Of the 9 campsites within 2.5 miles of Freshwater Bay, 4 have glamping.
Glamping near Freshwater Bay runs from a busy farm park to a quiet meadow, and the four places here suit very different trips. Tapnell Farm, about 2 miles inland, is the family choice: safari tents, domes, modulogs, pods and cabins, most taking dogs, and free entry to the farm park for guests. Its prices change with demand, so book early for school holidays.
Glamping The Wight Way, about 2km north by the River Yar, is the quiet one: four three-bedroom safari lodges, off-grid with wood burners and no wifi, and no pets. Its 2027 tariff starts at £685 for two nights in May or September. From 23 July to 2 September 2027 it only takes stays of four nights or more, from £1,525.
At Compton Farm, Island Bell Tents can put up a furnished bell tent on a pitch near Compton Bay. The Freshwater Camp Equipment Trust is something else again: a marquee and ridge tents let to one group at a time in late July and August. See the glamping guide.

Glamping The Wight Way is about 2km north, by the River Yar, and a bell tent on a Compton Farm pitch puts you about 3km east along the coast path over Afton Down. Tapnell Farm is about 2 miles inland.
Tapnell Farm takes dogs in most of its glamping units for a per-stay charge. Glamping The Wight Way does not allow any pets, including service dogs, because of a lease condition.
Freshwater Camp Equipment Trust Campsite, about 1.1 miles away as the crow flies.
