From bell tent getaways and adult-only glamping to luxury yurt retreats and romantic woodland sites.
If you love returning to a few home comforts after a day in the wilds, why not leave the backpack camping to others and book yourself some glamping in Dartmoor? You can still enjoy the wild side of the national park by hiking, climbing, running, cycling, and kayaking to your heart’s content during the day but get to settle down in comfy accommodation at night. With glamping there’s no time wasted setting up tents, as someone else will have done it for you. Safari tents, yurts, and bell tents are all options on today’s glamping scene, but there are also more solid options, including shepherd's huts and glamping pods. These should offer a little more protection from the notoriously changeable weather of Dartmoor and a cosy place to hide away out of the summer months too.
Glamping is also great for families with young kids, who might struggle to pitch a tent with toddlers in tow, and for those who want to try camping for the first time. With candles, campfires, and cosy living, it can also make a romantic getaway for two. And if you really want to push the boat out, choose some truly glamorous camping at a spot with luxurious touches—en suite bathrooms, fluffy robes, and perhaps even a private hot tub.
