The Essential Glamping Business Manual

The Essential Glamping Business Manual is a comprehensive guide to setting up and running a successful glamping business. In our fourth Edition we reveal our most comprehensive industry research to date, covering the size and scope of the sector, detailed information on nightly rates and emerging trends, and how this may affect new and existing operators. This research informs our up-to-date business modelling which is an invaluable tool for assessing which structures are right for your site and potential returns on investment. The manual covers all the practicalities from developing a retreat to site design, marketing, and managing your business. This step-by-step guide has been designed specifically for farms, estates, landowners, and developers in the UK.

Crown & Canopy were approached by The National Trust in 2018 to develop a manual for their farm and estate managers on how to diversify into the emerging world of glamping. It soon became clear that this document would be an invaluable tool for others, and so the Essential Glamping Business Manual was born.

Over the past few years, we have updated the manual in response to market trends, events of the past four years and our annual industry research. For this, our fourth edition, we have teamed up with International Glamping Business to publish our extensive research into the total number of units in every region and across the UK, average nightly rates for the different structure types and insights into trends such as outdoor bathing and pets. This research gives a unique insight into the size and scope of the UK glamping market and can help the reader make informed decisions on how and where to develop.

The core manual guides the reader through setting up a site, from services, infrastructure, and design to guidance on the planning process as well as key elements such as taxation, insurance, and regulations. The business modelling section uses up to date research to define average nightly rates, investment costs, ongoing maintenance costs and estimated yearly net profits from each style of unit type, detailed for different occupancy rates for the most common structure types. This information can be used to create cash flow forecasts and projected returns for business plans, planning and grant applications.
