Glamping in Hampshire

The home of Jane Austen and Downton Abbey, Hampshire County in South East England is a terrific area for memorable glamping escapes. The wild, free-roaming ponies of New Forest National Park are a symbol of the region’s untamed beauty. Nearby, South Downs National Park stretches out over chalk downlands and offers the South Downs Way hiking and cycling route. The Test and Itchen rivers promise serene fishing and kayaking opportunities too. Glamping choices near the parks abound, like glamping pods with queen beds and heating in Petersfield, luxury yurts with ensuite bathrooms and comfy interiors in Emsworth, and vintage-looking shepherd’s huts all through Hampshire—some with wifi, firepits, and picnic tables. Campers can even find a glamping spot in Hampshire with a hot tub to relax in after a day of exploring the landscapes. Late spring to early autumn ensure warm days and starlit nights for happy glampers. Plus, the Winchester Hat Fair in July and Hampshire Harvest Festival in August are popular events that anchor an escape to the region.
