Glamping in Epping Forest

·

Glamping in Epping Forest skips the hassle and hands you comfort—think yurts, bell tents, and shepherd’s huts set among ancient oaks and hornbeams. With over 200 glamping options here, you can trade muddy boots for a soft bed and a hot cuppa, all without leaving the wild behind. Average nights go for £125, but you’ll spot options dipping as low as £60. Top picks like The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Tomkins Farm (87 reviews), and Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping (46 reviews) blend woodland peace with just enough civilisation. Bring your dog, light a campfire, and keep binoculars close—wildlife-watching is prime, and you’ll find fishing ponds tucked close by. Epping Forest doesn’t just look the part; it delivers on every level for anyone after a proper glamping escape.

Wealderness is a small, low-density glamping retreat set within 25 acres of rewilding land in the High Weald of Sussex. Our accommodation is scattered across woodland, meadows and streamside clearings, with plenty of space between pitches and a strong focus on peace, nature and privacy. Stay in a romantic Showman’s Carriage, a quirky Palm Springs-inspired motorhome, a shepherd’s hut, tiny caravan or one of our unique tree tents suspended among the trees. Guests come here to slow down: cooking over firepits, relaxing in hammocks, spotting wildlife, exploring woodland paths and watching heritage steam trains pass through the landscape. Every pitch has its own character, but all share the same sense of space and connection to nature. Wealderness is ideal for couples, friends and families looking for something more personal than a holiday park and more comfortable than traditional camping. Expect birdsong, campfires, dark skies and room to breathe. Located in the heart of the Sussex High Weald, within easy reach of London, Brighton and the South Coast.
