Starting a glamping business can be daunting, we should know as we’ve done it! We’ve created these resources to help.
Like starting any business, there are many steps to starting a glamping business. Many you can do by yourself (and some need expert help), alternatively you might want all of it to be managed by experts. Download our guide to see what's needed.
Many people don't realise how much is involved in getting planning permission for a glamping site, especially if it's your first glamping site. We've put together a blog so you can see if your site needs planning permission to get started.
Before you've even started with glamping site design and planning you might already be thinking about your guests. In our experience you're right to make early moves to line up your marketing and bookings. We can help advise you on the best fit for you, we can even manage all of this for you.
You might be thinking that a large investment is required to start a glamping business. That isn't true for everyone. There are financing options available for glamping site owners that prove a wise return on investment, click below to learn more.
We didn’t thinking we could cover everything on the website, or even on 100 blogs! We’ve broken the essentials down into steps so that landowners and entreprenuers alike can digest and follow them to start a glamping business. If you’re already on that journey, make sure you don’t miss anything by downloading this guide today.
Starting a glamping business has 9 distinct steps, split into groups of 3.
The first group is the planning stage, the second is the build stage and the third is the online stage. There is also 1 pre-start step – the feasibility study.
