If you’ve always wanted to answer the call of the wild but the thought of pitching a tent makes you want to run for the hills, glamping is a compromise with comfort! Take a look at some of our favourite glamping experiences and get out there this summer. There’s never been a better time to take advantage of the beautiful spaces right on your doorstep.

Let's Go Hydro

Ranging in shape and size from glamping pods and safari lodges to floating luxury boathouses, Let’s Go Hydro offers accommodation for groups of one to 200 and they can easily create group packages to suit everyone’s needs.

The Jungle NI

Set in beautiful woodlands, and nestled among the Sperrin Mountains, The Jungle NI truly is an escape from the city.

With glamping pods available for couples, families, stag and hen parties, or corporate getaways, you’ll be guaranteed a great night’s sleep after a day of play. If you want even more luxury and comfort, the quirky cabins, playfully named the Chicken Coop and the Beehive, offer rustic charm plus a firepit and BBQ. Imagine sliding open the French doors, with a coffee in hand, and firing up the grill for a breakfast with a difference.
