England is best known for its urban attractions, thanks largely to London being its cultural and economic center. There is, however, more to the country than its capital. Various campsites are situated by lush countrysides, fantastic beaches, verdant forests, and idyllic farms, allowing those who want to take a quick break from the fast-paced city life. Want to enjoy spending a night or two outdoors but don’t want the trouble of pitching your own tent? Don’t worry, glamping spots have sprouted across the country in the past years to provide travelers the chance to unwind without depriving them of their creature comforts. Check out this list of the 10 best glamping spots in England, the UK.
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 08, 2024.
