With the summer season approaching, many UK holidaymakers are preparing for camping getaways, and new data from Campsites.co.uk offers guidance on some of the top destinations.
The site released its 2025 “Outstanding Sites” list, showcasing 150 of the best-rated campsites across the UK. Of those, 36 are located in Wales, reflecting the region’s growing popularity in the outdoor hospitality market.
Among the Welsh entries, Three Streams Glamping in Llanfairfechan has been recognized as a standout destination.
The coastal glamping site sits ten minutes from Penmaenmawr beach and offers panoramic views of the Carneddau mountains and the North Wales coast.
Designed as an adult-only retreat, the site features high-end glamping pods and was named Best Glamping Site North Wales in the 2024 Campsites.co.uk Camping and Glamping Awards.
“We feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Wales,” said the owners of Three Streams Glamping in a statement to Campsites.co.uk. “We are lucky enough to have the best guests and can’t wait to welcome you to our lovely little glamping site.”
The accommodation includes en-suite wooden pods equipped with underfloor heating, Smart TVs, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and private outdoor hot tubs. Self-catering amenities are also provided, including a fridge, microwave, kettle, and crockery.
Each pod sleeps two, targeting couples or pairs of travelers seeking a quiet getaway, according to a report by WalesOnline. The glamping site has received consistent high ratings, with guests highlighting the location’s tranquility, cleanliness, and scenic backdrop.
One guest, Ella S, commented, “We were so blown away at how lovely it is…having BBQs in the evening, relaxing in the hot tub and watching the sun set over the sea.”
Another visitor, Tracey B, noted, “Absolutely fantastic stay couldn’t have asked for more – beautiful surroundings, lovely pod and immaculately clean had everything we needed.”
For business owners in the outdoor hospitality sector, inclusion in curated lists such as Campsites.co.uk’s annual “Outstanding Sites” can have significant implications.
These rankings influence customer decision-making and increase visibility among target markets seeking trusted, high-quality experiences.
Sites recognized for excellence in categories like cleanliness, guest satisfaction, amenities, and location may benefit from higher booking rates and return visitation, especially during peak seasons such as summer holidays.
The announcement also reflects the growing interest in luxury and nature-based experiences, particularly among domestic travelers.
Operators looking to stand out in the competitive UK glamping market may take cues from award-winning businesses like Three Streams Glamping by investing in quality facilities, personal touches, and sustainable site management.
As the 2025 travel season ramps up, visibility in platforms that curate and recognize top-performing accommodations will likely become even more essential for operators aiming to grow bookings and attract new demographics.
