The very best luxury glamping sites in the UK to visit this summer

By Adrianna Johns   |  

Forget about traditional camping and instead focus on glamping, as it can offer you exactly what you are looking for — a perfect fusion of nature and opulence.

There is an array of luxury camping sites here in the UK, making it difficult to choose. However, we have made a list of the best glamping sites for you to visit this summer here in the UK— no expense or wish spared. These really do put the ‘glam’ into glamping.

However, before planning your luxury glamping getaway, don’t forget that not every glamping site offers electricity on site (by design usually) so we suggest that you consider investing in a portable generator, as it will be one of your most useful tools when travelling to an outdoors location as they are a trustworthy source of power.

The best generator we recommend is the Briggs & Stratton 30651 P2200 PowerSmart Series Inverter Generator, as it comes in small and easy-to-transport size and is considered to be safer for your electrical devices due to its improved control over power surges.

Dimpsey Glamping, Somerset

This 18ft-long shepherd’s hut brings luxury into a refined space, designed with impeccable attention to detail.
