The East Anglian country of England is famous for its colorful festivals, gorgeous beaches, beautiful nature, and an interesting historic background. The country is blessed with generous gifts from mother nature, from lavender-covered Heath to the gorgeous beaches. During the fifth century, the Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of this area got divided into ‘North Folk’ and ‘South Folk’. Later, the term ‘South Folk’ gave birth to the name Suffolk. In the past, this country made money from the wool trade. Dig into some history of this town at Sutton Hoo, which loosely translates to ‘Valley of the Kings’. The small market town Bury St Edmunds also presents a good dose of history. The awesome blend of nature and history can only be enjoyed if your stay matches the outdoors. Check out the best glamping spots in Suffolk, the UK, for a glamourous camping experience.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
