Plenty of people think glamping is a summer thing, and that the season ends when the schools go back. It doesn’t. Many of the sites we list are open all year, and autumn is one of the best times to go: quieter sites, golden woodland, crisp walks, early dark evenings for stargazing, and the simple pleasure of coming back to a warm cabin and a crackling stove.
The secret is choosing the right kind of glamping. A bell tent in a field is a summer treat. An insulated pod, a shepherd’s hut with a wood burner or a cabin with underfloor heating is a different story, and it’s as snug in November as a cottage. Here’s what to look for, and 20 sites across England, Scotland and Wales that are open right through the autumn, most of them all year round.
What to look for in an autumn glamping stay
- Proper heating. Look for “insulated”, “underfloor heating”, “central heating” or a heater you can control. Most pods and cabins have this. Canvas tents often don’t.
- Cosy heating. A stove, underfloor heating or a heater you can control yourself. Check what’s included, such as logs.
- A private bathroom. On a cold, wet night you won’t want to cross a field to the shower block. “En-suite” is worth paying a little more for in autumn.
- A hot tub. Nearly half of UK glamping sites now have one (47%, according to our State of UK Glamping 2026 study), and they’re at their best on a chilly evening under the stars. Wood-fired tubs take a while to heat, so ask how long.
- Somewhere to dry off. A covered deck or porch, and space for muddy boots, makes a big difference after an autumn walk.
The North of England
Skelwith Fold, Ambleside, Lake District is set in more than 100 acres of woodland near Ambleside and the northern shore of Windermere, and is open until mid-November, so it’s perfect for autumn colour in the Lakes. The Safari Suites have a hot tub built into the balcony, looking out over the Langdales, where you can watch the wildlife or take in the night sky. There are also safari tents in a woodland glade (look out for deer and red squirrels) and glamping pods, all with their own kitchen and bathroom. The suites and tents have indoor heaters, and the family pods have gas heating. Some units take dogs, and outside the school holidays you can book a single night in some of the accommodation.
Hesleyside Huts, Northumberland are cosy all year round, insulated with sheep’s wool, with a wood-burning stove, down duvets and an en-suite. The site is inside the Northumberland Dark Sky reserve and can lend you a complete stargazing kit with binoculars and telescopes. From £80 to £120 a night.
Wolds Walk Glamping, North Yorkshire is open all year, with underfloor heating in the pods and controllable heaters in the shepherd’s huts. There are views to the North York Moors, a hot tub, and your own fire pit to finish the day with a spot of stargazing.

The Midlands

Tinywood Four, Warwickshire is open all year round and built just for two, in an acre of pasture on a working farm near Long Itchington, between Leamington Spa and Southam. The king size bed sits beneath a blossom tree spread across the ceiling, there’s a private shower room with an electric heater and a heated towel rail, and outside, a covered kitchen with a wood burner keeps the evening going whatever the weather. The hot tub has its own timbered gazebo looking out over the fields. Dogs are welcome, and there’s no Wi-Fi or TV, on purpose. Long Itchington, with seven pubs, is a short walk along an old railway line.
Fair Farm Hideaway, Leicestershire has shepherd’s huts with heating to keep them comfortable all year round. Some have a log burner, and eight have their own wood-fired hot tub. Huts start from £72 a night, or £110 with a hot tub.
Colehurst Lake, Shropshire offers glamping all year round in cabins set around a lake, with wood-fired hot tubs looking over the water. In the site’s own words, expect “misty mornings and starry nights”, which is about as autumnal as it gets.
