Glamping in Wales
Glamping accommodation across Wales includes pods, shepherd’s huts, cabins and other small-scale stays that sit somewhere between camping and a traditional holiday let.
Why choose glamping in Wales?
Glamping suits people who want to stay close to the outdoors without the inconvenience of traditional camping. Wales works particularly well for this style of stay, offering coastline, open countryside and dark-sky areas within relatively short travelling distances.
Types of glamping accommodation
Glamping in Wales covers a broad range of small, self-contained units, each suited to different types of trips.
Glamping Pods

Compact, traditionally styled huts that tend to suit couples looking for a quieter, more contained stay.
Yurts & Safari Tents
