Exciting, intriguing and full of fun, glamping in a treehouse is quite unlike anything you will have experienced before and, if you love a space that fires the imagination, treehouse glamping will be perfect for you. From giant orbs suspended among the branches of redwoods, to woodland cabins on stilts and vast oak dens in the forest, there’s a treehouse for every type of glamper with a range of prices and facilities too.

Every treehouse on our list has the Hipcamp stamp of approval, which means you can book your holiday rest assured that you’re not only getting the best price but you’re also bagging a spot at one of the best treehouses around.
What is a treehouse?
A treehouse (or tree house) is a structure you can stay in, built around or in a tree and its branches, sometimes encompassing more than one tree. And, when it comes to the world of glamping, a treehouse is essentially any glamping structure that is raised far above the height of regular forms of accommodation. Not every treehouse will be deep in a forest or built directly in a tree. Many are built on large long stilts, which offer the main support and give the treehouse its height. The important thing, however, is that the structure gives a sense of living at the height of a tree’s branches, providing a bird’s-eye-view. The Oxford English Dictionary define it as:
“A structure built in the branches of a tree for children to play in.”
But nowadays treehouses have gone far beyond their origins as a place for make-believe play for children. We may be grown up here at Hipcamp HQ but we simply adore staying in a treehouse. There are some things you’re never too old for!
