Glamping in North East England

·

If you don’t have your own camping kit or don’t fancy the journey up north with the car stacked to the rafters, how about glamping in North East England? There are plenty of places to choose from, and if a chill wind blows in off the North Sea or down from neighbouring Scotland, you might just find yourself feeling a little smug as you toast toes by a log-burning stove.

There are lots of glamping accommodations in the North East that come kitted out with stoves, blankets, and insulation to keep you cosy on cooler days—think log cabins, eco pods, shepherd’s huts, caravans, and yurts. These little touches can make glamping a great way to extend the camping season beyond the summer, as many glamping sites are open year-round, giving you a cosy place to hide away after days outside in the elements. The level of luxury you choose really depends on your taste, as there are plenty of places that offer an experience that’s akin to staying in a boutique hotel with hot tubs, fluffy towels, and proper beds made up with luxury linens.

But if it’s a taste of the simpler things in life you’re after, choose a glamping site that keeps things easy. Pre-erected bell tents, safari tents, and tipis can offer that back-to-basics feel. You’ll have the pleasure of sleeping under canvas without the faff of pitching your own tent, which is great for first-time campers or families with young kids who want to test the water without investing in equipment.

With a private valley, formed in the last ice age, acres of land and woodland to explore, our farm has a very special feeling which has been mentioned by every visitor. Occupied by some beautiful wildlife, including buzzards and owls, deer, badgers and foxes. The Wagons have a grass roof, firepits, sleep 4 (in double bunk format), they are hand-made from reclaimed materials salvaged from the local town and other areas, double skinned and insulated with sheeps wool. They have a 2-ring gas-burner in the cute kitchen area, dining table and seating, and are the perfect home away from home. All the decor is vintage, including cuttlery, crockery and even the childrens teddy's. Being on the doorstep of Dalby Forest, there are hours of entertainment to be had. You can follow the stream at the bottom of the valley to the River Derwent or venture into the surounding woods. We can provide a guest pass (free access) for Dalby Forest. The Wagons are not powered by electricity and are romantically lit by candles and oil lamps. Heated by cast iron gas heaters.

Coast and Camplight Whitby Glamping

14. Coast and Camplight Whitby Glamping

(2)
1 unit · Glamping · England
Our camps are spread out across our site, each one secluded from the others with nothing to see but the meadows, woods, views and at night the starry skies. The site is truly wild, with ancient woodland to one side with a beck running through it, and fields which we are rewilding full of wildflowers, bees and butterflies. The wildlife runs riot, with deer, owls, badgers, bats and all kinds of wild birds regular visitors. To preserve our wilderness and peace no cars are allowed on site; our visitors walk down the fields to their camps, leaving the real world with their cars at the gate (if you have mobility problems please contact us directly). Our camps are completely off-grid making it perfect for those looking for a digital detox and to get away from the stresses and strains of modern life. We try hard to be gentle on this beautiful place we call home, and the site is designed to be low impact on the environment with it’s own spring water, composting toilets and willow banks. All lighting is solar or via rechargeable batteries and eco-friendly washing products are provided. All the camps have a luxurious feeling despite feeling completely cut off from the outside world, with proper beds with comfy mattresses and their own hot showers; luxury bedding and fluffy towels are provided. Each camp has been handbuilt entirely by us from scratch from things that are recycled, found, car booted, made, upcycled, saved or rescued. Some things are on their third or even fourth life on the farm. Look out for the details, expect the unexpected, this is not glamping by numbers. Nothing says glamping to us like a real fire at the end of the day, toasting marshmallows, sharing stories and putting the day to rest. Each camp has a firepit for you to do just this. There is very little mobile reception in many places on the farm and we wholeheartedly recommend you take this as an opportunity to leave your phone with the rest of the modern world behind for your stay and remember what it is to live a little bit wild.
