Glamping is a concept that is spreading at a very high rate throughout the UK. With more people than ever before considering starting a glamping business, we thought we would take some time to consider how much money a glamping business actually makes. We have already established that glamping is well and truly here to stay. Now we take a deep dive into the financial aspects, considering the income and outgoings of glamping sites. As we design and own glamping sites, we would like to think we are best placed to complete this analysis.

Glamping is so popular that demand far outweighs supply. It can be seen from the the graph above that glamping has grown in popularity year on year, this is a good indication that glamping businesses could make a reasonable amount of money. Location is important when it comes to making money from a glamping business. As can be seen in the information below, if you’re anywhere in the UK or Ireland you should do well.
Anyone who knows about business, knows cashflow is the most important thing! We will only look at cashflow in very high level at this moment in time, however for further analysis into cashflow at your proposed site specifically, have a look at our glamping feasibility study.
Going by the above examples, a site can cost from £250-500 per month to run and takes in £750-4000 per month depending on seasonality. This leaves us with a monthly cashflow (when at highest expense) of £3500 per pod per month during the 7 months of high season. If a site had 6 pods for example, it would cashflow around £21,000 per month in these high months. That is £147,000 in profit for half the year alone, meaning the site could close the rest of the year and still make fantastic money year round.
