The best tents to buy for glamping businesses

For businesses looking to create the best glamping experience, choosing the right tents is essential to ensure your guests enjoy their stay and recommend the experience. Campers are searching for a comfortable, premium stay and picturesque setups, all whilst enjoying amenities that elevate their experience.

To ensure those all-important bookings, you need to determine the best tents to buy for your glamping business. In this blog, we’ll explore our top picks and which companies they suit the most. 

Here at Boutique Camping, we offer trade deals and discounts for glamping businesses so you can buy tents in bulk at the right price for you. 

1. Bell tents

Bell tents are an iconic, ever-popular option and offer spacious interiors for a wide range of glamping possibilities. The central pole and high ceilings allow for extra headroom and furniture space inside, allowing your guests to spread out and enjoy morning stretches without hitting the canvas. 

Whether you offer year-round glamping or seasonal accommodation, bell tents are easy to pitch thanks to the singular pole and are sturdy enough once secured to last even in wet and windy conditions. 

Choosing the right bell tent for your site

With so many bell tent options to choose from for your glamping business, it’s important to know which is best suited to your vision and needs:

• Material: Heavy-duty cotton canvas is ideal for all-year use and offers breathability and longevity. Poly-cotton blends are lighter and often cheaper, but they can also be less durable, so this option is more suited to summer months.

• Size: Bell tents come in a range of sizes, and if you aim to host parties of all sizes, you’ll need a variety of tents. 3m bell tents are perfect for solo campers, whilst 5m bell tents are ideal for groups of around 5 or 2 to 3 guests with a brilliant range of furnishings like proper double beds, dining facilities and lounging areas.  

• Add-ons and protection: You may want to create porches for your campers or sheltered picnic spots. In which case, you’ll need to consider additional awnings for outdoor use. 

2. Inflatable tents 

Inflatable tents are brilliant for fast pitching and are ideal for glamping sites that provide all amenities and tents, but allow all guests to set up themselves. Inflatable tents don’t contain any poles, making them easy to transport and pitch with a manual or electronic pump. 

If your company centres around weekend events like festivals or retreats, or you have a large plot of land that allows free camping, inflatable tents are a useful resource. You can give your guests the freedom to pitch where they want or set up dedicated pre-pitched accommodation spots.

There is a wide range of sizes and styles of inflatable tents, like our specially designed inflatable Stellar festival tent, which maximise space in busy fields but increase headroom and space for campers and their essentials.  

3. Multidoor tents 

Many glamping businesses choose to host events like weddings or parties, and with these large-scale events comes the need for versatile spaces. If you’re one of these businesses, large-scale tents and multi-door tents can prove practical accommodation. 

These tents are ideal when many guests are filtering in and out of a space and need easy access points. For festivals where campers come and go as they please, to wedding receptions where guests mingle and mix in and around the grounds, a multi-door bell tent greatly improves logistics.  

For big occasions, you’ll want enough space to set up proper dining tables, lounging spaces and spots to sing and dance. An 8m bell tent offers a huge amount of floor space and high ceilings to suit any venture and can sleep a whopping 22 people.

4. Yurt tents

If you’re looking to create a luxury feel and create a premium glampsite, a yurt tent is a top choice. Modern yurts offer a twist on a traditional style and offer no stoop walls, and additional ceiling height to create a lavish space fit for families and friends seeking indulgence on their camping break. 

Our Luna Bell Tents are the perfect yurt option to upgrade into a stylish retreat. These dome-like structures offer a brilliant interior space full of potential to create striking interiors with plush furnishings, cosy beds and lounging spots.

For a lush, homely feel, you can purchase fire retardant Luna bell tents with windows and dedicated chimney holes to allow for wood-burning stoves inside. For year-round sites, this elevates your accommodation into a cosy, classy space where guests can unwind by the fire and whip up their own meals from scratch. 

Premium amenities and accommodation also allow you to charge higher nightly rates and ensure you can provide everything to satisfy your customers and stay on top of new glamping trends. 

Top tips for choosing the right tents

• Think about the longevity of your tent - You want to invest in quality accommodation that lasts several seasons, so consider the material and weather protection elements of your chosen tent. 

• Prioritise customer comfort - Consider aspects like cushioned flooring, insulation, windows for ventilation and natural light, etc. These will all help customers leave positive reviews. 

• Consider utilities and facilities - Decide if you want to provide shower or cooking facilities. If so, you need tents that can handle water and indoor stoves. 

• Creating the right atmosphere - Do you want to create a trendy, picture-perfect camping spot? The right style of tents and aesthetic can make all the difference in creating a popular campsite. 

• Buy tents in bulk - Premium suppliers like us here at Boutique Camping offer discounts on bulk trade orders for businesses. This means you can kit out your campsite whilst saving some money too!
