The best glampings for teenagers
On holiday with teenagers? Here’s how to make it a success for everyone.
A holiday with teenagers is different from one with young children. Teenagers are looking for freedom, activity, sport and above all: people their own age. You are looking for relaxation, comfort and the feeling that everyone is having a good time.
Fortunately, those things can go hand in hand. At a good glamping, you will find exactly that balance. Entertainment that is genuinely fun for teenagers, sports fields where they can burn off energy, relaxed chill-out areas and of course spacious safari tents where the whole family can stay comfortably together.
Why a glamping is ideal for teenagers
A glamping is not just about luxury camping. It is about atmosphere. About freedom. About being together, but also having your own space.
Teenagers appreciate not being tied to their parents, but also not being completely on their own. On a glamping, that balance happens naturally. During the day they meet at the pool, take part in sports tournaments or hang out in the chill zone. In the evening you have dinner together, and afterwards they meet up again for evening activities.
And you? You can relax in the sun, visit a nearby village, read a book by the tent and enjoy a good glass of wine. Because you know: they are perfectly happy.
Entertainment for teenagers (no kids’ club feel)
Not every campsite is suitable for teenagers. A mini disco is fun when you are six, but not when you are fifteen. The best glampings for teenagers therefore offer a more extensive entertainment programme. Think of:
- Outdoor activities
- Sports tournaments (football, volleyball, basketball)
- Challenges and games specifically for 12+
- Pool parties or DJ nights
- Evening programme
The difference lies in the target group. When there are plenty of teenagers around, a group naturally forms. And that is what makes it fun for them.
Sport & action
A glamping for teenagers needs space. Literally. Multi-sport courts, table tennis tables, a football pitch, skate or pump track, water sports options or a lively swimming pool – these are the places where teenagers gather.
Glampings by the sea are especially popular. Spend the day at the beach, swim together or play beach volleyball, and head back to the site in the evening. Glampings near a lake or river also work well, especially if you can go paddleboarding or kayaking.
Chill-out areas are just as important
Teenagers do not want to take part in activities all day. Sometimes they just want to hang out.
A good glamping therefore also offers informal spaces: a lounge area by the pool, bean bags, a bar or terrace where they can have a drink together, a grassy area where groups can sit.
Comfort for the whole family
A holiday only feels truly relaxing when your accommodation is right. Especially with teenagers. Our safari tents are spacious, with separate bedrooms and comfortable beds. No hassle with air mattresses or suitcases under the bed. Everyone has their own space, but you can also sit together at the large dining table or on the veranda.
What makes a glamping suitable for teenagers?
If you are looking for a great glamping for teenagers, pay attention to the following:
- Is there an entertainment programme for 12+?
- Are there sports fields or active facilities?
- Is there a swimming pool or water nearby?
- Are there many families with older children?
- Is the tent large enough for everyone?
If these points are covered, you have a strong foundation for a successful holiday.
Enjoying together
The best part of a holiday with teenagers? That moment when you see they are having a great time. Making new friends. Walking off independently to an activity. Coming back to the tent laughing. That is exactly what a holiday should feel like.
