Glamping with kids

All the fun of camping (fires, stars, fresh air) with real beds and a roof that doesn’t leak. Glamping is a great first step for families new to the outdoors.

Scout’s tip

Scout’s glamping check

Check exactly what’s included: bedding, towels, heating, electricity, private bathroom or shared block. It varies hugely.

  • Look for sites with play areas or farm animals
  • Fire pits make the evening
  • Book school holidays early

Types of glamping

  • Yurts and bell tents with real beds.
  • Pods and shepherd’s huts: cosy and weatherproof.
  • Safari tents: roomy, often with kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Treehouses: a teen favourite.

Before you book

Check the sleeping arrangements for your family size, whether there’s heating, and how far the car park and toilets are. Midweek and term-time stays are usually cheaper.
