Meet the People Behind Wanderlust

"Vetted, not viral" is easy to put on a website. It's a lot more meaningful once you know who's actually doing the vetting. 

So here's a proper introduction to the small team behind Wanderlust Camping Club — the people visiting sites, answering emails, and deciding what does and doesn't make the cut.

Matt — Founder & Director

Wanderlust started with Matt, and it's still very much his standards the club is built around. He's the one out on the road doing the expert site visits — the actual walking-the-land, checking-the-details work that decides whether a site earns a place in the club. He's also co-owner of The Hide at Manton Bay, an award-winning glamping site by Rutland Water, so the eye he brings to vetting other sites is one he applies to running his own.

Jazz — Marketing & Sales Manager

Jazz covers a lot of ground: customer and site happiness, socials and marketing, partnerships, copywriting, and the technical side of keeping things running behind the scenes. If you've had a smooth experience finding out about Wanderlust or love how we're shouting about your site and getting bookings, there's a good chance Jazz had a hand in it.

Phoebe — Operations

Phoebe is the one making sure everything holds together once a site joins the club — applications, compliance, oversight, and the aftercare that happens once a site is up and running. It's not the most visible job, but it's the one that keeps the whole thing trustworthy, credible and worth joining. You'll hear from Phoebe every month if you join our club!

Why this matters

None of this is a big team. That's rather the point — Wanderlust isn't trying to be the biggest camping club out there, just the most carefully put together. Every site you see on the platform has been through actual people, not an algorithm, and actual standards, not a form you fill in yourself.
