Glamping in Jurassic Coast

Ranging from simple pre-pitched tents to constructions worthy of a place on Grand Designs, the glamping business is booming on the Jurassic Coast. Classic, quirky, and canvas, the bell tent is the classic starting place—along with other pre-pitched tents, they put just a little luxury into a camping trip: the luxury of not having to pitch a tent! Most glamping sites also typically furnish their tents so you can expect more than a blow-up mattress and oftentimes bedding and camping kits. Just make sure you know what’s included before you set out.

The same goes for Mongolian yurts, which usually have a little more headroom than a bell tent and perhaps a solid floor. Tipis certainly look cool and are usually bigger still, while safari tents are often houses in miniature with separate rooms and maybe a verandah.

Another classic among Jurassic Coast glamping sites is the shepherd’s hut. These little cabins on wheels are popular for a reason—they provide cosy, comfy accommodation that does not look out of place in the countryside. Based on the shepherd’s living accommodation of yesteryear, they are movable and compact with a romantic appeal. With all sorts of glamping pods, cabins, quirky converted vehicles, and fantastic treehouses, there’s bound to be a glamping site for you on the Jurassic Coast.
