Glamping near Gillingham

·

Glamping in Gillingham puts you right in the heart of Kent’s rolling fields and ancient woodland, with over 270 unique options tailored to those who want comfort without ditching the outdoors. Forget pitching a tent in the mud—think bell tents with real beds, wood-burning stoves, and hot showers. The local scene leans practical: you’ll find campsites with wifi, proper showers, and campfires allowed, so you can toast marshmallows after a day out. Surf the coast, cast a line for carp or perch, or simply spot deer and owls from your deck chair. Top picks like The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Tomkins Farm (87 reviews), and Beech Estate Campsite (67 reviews) get high marks from locals and travellers alike for their blend of rural quiet and solid facilities. Prices range widely—some glampsites start as low as £60 a night, with the average hovering around £125. Book early if you want a spot near the woods or fishing lakes; the best pitches go fast, especially on weekends.
