing, standing in front of a large window and it explodes, well, you can imagine what the insurance company would do with you, and police, plus the health a safety, so be smart. Always. Think LV, as we have done all the thinking for you.

Tan House, Tan Office, the cost is about 9000 pounds ex works , but is 100% amazing, made this about 8 years ago, yes we are ahead of everyone always. Siberian larch , fully kitted out!

…………………….The best is LV………………..

If any one asks me to make this,,,,,,, NO…………Never again,,,,, awful desgin, manufacturing it was a nightmare and alot of amazing Russian Northern Pine C24 graded timber was cut to make this.

Above shows you that our camping pods are built for strength in so many ways. But also they are the only pods built by senior house manufacturers who understand everything about everything. We lead the way, the others attempt to copy. ,,,,,,,,,BEWARE OF THE PODBINS!

Please look how thick the roof is above, this timber frame beautiful A++ building can with stand anything mother nature will ever throw at her!

Yes I know you love it, and so does the owner he bought quite a few! it’s not about fighting to win a camping pod order that counts for us, it’s about making sure that we treat everyone as family, and as family we want you to get the best, and the best, comes from us, our thoughts are not driven by our wallet but by the love of our designs workmanship and longevity, beauty of what we manufacture to blend in and compliment the surroundings. And to offer people a new kind of feeling, and new warmth and a new love in there lives!

We don’t just build amazing pods, we also dabble at amazing small houses! oh! and Big…..

Camping Cube-Pod 2017

Here at log cabins LV we are always trying to design and bring to market new and exciting concepts that lift quality levels higher than the competition.

Full Building Regulations, fitted with CE certified windows and doors, and fully insulated.

Camping Cube-Pod 2017

Our Camping Pods are without doubt the best on the market; we have prided ourselves to offer high quality with low pricing.

camping-pod-cube-2017-02

Our new Camping Cube is offering a completely new concept to glamping.

camping-pod-cube-2017-05

Glamping, is without doubt still very much sought after by the public as an alternative to tents and expensive hotel rooms.

camping-pod-cube-2017-07

However, pods do have limitations, and we have seen over the last 7 years, more and more campsites, hoteliers, and holiday parks, looking for another iconic design that will offer again a snug, comfortable, price conscious structure.

camping-pod-cube-2017-08

However, we have decided to go one further, we have decided to design a building that completely conforms to build regulations, which are movable, which come with shower, toilet, basin and water heaters as standard.

 

We have tried desperately to get away from curved walls, which minimize livable space, and tried incredibly hard to offer a more up market feeling.

Camping Cube-Pod 2017.

Camping pods really do offer a stimulating experience; regrettably, we have found that some people find living in a tube for more than a weekend away, can become claustrophobic.

camping-pod-cube-2017-10

Our Mega Camping Pods, starting at 4.0m x 4.8m are without doubt the best solution for a camping quality Pod experience. With an internal ceiling height of 2.8m, they really do feel exceptionally roomy and very airy; claustrophobia is not in these pods DNA!

 

All our Camping Mega Pod collection offers an internal high ceiling of no less than 2.8m, showers, toilets, water heaters, kitchens etc. It is very much your choice to bespoke your Pod.

 

We are of course pleased to receive any design, and offer a total bespoke service.
