Your First Glamping Break: What to Expect at Into The Wild
If you’ve never been glamping before, you might be wondering exactly what to expect from your first glamping break.
Is glamping basically camping with a nicer tent? Do you need to bring lots of equipment? Will you actually be comfortable? And, perhaps most importantly, will you have to trek across a field in the middle of the night to find a bathroom?
We completely understand.
At Into The Wild, we love being close to nature, but we also rather like comfortable beds, hot showers and the little luxuries that make a break feel like a proper treat.
So, if you’re considering glamping for the first time or looking for a peaceful glamping break in Lincolnshire, here’s what staying with us is really like.
What Is Glamping?
Glamping combines the best parts of camping with a much more comfortable place to stay.
You still get fresh air, nights under canvas, birdsong in the morning and the feeling of being surrounded by nature — but without having to put up a tent, sleep on the ground or pack half a camping shop into the car.
At Into The Wild, our spacious 6-metre bell tents are already set up and waiting for you when you arrive.
Inside, you’ll find a proper double bed with comfortable bedding, towels, lighting and thoughtful touches designed to make the tent feel welcoming from the moment you step inside.
For us, that’s the sweet spot: the experience of camping, with far more comfort.
Is Glamping Comfortable?
Yes — and that’s one of the biggest differences between glamping and traditional camping.
A first glamping break doesn’t have to mean compromising on sleep or comfort. Our bell tents include proper beds, bedding and relaxing spaces where you can settle in and make yourself at home.
Depending on the tent you choose, your stay can also include a private wood-fired hot tub or our wonderfully different outdoor bath.
There’s something very special about soaking outside as the sun sets or the stars begin to appear overhead. It’s one of those experiences that feels completely removed from everyday life — which is exactly what a few days away should do.
Each tent also has its own outdoor space, giving you somewhere to sit, relax and enjoy the Lincolnshire countryside without feeling like you’re sharing your break with a crowd.
What Are the Bathroom Facilities Like When Glamping?
This is often one of the first questions people ask when considering glamping for the first time.
And yes — you can have a proper hot shower.
Our washroom facilities are only a short walk from the bell tents and have been designed with the same care as the rest of the site. You can enjoy hot showers, warm surroundings and comfortable facilities for getting ready for the day ahead.
So you can spend your day walking through the Lincolnshire Wolds, exploring the local area or simply relaxing outdoors and still come back to a proper shower afterwards.
What Is It Like to Wake Up in a Bell Tent?
There’s something about waking up under canvas that makes mornings feel a little slower.
You hear the countryside waking up around you before anything else. There’s no traffic outside the window, no alarm reminding you that you’re already running late, and nowhere you necessarily need to be.
You can open the tent, step outside and simply sit for a while.
For many of our guests, these quiet morning moments become one of their favourite parts of a glamping stay at Into The Wild.
It’s a small thing, but it’s often exactly what people mean when they say they want to “get away from it all”.
What Can You Do During a Glamping Break in Lincolnshire?
One of the loveliest things about staying at Into The Wild is that you don’t need a packed itinerary.
If you want to explore, there’s plenty nearby.
Willingham Woods is right on our doorstep, while the Viking Way gives walkers access to some beautiful stretches of countryside. The wider Lincolnshire Wolds are perfect for getting outdoors, and nearby Tealby is well worth discovering if you fancy visiting one of the area’s prettiest villages.
But you’re equally welcome to do very little.
Read a book. Sit outside. Take a long bath. Spend far too long in the hot tub. Watch the sunset.
We fully support doing absolutely nothing productive while you’re here.
That freedom is one of the things that makes a glamping break so relaxing — your stay can be as active or as slow as you want it to be.
What Are Evenings Like at Into The Wild?
As daylight begins to disappear, Into The Wild takes on a completely different feel.
The festoon lights glow around the tents, the countryside becomes quieter and those big Lincolnshire skies take over.
It’s the perfect time to sit outside, enjoy your private space and realise that you haven’t checked the time for several hours.
And when the skies are clear, don’t forget to look up.
Away from the bright lights of towns and cities, evenings here can be wonderfully dark, making a simple night outside feel very special indeed.
A drink outside, a quiet conversation and a sky full of stars can become one of the most memorable parts of your stay.
What Should You Pack for Your First Glamping Break?
One of the advantages of glamping is that you don’t need all the equipment associated with traditional camping.
You won’t need to bring a tent, sleeping bag or camping bed. Instead, focus on the things that will make your stay comfortable and help you enjoy the local area.
We recommend comfortable clothes, sensible footwear for exploring, a few layers for cooler evenings and whatever you need for the plans you’ve made.
And even in summer, it’s worth bringing something warm.
This is the British countryside, after all — we make no promises where the weather is concerned!
Who Is Glamping at Into The Wild Best For?
Into The Wild is an adults-only glamping site in Lincolnshire, making it particularly suited to couples looking for some proper time away together.
You might be celebrating an anniversary or birthday, planning a romantic escape, or simply deciding that everyday life has been busy enough lately.
You don’t need a special occasion, though.
Sometimes wanting a couple of peaceful days away is reason enough.
Our small site is designed for guests who value privacy, nature and a slower pace rather than crowds and constant activity.
Is Glamping Good for People Who Don’t Like Camping?
Absolutely.
If your previous camping memories involve damp sleeping bags, uncomfortable beds and trying to find the toilets by torchlight, glamping can be a very different experience.
You still get the sense of being outdoors and close to nature, but with many of the comforts you’d expect from a relaxing break.
A proper bed. Hot showers. Beautiful surroundings. Private outdoor spaces. A little luxury.
And no tent poles to argue with.
For people curious about camping but unsure about giving up their creature comforts, glamping is often the perfect middle ground.
