The weather might’ve taken a turn for the colder side, but that doesn’t mean that you need to abandon your winter glamping North Wales holiday. Going on a glamping holiday in the winter can be just as fun as any other season.

Glamorous camping or ‘glamping’ is a way to enjoy getting out into nature without having to give up some little modern luxuries that make life a little bit more comfortable. Glamping holidays give you the chance to immerse yourself in unique and beautiful locations, while holding onto some creature comforts. For those who are averse to ‘roughing it’, glamping North Wales offers an alternative to the traditional camping holiday that everyone can enjoy. 

How to Go Glamping in the Winter

Going on a glamping holiday is anything but rustic (and cold) – glamping in the winter means having a cosy and warm place to sleep, even if it’s snowing outside. When you choose to go glamping in the winter rather than in the summer, you are avoiding huge crowds of enthusiastic warm-weather campers. 

In the Spring, Summer and Autumn months, campsites get booked up quickly; swapping to a winter glamping holiday could be the trick to avoiding the crowds. Picture this, you spend your day hiking and exploring nature in the crisp and cool air. Then, when the sun sets, instead of going back to a cold, possibly soggy tent; you have a soft, warm and cosy bed to come back to. 

Top Advice for Winter Glamping

Over the past few years, as staycations have gotten more popular than ever before – the craze around glamping has steadily risen in popularity too. With hardcore glamping fans always inventing more ways in which to make the overall experience more glamorous, more comfortable and even posher! 

While the thought of going on a traditional winter camping holiday might sound like your idea of a freezing cold nightmare, glamping in the winter is the complete opposite. The goal of a glamping holiday is to ensure that you’re warm, snug and have access to all the necessities that you’ll need to make your winter holiday amazing. 

Keeping this in mind, you can stack the odds for a lovely winter glamping holiday in your favour, planning ahead and packing strategically for your trip will help to make sure your holiday is relaxing, cosy and super fun. Here are some glamping essentials:

• Comfy items: when you’ve previously gone on camping holidays you might have had to leave behind items that you don’t want to get dirty. Glamping holidays let you go wild – bring those snuggly pillows, fuzzy socks, or even a heated blanket; pack anything that will make your winter nights a little bit cosier. 
• Lighting: this is an essential for a glamping trip; although your accommodation (whether it’s a tee-pee, yurt, treehouse or shepherd’s hut) should have working electricity, bringing along some additional mood lighting won’t hurt. LED candles are a perfect alternative to traditional candles if you can’t/don’t want to risk an open flame. String fairy lights also work like a charm for this. 
• Food: all camping/glamping trips require a good selection of camping friendly foods, but you should aim for a bit more luxury with a glamping trip. Bring all the ingredients for making epic hot chocolates, and definitely still include a huge packet of marshmallows. 
• Entertainment: plan to spend some time together doing the things you never have time for at home. Play board games, sing, read, or plan some fun activities in the local area that you’ll all enjoy.
