What started as a small community of like-minded landowners and nature enthusiasts has grown into one of the UK's leading woodland glamping networks. Since 2017, Woodland Champions Club has been helping people reconnect with nature through unique woodland escapes while supporting reforestation, biodiversity, and responsible land stewardship.
Each year, we welcome new woodland glamping sites across England, Scotland, and Wales, creating unforgettable nature-based stays and planting the foundations for a greener future—one glampsite, one tree, and one guest at a time.
Founded in 2017, Woodland Champions Club was established to help landowners create and operate sustainable woodland glamping sites under glamping exemption certificates. Our network offers guests the opportunity to enjoy carefully curated nature retreats while directly contributing to woodland creation and environmental conservation.
As a Natural England-approved exempted organisation, we work closely with landowners to deliver low-impact glamping experiences that benefit both people and the planet. Through the glamping exemption scheme, we make it possible for qualifying landowners to open small-scale glamping sites without the complexities of full planning permission, helping more woodland spaces become accessible for responsible tourism.
Our growing collection of woodland glamping sites offers something for every type of escape, including:
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, family adventure, digital detox, or weekend escape with your dog, you'll find distinctive stays designed to help you slow down and reconnect.
Together with our members, guests, and landowners, we've already achieved:
These community-led giveaways not only showcase some of the UK's most beautiful glamping stays but also help support important charitable causes, creating positive impact beyond the woodland itself.
The UK currently has around 13% woodland cover, significantly below the European average of 37%. Expanding our woodlands helps to:
A single mature oak tree can support more than 2,300 species, demonstrating the extraordinary value of healthy woodland ecosystems.
As the UK works towards ambitious woodland creation targets, woodland glamping offers a practical and sustainable way to support reforestation while helping people build a deeper connection with nature.
If you're a landowner looking to diversify your land, create an additional income stream, or develop a nature-focused tourism business, we'd love to hear from you.
Our team provides guidance on obtaining a glamping exemption certificate, planning your site, and joining a trusted nationwide network of woodland glampsite owners.
From shepherd's huts and cosy cabins to yurts, hot tub retreats, outdoor bath experiences, container stays, and dog-friendly escapes, we'll help you create a glampsite that reflects both your land and your vision.
