Spring in the United Kingdom doesnât 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 the clouds more frequently, a spring getaway in the UK is enticing for many.Â
Whether youâre 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 âglampingâ as itâs 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
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, weâd be the first to tell you how stunning some parts of the UK are, offering you the chance to get away from lifeâs stresses and immerse yourself in anything from converted shepherdâs huts to safari-style lodges.Â
For those perusing extended breaks in one or some of the UKâs 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 scenic and picturesque UK countryside.
With that in mind, letâs 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.
Luna Domes at Hoath House, Kent
Nestled in the tranquil countryside in the âGarden of Englandâ, 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 youâre 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 â the nearby city of Canterbury, with its world-famous cathedral and medieval 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 stoneâs throw away.
Pococksgate Farm, East Sussex
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.
Owlâs Roost, the Quantocks
This charming, modernised shepherdâs 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, Owlâs Roost offers more than a serene retreat. The neighbouring Quantock Hills provide 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.
Coniston Park Coppice, Lake District
For those looking for a holiday on a budget, Coniston Park Coppice offers the beauty of the Lake District on your doorstep with a bit of comfort thrown in.
The basic camping pod includes a bed, lighting and plug sockets, and you can upgrade to a luxury pod with an ensuite bathroom. Pods are usually cheaper, but the Lake District is always dearer due to its popularity.
Puckshipton Treehouse, Wiltshire
If you can afford to spend a little more, why not relive your childhood dream of spending a night in a treehouse? Puckshipton Treehouse in Wiltshire is truly worth the money. It is not just a night away but a whole experience of getting back to nature (without the mud!).
With a toilet and cooking tent on the ground floor, you are never too far from convenient amenities. The magic of walking across a fluted bridge to get to your room takes glamping to a whole new level.
The Tree Cabin, Yorkshire
The Tree Cabin in West Yorkshire is a wonderful alternative to a tent. Held up in the trees, the pod includes a balcony overlooking a breathtaking lake â perfection. It’s a wonderful combination of seclusion and amenities with a king-sized bed, breakfast essentials with a flushing toilet and hand basin fed with pure spring water.
Lochranza Campsite, North Ayrshire
If you want cheap and cheerful, then there are plenty of campsites dotted around the UK that are perfect for you. For example, Lochranza Campsite in Brodick, North Ayrshire, offers a camping pod with a heater, a double bed, and electricity. This pod is a cosy, waterproof alternative to hauling your camping gear around.
Moonlight Yurt, Wales
The Moonlight Yurt in Llanthony has a hot tub, a private shower and a kitchen for those who love their creature comforts. The yurt is beautiful and romantic inside, with a deep red tapestry that would look like home in a London Hotel. Located next to the wild Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons National Park, it boasts stunning views outside and a beautiful river nearby. The Beacons themselves are a dark sky reserve, meaning your night sky will be filled with stars.
Glampers looking for an extended stay could pay the nearby bustling cities of Bristol or Bath a visitâ, with the latter being one of Evan Evans Toursâ frequented tour stops.
