Glamping in South Downs National Park guide

Overview

If tent camping appeals but sounds a little too much like hard work, how about glamping in the South Downs National Park instead? We love glamping in the South Downs! In fact, we just love the South Downs in general. The green, rolling hills, the epic views, the picturesque villages that break it all up and some of the best walking and mountain-biking in the south of England, it's a fantastic place to get outdoors and whatever the time of year we can think of few better places to be. Wonderfully accessible to the majority of the UK population, the South Downs is a real glamping hub and remains one of the most popular glamping destinations in the UK, whilst still retaining a sense of peace, quiet, and tranquility. Whether your perching yourself in a pod during the winter months or fancy a summer holiday glamping in a bell tent or canvas structure, you've come to the right place.

It’s the perfect way to experience the outdoor life without the hassle of actually pitching a tent—and if you haven’t got your own camping kit, it offers a comfortable solution. The South Downs and surrounding areas in Hampshire and Sussex, offer plenty of glamping opportunities with every type of accommodation imaginable. You can choose to stay in a pre-erected bell tent, yurt or safari tent or opt for something more solid like a shepherd’s hut, gypsy caravan or cabin. Then there are the truly quirky options; we’ve seen them all and stayed in them all. Today’s glamping scene includes incredible treehouses, imaginatively converted vehicles, and one-off constructions that have to be seen to be believed.

About

Whether it's a tipi, bell tent, yurt or pod, get outdoors in the South Downs with this incredible collection of glamping sites in the national park, all chosen by the authors of best-selling guidebook Glamping Getaways.
