What started as a small community of like-minded landowners and nature enthusiasts has grown into one of the UK's leading woodland glamping and camping club networks. Founded in 2017, Woodland Champions Club has been helping people reconnect with nature through unique woodland escapes, sustainable staycations and nature-based tourism while supporting reforestation, biodiversity and responsible land stewardship.
Each year, we welcome new woodland glamping sites and exempted camping locations across England, Scotland and Wales, creating unforgettable outdoor adventures for campers, glampers and nature lovers alike. Through eco camping practices, low-impact tourism and woodland conservation, we're helping to build a greener future—one glampsite, one tree and one guest at a time.
Woodland Champions Club was established to help landowners create and operate sustainable woodland glamping sites under glamping exemption certificates. Our network offers guests the opportunity to enjoy carefully curated nature retreats while directly contributing to woodland creation and environmental conservation.
As a Natural England-approved exempted organisation, we work closely with landowners to deliver low-impact glamping experiences that benefit both people and the planet. Through the glamping exemption scheme, we make it possible for qualifying landowners to open small-scale glamping sites without the complexities of full planning permission, helping more woodland spaces become accessible for responsible tourism.
Discover Unique Woodland StaysOur growing collection of woodland glamping sites offers something for every type of escape, including:
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, family adventure, digital detox, or weekend escape with your dog, you'll find distinctive stays designed to help you slow down and reconnect.
Our MissionOur mission is simple: to connect people with nature while supporting the creation and protection of Britain's woodlands.
Through woodland glamping, sustainable staycations and environmentally responsible tourism, we help landowners diversify their income, encourage tree planting and create memorable outdoor experiences for our members. Every new location that joins our network contributes to a future where tourism and conservation work hand in hand.

These community-led giveaways not only showcase some of the UK's most beautiful glamping stays but also help support important charitable causes, creating positive impact beyond the woodland itself.
Why Woodland Creation Matters?The UK currently has around 13% woodland cover, significantly below the European average of 37%. Expanding our woodlands helps to:
A single mature oak tree can support more than 2,300 species, demonstrating the extraordinary value of healthy woodland ecosystems.
As the UK works towards ambitious woodland creation targets, woodland glamping offers a practical and sustainable way to support reforestation while helping people build a deeper connection with nature.
