Glamping & Alternative Accommodation

Sometimes you just want something a bit different when you’re going away, and if you are that person, we have you covered with a list of the best Glamping and Alternative Accommodation options Devon has to offer!

So, what exactly is ‘glamping’? Well, simply put, it is glamourous camping. If you don’t think that camping can be glamourous then you have never experienced glamping. We all know that camping has a rustic charm, but not everyone likes the idea of spending the night out in the British wilderness, which is why glamping is the perfect compromise. You get proper beds, you get actual showers. Interested? Then read on!

With all the fun of camping plus the comforts of home, glamping is the cool kids’ way to (not) rough it and Devon has some of the best glamping sites in the country. Glamping is perfect for those of you who want the camping experience but without the unglamourous aspects, forget about freezing in a sleeping bag while your tent sways in the wind and forget about heating beans over a small stove, glamping gives you all the mod cons without taking away the joy of sleeping outside and being at one with nature.

If you fancy staying in something that feels like a tent but is more substantial, usually with proper beds and cooking facilities and sometimes even plumbing and electrics, you’ll find a good range of alternative accommodation options across Devon.

From contemporary yurts to Medieval-style pavilions, renovated shepherd’s huts to purpose-built pods, glamping and alternative accommodation sites are dotted all over Devon, in beautiful country and coastal settings. Many also offer great ‘getting down with nature experiences’ too: expect foraging trips, campfire gatherings, woodland cafes, and the option to collect your own eggs in the morning.

If you like glamping, you might also enjoy Devon's campsites and holiday parks too.

Much like the people holidaying in Devon, the glamping and alternative accommodation sites are just as unique as they are. Whatever your taste and style, we can find something for you.

Glampsites.com have locations all over Devon so you can be sure of an interesting stay, wherever in the county you choose to visit. If you want to sleep among the treetops or spend a few nights in a Mongolian Yurt, feel the sea breeze or use it as a base for exploring the wider countryside, they have a site for you. With them or one of our other glamping members, you can enjoy being out in the countryside without having to compromise on luxury. The best bit? You can camp in any weather, don’t worry about having to wake up to a leaking tent, you can spend the night in a wooden lodge or a giant safari tent and not even notice the wind and rain outside!

Beyond Escapes also offer a range of alternative accommodation options, if you’ve ever fancied spending the night looking over Torbay from a turret or perhaps staying in a deluxe lodge with underfloor heating. They even have options for those travelling with small children and dogs so you don’t have to miss out on the glamping experience!

Award-winning Devon glamping

Many of Devon glamping sites have won accolades, some of them have been featured in the press regionally and nationally and the below has been recognised by Visit Devon’s own Tourism Awards.

Longlands, in a private valley near Combe Martin, has five beautifully furnished luxury safari lodges in a lakeside setting with sea views – all with wood burning stoves! Each of them can sleep up to six and have king-sized beds in them and vintage Chesterfield sofas!
