p>Fresh data from the Love Glamping directory — 276 hand-picked UK glamping sites, August 2026.

Headline findings

  • The typical UK glamping stay starts at £110 a night (median “from” price across 266 single-site listings), though prices run from budget pitches around £15 to luxury escapes over £1,700.
  • The humble pod rules Britain. Pods & cabins are by far the most common glamping stay — more than half of all sites (144 of 276) offer one.
  • Treehouses are the priciest way to glamp, starting at a median £171 a night — followed by safari tents (£160). Camp-site pitches are the cheapest at around £65.
  • Big regional price gaps. Among well-stocked counties, North Wales is the best value (median £93 a night) while Somerset is the priciest (£234) — roughly 2.5× more for the same night away.
  • Nearly half of glamping sites now have a hot tub. 47% of sites (129 of 276) offer one — no longer a rare luxury, but fast becoming an expected treat.
  • The South West is Britain’s glamping capital, home to more sites than any other region, with Wales the strongest single nation outside England.

Price by region — the county league table

Median starting price varies widely by county (counties with 6+ listed sites):

RegionMedian “from”Sites
North Wales — best value£9318
South Wales£9410
Cornwall£9513
North Yorkshire£9910
Suffolk£1028
Cumbria£1109
Norfolk£11012
Herefordshire£1106
Hampshire£11510
Kent£12516
Dorset£1268
Devon£14021
Gloucestershire£1596
Somerset — priciest£23412

Shropshire is nominally cheapest at £83, but from only 6 sites; North Wales (18 sites) is the best-value well-stocked county.

What’s most popular?

Pods & cabins dominate — 52% of all sites offer them — reflecting how the cosy, insulated, year-round pod has become the default British glamping stay. Safari tents (69) and shepherd’s huts (53) follow.

The hot-tub story

Nearly half of Love Glamping’s sites — 47% (129 of 276) — now offer a hot tub, so the once-rare bubbling extra is close to becoming a standard part of the British glamping break. Sites that have one still command a premium, so if a hot tub matters to you, expect to pay a little more and book ahead.

About this data

Figures are the lowest advertised nightly “from” rate on each Love Glamping listing, as supplied by advertisers and gathered on 24 August 2026 — a dated snapshot, and advertised prices change over time. The price analysis uses 266 single-site listings; multi-site booking aggregators (which quote a cheapest per-person rate rather than a whole-site nightly price) and a small number of clear data errors are excluded so they don’t distort the figures. Region and accommodation type are taken from each listing’s categories. All prices are indicative medians, rounded to the nearest pound. Source: the Love Glamping directory of 276 UK glamping sites.
