Who is Glamping for?
Families
Imagine staying in a beautifully decorated yurt that has all the comforts of home but is nestled right in the heart of nature. Kids will love exploring the woods and spotting wildlife, and there’s something magical about waking up to the sound of birds singing. You can spend your days hiking around the National park and evenings roasting marshmallows and telling stories around the campfire.
Most sites have plenty of amenities, making it feel like a real adventure for the kids, yet you won’t have to sacrifice comfort. Having a cozy bed to return to after a day of activities is such a relief, and the yurt’s decor makes it feel like a little haven.
Couples
Glamping in Wicklow is the perfect getaway for couple looking for unique and romantic escapes. It’s a blend of romance, adventure, and relaxation that you just can’t find in a standard hotel.
Settings like Yurts or even Caravanes, surrounded by serene landscapes, away from everyone, are incredibly romantic and a private paradise for couples.
Each morning, you will wake up to stunning views and the peaceful sounds of nature. And in the evening, you can enjoy stargazing by a cozy campfire. Not mentioning the rustic charm of the glamping accommodations, which have all the comforts you may need but with a unique, cozy twist that made the experience special and unforgettable.
During the day, you can go explore the scenic trails, read a book or go cycling around. The walks in Wicklow are beautiful. For extra romance, head to the lough Ouler, Ireland’s unique heart shape lake!
