Top 8 Glamping Business Ideas For Beginners [ 2024 ]

[@cinuszek88]

We did No. 4 we bought 250yrs old cottage with 1acre of land... we're living in the forest... we started with campsite last summer... full house... we double the space for this year... + hot tube, renovated old campervan and soon bell tent... finger crossed.

[@KeepItTiny]

Nice work man, I actually think number 4 is the best/smartest option if you can afford it. I think you are going to do even better when your expansion is done

[@GarlandFarms]

How much did you charge for the campsite and how did you market the campsite?

[@bravedream]

Interesting. If campsite is usually in picturesque areas, then large farmland doesn’t fit, right? Farmland is usually not national parks

[@tennesseeterri]

@@bravedream he said 1 acre of forest. Not farmland.

[@Bettys_Eldest]

My band members include an elite level racing cyclist, a sculptor, a historian specialising in WWI, a retired chef and of course musicians. Five years ago we were in negotiations to buy a 14 bed hotel close to my holiday home in Norther France. We planned to run cycling tours, battlefield tours, sculpture, art, cookery and music workshops. Using the hotel as a base to enable those business activities, and the activities to fill the hotel. Sadly a survey found defects which ruled it out. Currently we are looking at a cottage in the South of Ireland with barns, a swimming/boating lake and 4 acres of land, with a view to installing a handful of camping pods and running workshops in the barns and outbuildings. None of these projects look to make a fortune, just enable early semi-retirement based around things and people we enjoy.

I have been hosting people camping in my garden for 6 years ,in 87107

[@dmitril.1935]

Idea number is a great idea for people without land too.

[@KeepItTiny]

I'm guessing you meant idea number one? That is the idea where I didn't explicitly say it's an alternative to buying land but it is. You can save a lot going down that route.

[@TOTO_209]

The event idea will blow up if it’s in the right location. I inherited some acres on the outskirts in the Bay Area and started renting it out for wedding/birthdays and started making a fortune quick. But that soon came to an end because I guess it wasn’t zoned to have parties on it. Great video though!

[@baka7538]

You earned that like and this comment, amazing ideas.

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks man! I'm working on more videos like this that are packed with ideas, info, and tips. I'm getting comfortable making longer videos.

[@crosisofborg5524]

I did number four. A house on 84 acres, 8 of which are on the shore of a large, very large lake.

[@PaulaRamsey-t9e]

that sounds nice crosis of borg

[@taylorsessions4143]

What lake?! Amazing find!! What kind of units have you put up?

[@djdiph]

Tip number 1 … let me go on ahead and hit the like lol!! Great job man.

[@KeepItTiny]

you had me in the first half lol, i thought you were about to say "tip number one, let me go ahead and head out" lol. Thanks for supporting the channel bro!!!

Mobile Glamping for the win!!

[@KeepItTiny]

I really think mobile glamping is a great idea. Once you figure out the logistics of it all you will be printing money lol. Good luck to you!

Thanks, I do too. Good luck on your glamping project!

[@michaelamaestas4950]

It s GOOD to have an owner or host living at the camp area, site

[@KeepItTiny]

You are so lucky to be able to host on your own land. It makes things SOOO much easier if you or a host can live on site.

[@stanleyboots5965]

I'm on idea 3 and big thumbs up.

[@hirokomlm131]

I know you're just starting, but how are you dealing with the negatives like people injuring themselves on your property, damaging property, out of control campfires, etc, and can you do this passively, or do you have to be on site for every guest?

[@bmaho2211]

Great ideas! Love the concept of renting out an existing campground/RV park :)

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks, renting land is such a simple cheat code. I'm currently looking to expand my business this way. I'm driving to a campground tomorrow morning.

[@PaulaRamsey-t9e]

@@KeepItTiny so how is this done? Do u find a old camp ground 🤔 or a existing campground to rent for 1 to 2 weeks or am I on tbe right ✅️ track here ? Can people get one of those alien looking pods and rent them out? I meant like putting 2 or 3 in your backyard?

[@mrsmoderation7718]

I am starting my Mobile Glamping business this fall! Thanks for the great ideas on other ways to offer Glamping!

We are looking for land right now to set up a glamping site and you aren't joking...it gets complicated! How would you get around the fact that geodomes/tents/yurts are uninsurable? Have you heard of many municipalities now allowing temporary structures to operate year round?

[@rgargesfarm]

Loving your ideas! I have been doing some - Airbnb vintage Airstreams on my own property which includes part of my house they can use also But I do love your idea of portable Glamping and taking my Airstream to clients for events / Peerspace Also going to big events that include lots of campers Glampers like the International Airstream rally it's like you have a captive audience to sell to people- don't really know how easy it is to get a booth or how cheap but I think people like that would really buy a product that involves Glamping! Love your videos so glad I found your channel and would love to come to an event when you get yours ready for events!!!😎😊

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for the kind words Rebecca and shout out to you and your business! It sounds like you are absolutely crushing it! I def want to continue evolving my own personal glamping business and do more of the options that I suggested in the video.

[@levi9926]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. How is New York state rules for glamping? Knowing the zoning is critical to creating a legal glamping business.

[@KeepItTiny]

Good question! New York varies drastically by location. Anything downstate or near NYC is going to be very difficult but the further north or west you go the more laid back the local governments are.

[@denisemorris5583]

I like this!!

[@Filip87Kragujevac]

Just keep on grinding brother, great channel, greetings from Serbia! I am considering starting a glamping business in my region, it would be completely new thing here, as we even do not have a lot of camping sites in the country. But anyway, I think it’s a rising trend and it will come here eventually as well. What would be your recommendation, to focus on a single a-frame house business or to make plans from the beginning to have more houses at the spot? Do people like more to have privacy or they would not mind to be surrounded by more other guests (to share the fireplace for the grill between houses for example)?

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for the support all the way from Serbia! I think you are being very smart by getting into the game so early and bringing glamping there. I would focus on your first project, you will learn so much from it and be able to grow smarter from there. That being said, while you plan everything out be sure to leave space for you to grow and have more things going on in the future. The people that stay at my glampsite don't care for complete privacy and don't mind seeing others. In the future I want to have shared amenities for people to use on my land like a shared sauna or something. I think you are thinking about this the right way! Good luck to you on your future project!

[@arnelr8481]

If you buy a house with huge land, it would assume that it is zoned Residential. How would you run a camping business in a residential zoned property?

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks🙏

[@DanielleGlick]

If anyone owns a campsite/ RV park/ tiny house community with a site you'd like to rent by the month for a short-term glamping trial, I'm interested! This would be a great way for you to get a proof of concept to find out if glamping could work for your business without you having to invest any of your own money or time to test it. I’d be taking on all of that risk, while you'd get to sit back and collect your usual monthly rental income. Even if I don’t get the site booked every night, you'd still get the monthly rent payment from me with a proof of concept cherry on top!

[@gblearn24]

You rated buying a house with huge land to build glamping sites on your multi-acre property as a 4/10 on the cool scale. Can you explain why this is such a low number compared to buying vacant land and building a glamping site on that?

[@KeepItTiny]

because buying a house with a lot of land on it is a pretty normal process. Not saying its easy but people do it all the time. Buying raw land and building it up from scratch is harder and cooler in my opinion.

[@ariloves10]

@@KeepItTiny wow inspiring. We are doing the impossible having bought raw land, drilled a well. Cleaning the land. Working with a clean canvas. It's so hard but incredibly fulfilling. We hope to open by Christmas here in northern California.

[@noahriding5780]

What kind of zoning would the land have to be to do a camping business on, if you were doing this like on a set of land outside town?

[@GDan-qf7tg]

This is helpful now

[@AdventuresinPopUps]

Great ideas.... Do you have a price comparison for unique glamping units? Covered wagons, yurts, geo domes.... $$$???

[@taylorsessions4143]

I haven't priced out covered wagons, yurts are around $12k and geo domes start at around $8k.

[@KeepItTiny]

Leave a comment on what idea you like the most, or which idea you think is the most stupid!

[@MindfulMeditationUSA]

How much does it cost to rent camping space?

[@KeepItTiny]

It varies from camp ground to camp ground but the most recent site i was in talks with was offering it for about 1,300 for the entire camping season. Then a fee around 300 if you wanted to just leave your items, tent, or RV there during the winter months.

[@PaulaRamsey-t9e]

@@KeepItTiny $1,300 dollars for the entire camping season ? and 300$ to leave ur glamping equipment ? Isn't that great ? I really like your videos.

[@jessj.jesusistheonlyway]

But rv parks or campgrounds won't they be upset about airbnb people coming and going? Especially Rv parks?

[@KeepItTiny]

Yep, it wont be easy finding one that will say yes but it is possible. You have to be patient to find one and you also will need to have all of your things in order and together to have them take you seriously from the first interaction.

[@someoldguy109]

What is glamping? I know what camping is but why use a G instead?

[@KeepItTiny]

The G stands for "glamorous" so Glamping means: Glamorous Camping. It's for people who would like to go into nature but don't want to completely rough it. I think its a great way to get city folk and people who normally wouldn't want to camp back into nature.
