Just how expensive is glamping in Ireland?

Powerscourt Waterfall Wicklow Ireland

The cost of glamping in Ireland varies depending on what you book. 

Most average about the same cost as a mid-range hotel. If you really want to splurge, the opportunities are definitely there; otherwise, we’ve found spots for as little as $80 USD per night. 

Why go glamping in Ireland?

There are countless reasons why glamping is one of the best things to do in Ireland, but here are a few key reasons before we jump into the good stuff:

Unique and memorable stays

Many hotels in Ireland will be priced similarly or higher than glamping sites. For around the same cost, you can book something truly special rather than a regular hotel.

Private with perks

One of the main draws of glamping is the privacy and extras that come with your stay. 

Some have hot tubs, saunas, private patios, or postcard-worthy views that you don’t have to share with anyone else!

Pet-friendly stays

If you want to bring your furry companion on your adventures, many glamping sites in Ireland allow pets (while many hotels don’t). Just be sure to double-check with the property as rules differ for each stay.
