Top glamping experiences
Jollydays, Scrayingham, nr York
"The Ritz in a tent." Get back to nature in comfort. The luxury bespoke canvas lodges are kitted out with wooden floors, rugs, chandeliers, fireside sofas, wood burners, toilets and baths or showers. Enjoy the great outdoors, explore the 200 acres of woodland, then retire - to your four-poster bed.
La Rosa, Goathland, North Yorkshire
Campsite extraordinaire. A magical 20 acre site in the heart of the North York Moors. Everything is designed to be eco-friendly, so there's not only compost loos and showers in the converted byre, but also an outdoor roll-top bath and candles and fairylights. The vintage and classic caravans are filled with fantastic kitsch objects lovingly collected to entertain and amuse.
Humble Bee Farm, Flixton, nr Scarborough
Set up camp in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds without the bother of pitching your tent! Humble Bee Farm's unique heated wigwams have their own mattresses, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and barbeque for the true outdoor experience.
Enjoy the fresh, local produce from the farm shop and eggs from the Humble Bee chicken houses whilst your children enjoy the freedom of living on a 320-acre working farm.
P.S. If you fancy something rather more luxurious, check out their cottages.
Pinewood Holiday Park, Scarborough
Your tipi awaits on this small family-run site. Some of the tipis are on wooden decks and are surprisingly roomy. The larger ones have wood burning stoves which keep them cosy and warm on cooler nights, and come complete with a full size futon bed and fold-out cube beds.
Fantastic location, surrounded by glorious open countryside, but within walking distance of Scarborough's seaside delights. Conventional camping and caravanning here too.
Forest Holidays - Keldy Cabins, Cropton, nr Pickering
A real forest holiday needn't mean a cramped and soggy experience under canvas. How about a tree house? Deep in the heart of the Keldy Forest nestle wonderful family cabins, and the crème de la crème are the luxurious en-suite tree house extensions, attached by an adventurer's bridge to some of the main cabins. There's heaps of activities on site, from ranger activities to pony trekking and kayaking.
