Jersey Camping & Glamping Guide

Beuvelande Campsite

Beuvelande Campsite is another beautiful campsite in the north of the island, also awarded five gold pennants from the AA. It is a great place for camping in Jersey with your own tent as it has large, flat fields for pitching up and various electricity outlets you can hook up to. For those who don’t wish to travel with a tent, there are also many other options for your stay including luxurious bell tents or pre-erect safari tents, fully complete with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The campsite is close to Arichondel Beach where you’ll find the crystal-clear sea and golden sands to relax upon. However, the campsite has so much going on, you’ll find it hard to draw yourself away from the different things to do there, whether you choose to splash around in the swimming pool, explore the playpark or get competitive in the games room. Onsite at Beuvelande Campsite there is also a restaurant serving up delicious, fresh dishes that the whole family can enjoy.

Jersey Yurt Holidays

Jersey Yurt Holidays is based on the south of the island, gloriously overlooking the beautiful St Aubin’s Bay. Jersey Yurt Holidays is a luxurious and eco-friendly family-run haven where you will be well-looked after for every part of your Jersey glamping experience. On the site there are 3 luxury 16ft yurts, each surrounded by its own private green area with stunning sea views. Two of the yurts are perfect for couples with soft and plush double beds, whilst the third yurt sleeps four, making it ideal for families.
The yurts are thoughtfully styled and decorated with upcycled furniture and homemade cosy blankets, all finished off with a wood-burning stove for the cold nights, and a BBQ for the warm ones.

What really separates Jersey Yurt Holidays from the other Jersey glamping sites, however, might be the hot tubs with a view that looks over the beautiful south coast of the island. If that isn’t enough to tempt you, the handmade jams, chutneys and homegrown vegetables able to taste and purchase might do the trick!

The glamp site’s location just tucked above St Aubin is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the gorgeous south of the island, whether that’s the buzzing capital of St Helier, or the quaint fishing town of St Aubin.
