Glamping & luxury campsites

Glamping is camping with the comfort of a hotel: you sleep surrounded by nature, but in a ready-to-go accommodation with real beds, a private bathroom and often a kitchenette and terrace. There is no tent to pitch and no airbed to inflate; everything is set up when you arrive. That makes glamping ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors, the campfire feeling and the freedom of a campsite, but does not want to give up on convenience. Families with young children, couples after a weekend away and travellers without camping gear all choose it on purpose. On Ovisola you will find luxury campsites and glamping accommodations across Europe on the map, so you can see at a glance where you can stay comfortably in the open air. You compare by accommodation type, amenities and reviews, and book directly with the provider offering the best deal.

When choosing, pay close attention to the type of accommodation, because the word glamping covers a lot of ground. Common forms include the furnished safari tent, the lodge or lodge tent, the (tree)house, the chalet, the yurt and the fully equipped luxury mobile home. They differ greatly in space, atmosphere and price. Also look at the comfort level: do you get real beds with a proper mattress, a private bathroom with shower and toilet, a fitted kitchen and your own terrace or veranda? That decides whether it is true glamping or simply an upgraded camping pitch. On Ovisola you can filter precisely by accommodation type and by amenities such as a swimming pool, restaurant, family-friendliness and a location near the sea or a lake. Reviews from multiple sources help you weigh the quality before you book. That way you compare like with like and pick a place that suits your group, your budget and the atmosphere you are after.

Glamping can be found all over Europe, but some destinations stand out. France is a classic, with countless campsites offering luxury safari tents and lodges, often with a swimming pool and close to the coast or nature. Italy blends glamping with culture and scenery: around Lake Garda and in Tuscany you will find charming parks set among vineyards, hills and olive groves. Croatia scores highly thanks to upmarket tented camps right on the Adriatic coast, with clear water and pine woods within walking distance. And you do not have to travel far: the Netherlands has a fast-growing offer too, from glamping on the Veluwe and in Zeeland to the Wadden coast, perfect for a weekend without a long drive. Each region has its own character, from Mediterranean sun to Northern European calm. On the Ovisola map you can see, country by country and region by region, which luxury campsites exist and what they offer.

The high season for glamping runs roughly from May to September, with the summer months as the busiest and sunniest period; the shoulder seasons are quieter and often better value. Popular lodges and safari tents in sought-after spots book up fast, so reserve well in advance, especially around school holidays. Keep in mind that glamping is usually more expensive than a bare camping pitch, because you pay for a furnished, comfortable accommodation; as a rough indication, expect a rate closer to a holiday cottage than to a tent pitch, with big differences by country, season and level of luxury. Always check the current price and availability with the provider itself. Ready to start searching?
