Spring in the United Kingdom doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. As soon as winter is in the rear-view mirror, spring transforms the countryside into a canvas of vibrant colours, dazzling sights, and an appreciation for the scenic beauty and landmarks that encompass the tucked-away corners of the UK.
With summer still some months away, spring is arguably the perfect season to experience the great outdoors without compromising heavily on comfort or style. As the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and the sun breaks through that cloud more frequently, a spring getaway in the UK is enticing for many.
Whether you’re planning a full week off with the family during half-term or the Easter holidays, or a quick last-minute long weekend getaway, luxury camping (or ‘glamping’ as it’s commonly known) can be an enriching, cost-effective and convenient option before the summertime rush – here are some of the prettiest glamping spots in the UK.
The appeal of glamping in 2025
Luxury camping and glamping have become incredibly popular across Britain, redefining how we experience and connect with nature while relishing modern comforts and amenities that are easy to take for granted. At Evan Evans Tours, we’d be the first to tell you how stunning some parts of the UK are, offering you the chance to get away from life’s stresses and immerse yourselves in anything from converted shepherd’s huts to safari-style lodges.
For those perusing extended breaks in one or some of the UK’s many exquisite and stunning glamping spots, hitting the open road in a new or converted VW campervan gives you that truly home-from-home experience while letting yourselves and your minds roam free in the sightly and picturesque UK countryside.
With that in mind, let’s get excited and explore some of the most awe-inspiring and charming getaways for glamping enthusiasts with a thirst for seeing the natural beauty the UK has to offer.
Stunning UK glamping spots to visit
Luna Domes at Hoath House, Kent
Nestled in the tranquil countryside in the ‘Garden of England’, these spectacular geodesic domes offer a perfect blend of luxury and nature.
Each dome features panoramic windows that are perfect for stargazing and watching spring unfold from the comfort of a bed or their private decked area. The location is particularly magical in spring when the surrounding woodland floor becomes carpeted with bluebells, which are stunning to see as the sun rises with your morning coffee.
Situated just an hour from London, this spot makes an ideal base for exploring the region’s historic sites and gardens. Visitors can easily combine their stay with a trip to Dover Castle, Rochester and the White Cliffs, which we at Evan Evans Tours strongly recommend if you’re in London and want to see what this region of the UK offers in spades.
Wild Woodland Retreat, Kent Downs
These beautifully crafted shepherd’s huts in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) offer a secluded escape that’s particularly enchanting during the spring. Each hut sits on a working farm, providing guests with front-row seats to lambing season and the emergence of spring wildlife.
The location proves perfect for those wanting to combine rural serenity and repose with cultural exploration – the nearby city of Canterbury, with its world-famous cathedral and mediaeval streets, is full of things to do on a day out.
Wheatfields Luxury Glamping, East Sussex
Just fifteen minutes from the iconic Camber Sands, this site’s luxury safari tents offer a coastal glamping experience with a difference. The mild spring temperatures and atmosphere are perfect for beach walks and wildlife spotting in the nearby nature reserves.
The site’s proximity to historic Rye makes it an excellent base for exploring the south coast, with easy access to the vibrant city of Brighton and its lively beach, which is no doubt quieter during the comparatively cooler spring months.
The Coop, Essex
This cosy cabin, set within a 200-acre working farm just an hour from London, offers an intimate escape perfect for nature enthusiasts.
Spring visitors can enjoy the spectacle of wildflower meadows coming to life while staying warm and comfortable in this thoughtfully designed space. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding beauty of Colemans Farm, with ancient farmland, brooks and hedgerows a mere stone’s throw away.
Pococksgate Farm
This delightful shepherd’s hut, set among beautiful countryside on farmland just outside Frant village in East Sussex, offers a front-row seat to rural spring life. The private and secluded setting comes alive in spring with lambs in the neighbouring fields and wildflowers dotting the meadows.
Its strategic location puts visitors within easy reach of Royal Tunbridge Wells and its magnificent spring gardens, offering a perfect landscape of greenery and blooming flowers, bringing colour to the natural picturesque surroundings.
Owl’s Roost, the Quantocks
This charming, modernised shepherd’s hut sits neatly on a smallholding surrounded by six acres of beautiful, endlessly green Somerset countryside.
Boasting a spacious and comfortable living area and an on-site hot tub, Owl’s Roost offers more than a serene retreat. Neighbouring Quantock Hills provides a perfect spot for a bike ride or a quick stop at one of the many market villages or even the seaside town of Bridgwater.
Glampers looking for an extended stay could pay the nearby bustling cities of Bristol or Bath a visit, with the latter being one of Evan Evans Tours’ frequented tour stops.
