9 Glamping Getaways for Groups

Written by Ed Maughan

Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a brilliant year for a group glamping break in the UK. Whether you’re planning a big family weekend, a birthday gathering, a relaxed hen do or a few days away with friends, glamping gives you the best bits of camping without everyone having to wrestle with poles, pegs and soggy sleeping bags.

Across the UK, you’ll find group-friendly glamping sites with safari tents, cosy pods, yurts, cabins and lodges, often set in countryside locations close to walking trails, beaches, market towns and national parks. Safari tents are ideal for groups who want proper beds, sociable living space and that classic canvas-under-the-stars feel. Glamping pods are a great choice for smaller groups, couples within a larger party, or anyone who wants a simple, warm and comfortable base after a day outdoors.

Many glamping sites also come with the extras that make a summer trip feel special: fire pits, hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, private fields, lake views and space for children and dogs to run around. Some sites can be hired exclusively too, giving your group more privacy and flexibility.

From coastal escapes in Cornwall and Wales to countryside retreats in the Brecon Beacons, Lake District, Devon and Scotland, our UK glamping collection brings together places made for memorable summer 2026 group stays.
