Bell tents, boho vibes, breathtaking views and a river running along side.
If you’ve ever dreamed of switching off, slowing down and waking up to rolling green hills, but without straying too far from the buzz of Cardiff… Garth Glamping is calling your name.
Tucked away in the lush hills of Gwaelod Y Garth, just a short drive from the city centre, this brand-new glamping site is a peaceful, off-grid retreat offering the perfect balance between wild escape and creature comforts.
Run by Cardiff locals Gerwyn and Jordan, Garth Glamping is very much a passion project, rooted in family and land. In fact, the site sits on land farmed for over 80 years by Gerwyn’s stepfather, Clive – and that heritage and warmth are woven into every little detail.
You’ll find beautifully styled furnished bell tents, each one blending rustic charm with a touch of boho luxe – fairy lights, earthy tones, and hilltop views straight out of a Pinterest board. There are also campervan pitches if you’re rolling up with your own wheels.
Whether you’re escaping for a romantic weekend, planning a wholesome family staycation, or just fancy a bit of peace and quiet to read a book under the trees, Garth has you covered.
Digital detox, but make it cute
There’s no WiFi here – by design. This is a place to unplug, slow down, and actually hear the birds singing. Think firepits, stargazing, BBQs, and golden hour views you’ll be talking about for weeks. (And yes, it’s extremely Instagram-worthy.)
Thoughtful touches all round
Eco-conscious glampers will love the site’s sustainable ethos – from solar lighting and minimal plastic to eco-friendly toiletries and recycling points. There’s even the option to add BBQ or breakfast packs, book celebration touches, or buy a gift voucher for that friend who’s always dreaming of an escape.
Not too far from the fun and perfect if you are heading to Cardiff one of the many Concerts this summer
While it feels like a world away, Garth Glamping is only 20 minutes from central Cardiff and just around the corner from Fforest Fawr woodland walks and the ever-charming Gwaelod Inn, perfect for a post-hike pint or hearty meal.
On-site, you’ll find:
Fire pits at every tent A rustic kitchen and proper shower block Nature play area for little ones Outdoor games and cosy reading corners
Glamping with soul
More than just a pretty place to stay, Garth Glamping offers a slice of calm, rooted in Welsh countryside and community spirit. It’s glamping, but with heart – and a whole lot of style.
So if you’re looking for a mini-adventure, a screen-free reset, or just a gorgeous place to toast marshmallows and watch the sun dip behind the hills… this is the place.
