ROUND-UPS

The five glamping types - which one are you?

Published 14th April 2026

As Sigmund Freud (probably) once said, you can tell a lot about someone from the type glamping stay they choose.

There are five glamping styles to match five personality types. Find out which one you are - and discover your perfect getaway.

1. The Adventurer

You're smart, curious and a free spirit. You love new experiences and you're always chasing something a bit different. You probably can't sit still for very long. Your ideal stay is somewhere unusual and interesting, in a wild location. See our best stays for adventurers.

2. The Perfectionist

You're discerning, decisive and you like to plan ahead. You love your creature comforts and value attention to detail - so anywhere you stay has to be just right. Your perfect glamping getaway is a well-thought out space, with a little bit of luxury. Take a look at our handpicked places for perfectionists.

3. The Socialiser

You're fun, generous and always put friends and family first. Travel is about connection as much as destination for you, and your ideal glamping getaway is a group stay with shared social spaces for evenings round the camp fire. See the best stays for socialisers.

4. The Romantic

You're thoughtful, kind and wear your heart on your sleeve. Nothing's too much trouble for those you love. Your ideal stay is all about spending time together and a cosy, magical atmosphere. We've found the perfect places for romantics.

5. The Escapist

You're laid-back and chilled-out. Peace is your priority and you love a bit of alone time. The perfect glamping stay for you is somewhere remote and low-key, with less noise and more nature, where you can properly switch-off. Check out the ideal getaways for escapists.
