An interesting community thread on Farming Forum covering the fundamental economics of running a glamping business. This conversation is over a decade old, BUT many of the references and referral links are fully relevant still and offer great research value.
Excerpt - Business Planning Breakdown by an Experienced Forum Member
*“Average weekly price was £450/week so each tent was turning over £9k/year.
5 tents was manageable easily for one person to look after and service so £45k/year was achievable with any other let weeks being a nice bit on top.
Setup costs for 5 tents was quoted at £100k although this was only 1 quote so clearly there are many more options but it literally was ‘turn key’ so included the wood burner and electricity/water installed, bathroom, furniture, linen, cutlery, carpets, televisions etc etc.
Other setup costs would include the area to site the tents, roadways, getting elec/water to it, car parking area.”*
