Two Norfolk glamping businesses have been featured in a recent national list highlighting the UK’s most stylish camping alternatives.
The Times published its selection of 26 luxury camping and glamping destinations earlier this month, placing Wild Luxury, near Thornham, and Westgate Farm, in Walsingham, among the top sites.
According to the article, Wild Luxury is “practically perfect” for outdoors-focused breaks, offering “easy access” to the beaches along the north Norfolk coast.
The business operates two sites, each providing smart, spacious safari lodges that can accommodate between six and 10 people. Prices for two nights of self-catering accommodation for six guests begin at £691.
Westgate Farm was also recognised, with the publication noting its safari tent accommodations located on a 350-acre plot.
The site was described as being “a short drive from north Norfolk’s beaches and tucked into the Stiffkey Valley,” while its “west-facing decks for watching the sunset make them as romantic as can be.”
Rates for two people start at £200 per night on a self-catering basis, according to a report by North Norfolk News.
For operators in the outdoor hospitality industry, the recognition of these Norfolk businesses demonstrates the continued value of positioning glamping as an accessible yet elevated alternative to traditional camping.
Industry observers have noted that the UK’s glamping market has grown steadily in recent years, with demand being driven by travelers seeking experiences that combine comfort with proximity to natural settings.
Placement in high-profile national publications such as The Times can provide valuable visibility for operators and may influence traveler perception of glamping as a mainstream leisure option.
With the 2025 travel season underway, this recognition may encourage other glamping operators to consider how design, location, and amenities contribute to guest appeal and media attention.
For business owners, investments in distinctive accommodation styles and curated guest experiences can help align properties with consumer expectations in a competitive market.
