Best Glamping in Wales

Wales fits mountains, coastline and wide-open countryside into a surprisingly small space — one of the reasons it’s such a rewarding place to go glamping. From Snowdonia’s peaks to the beaches of Pembrokeshire and the Gower, here are the Welsh sites we love.

Wales’ varied, often damp climate is part of what gives it its fresh mountain air and abundant streams and waterfalls — and glamping means you get the benefit of that landscape with proper insulation, heating and comfort, making it a strong year-round option rather than just a summer one.

Glamping in North Wales

Snowdonia National Park is one of the standout areas for glamping in North Wales, offering rugged peaks, peaceful valleys and crystal-clear lakes — whether you’re hiking the mountains or simply taking in the views from your accommodation.

• Snowdonia — mountains, valleys and lakes; a strong base for hikers
• Conwy Castle — a medieval castle visible from the road as you approach the town, with an impressive bridge nearby
• The Welsh Highland Railway — runs between Caernarfon and Porthmadog through dramatic mountain scenery
• Zip World — zip lines and underground adventures, based around Bethesda and Betws-y-Coed near Snowdonia

Farm glamping is also widely available across North Wales, offering a quieter, rural alternative to the mountain sites.  Try Pant Y March Feather Down Farms 

Glamping in South Wales

Cardiff offers a strong mix of culture and city energy for glampers wanting to combine a countryside stay with a day of shopping arcades and waterfront dining.

• Gower Peninsula — golden beaches, surfing, and dramatic cliffs
• Skomer Island — Wales’ most famous island for wildlife, known for its puffins and coastal scenery
• Welsh coastline — a range of coastal glamping options, including dog-friendly sites and accessible accommodation for those with limited mobility. Sloeberry Farm is just three miles from the beach in Cardigan Bay and Nightsky Glamping is just 2 miles from the sandy beaches of Abersoch.

Glamping in Mid Wales and the Welsh Borders

Often overlooked in favour of Snowdonia and the coast, Mid Wales is the quiet heart of the country — the Cambrian Mountains, the Brecon Beacons and the market towns of Powys. It’s a strong choice if you want dark skies, big walks and real peace, with Hay-on-Wye’s bookshops and the Elan Valley reservoirs both within easy reach.

Types of glamping accommodation in Wales

• Shepherd’s huts — cosy, traditionally styled
• Safari tents — spacious canvas-style accommodation
• Glamping pods — proper beds, heating, often en suite
• Yurts — roomy, suited to families or groups

Many sites include private hot tubs, ideal for relaxing after a day on the trails or the coast, along with stargazing away from city lights.

Is glamping in Wales good for outdoor activities?

Yes. Wales offers mountain biking trails through the hills that draw riders from across the UK and Europe, hiking across Snowdonia and the wider countryside, surfing on the Gower Peninsula, and coastal walking along the Pembrokeshire coast. Many glamping sites are positioned specifically for easy access to these activities.

Is glamping in Wales dog-friendly?

Yes — dog-friendly sites are available across both North and South Wales, including a number of coastal sites. Always check the individual site listing for their specific dog policy.

We list glamping sites across Wales on our website, updated regularly — if you have specific questions, feel free to contact us or the individual sites directly.

Whether it’s a hot tub under the stars in Snowdonia, a dog-friendly bolthole near the Pembrokeshire coast or a family farm stay in the Borders, Wales does glamping beautifully in every season — misty and romantic in winter, long and golden in summer.
