Is glamping expensive?

It is difficult or impossible to give a flat-rate price for glamping. There are countless different types of glamping accommodation as well as glamping sites or resorts, and they all differ in many factors that significantly affect the price.

Size and furnishing

Glamping accommodations obviously come in different sizes and designs, which strongly affect the price. If you are looking for something for the entire family, you will want to choose a larger glamping accommodation that is usually more expensive than a small glamping accommodation. Furthermore, the price depends on what type of glamping accommodation you go for. A resort with simple glamping tents may be cheaper than one with high-quality, sustainable, and/or exceptional accommodations like glamping pods and treehouses.

Level of luxury

The level of luxury is another factor affecting pricing. If you, for example, opt for a resort with communal sanitary facilities instead of a glamping tent with shower and toilet, the price can go down significantly. On the other hand, there are many glamping accommodations that have luxurious and unique amenities that come with their own price tag. Another option are glamping holidays with all-inclusive packages and a number additional services, such as pools, included breakfast or the like, which can cost a small fortune.

Since the pricing also depends on the season, it is worth considering travelling outside high season, namely in the low season.

Depending on country

In Europe, the prices for glamping accommodation vary from country to country. While some cheaper glamping sites can be found in Croatia, Italy, Austria, Germany and Spain, countries such as Switzerland, France and Sweden are generally considered expensive destinations within Europe. However, the exact region as well as the glamping site's location is important.

Glamping is the perfect combination of a camping holiday and a stay in a hotel – allowing you to enjoy the proximity to nature as you know it from a camping holiday and the comfort that comes with a hotel stay.

However, glamping accommodations are not always luxury tents, but can also be tree houses, camper vans, caravans, safari tents or lodge tents. The pitches are often surrounded by nature, in unspoilt places such as stunning beaches, forests or mountains. The proximity to nature and tranquility are typical of glamping, clearly distinguishing it from classic holidays spent in a hotel.

As opposed to camping, glamping tents come fully equipped with all the important utensils. As a result, you don't have to buy expensive camping equipment, which means it's easier on the wallet. Glamping accommodation usually comes with its own bathroom, bed and electricity, thus ensuring incredible comfort.

If you don't want to forgo some glamour, but at the same time don't want to spend too much money on glamping holidays, there are some ways to save money.

When it comes to glamping, you can usually enjoy your private kitchen. Cooking together is not only a lot of fun, but also a lot cheaper than eating out every day, especially when you have the entire family with you.
