Is glamping autism friendly?

Glamping has become more and more popular in recent years with people loving the idea of retaining the rustic charm of campaign with getting to keep all their home comforts. The thing is though, just how accessible is glamping? Well, a number of glamping sites have confirmed that they are in fact incredibly autism friendly.

In fact, glamping might be the best form of ‘campsite’ style holiday for those of you with autistic family members. First off, glampsites have ready-made accommodation from lodges to safari tents, so you don’t have to worry about pitching your own tent and because they have actual beds and actual showers, this can take the stress out of there being too much change of your environment.

Obviously, autism isn’t the same for everyone, but as glamping sites are so varied and have so many different options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find a site that can adapat to your needs.

Leafy Fields Glamping based in Devon are the first glamping site to achieve the Autism Friendly Award and are continuing to create a holiday environment that is accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Talking about the award on their website, they said: “We appreciate that autism is different for each individual and are happy to adapt and help where we can to enable your whole family to have a truly relaxing time. Take a look at our list of ideas for local attractions and activities that are suitable and of interest to children with autism and their siblings. Our sensory playroom in the stable block is always very popular and our safari lodges have cubby play areas which can act as a chill out area within the tents.”
