Guy and Ruth Wimpory are the innovative minds behind Skoolie Stays, a unique glamping experience in Sussex that combines sustainable living with outdoor adventure. Their journey began in 2019 when they embarked on a transformative year-long trip across the United States in a converted American school bus, also known as a Skoolie. This experience inspired them to bring the joys of off-grid living back to the UK, leading to the launch of their glamping business in June 2021.

Skoolie Stays offers distinctive accommodations, including a creatively converted school bus and a modern eco-cabin, crafted from UK materials to minimize carbon impact. Their mission is to promote the benefits of outdoor life through luxury glamping that merges comfort with eco-friendliness. Visitors can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying quirky design and sustainable practices. Since its inception, the business has thrived, resonating with guests seeking rejuvenating off-grid experiences and inspiring the pursuit of sustainable staycations.
