So, you’ve booked your glamping trip and it’s time to pack – but now what? How do you make sure you’ve got everything you’ll need, without taking up room with all of those unnecessary items that you won’t? As you know, here at Meadow Field Luxury Glamping, we live and breathe the glamping world – which is why we’ve put together our ultimate glamping packing list, for you to utilise ahead of your trip.
First of all, it’s worth noting that the type of glamping trip you’re going on will impact what you pack. For example, if you’ve booked a stay with us at Meadow Field Luxury Glamping, consider your trip as a ‘self-catering break under canvas’, or as one of our guests liked to put it, ‘just like staying in a boutique hotel but with the added benefits of camping’. We are extremely proud to offer a ‘luxury’ glamping experience for our guests, which is why we go above and beyond to make sure your stay with us is as comfortable and easy as possible.
To ensure Meadow Field Luxury Glamping really is like your home from home, we provide almost everything, including a first aid kit, hairdryer, towels, bedding – and even a slow cooker in our fully-equipped kitchen.
Of course, we also appreciate that every glamping site is different. A top tip from us is to always check out your accommodation’s FAQ page (here’s ours!) before your trip, so you have a good idea of what they provide.
So, with that in mind, here is our generic packing list, that you can use as a handy guide as you prepare for your glamping break.

- A torch (although we do supply one for each safari tent here at Meadow Field Luxury Glamping)

Food
This will very much depend on the site you are staying at, as well as your personal preferences. If you are a guest at Meadow Field Luxury Glamping, we would advise bringing any food and drinks required, as, due to our location and restricted access to the farm we are unable to receive supermarket or takeaway deliveries to our site.
There are a number of local supermarkets near us, as well as a handful of fabulous farm shops, selling locally sourced groceries and goodies, which you can explore here ahead of your visit.
And remember, if you’ve booked a trip with us at Meadow Field Luxury Glamping, don’t forget to bring your favourite pizza toppings, as we now have a pizza oven available to hire during your stay.
