Of the 11 campsites within 1.7 miles of the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, 4 have glamping.
There is no glamping at the festival, but some of the Island's best-known glamping is a short walk away. The Garlic Farm Yurts on Mersley Lane belong to the farm that grows the garlic, so a stay puts you next to its shop and restaurant. In 2026 Visit Isle of Wight listed the yurts at £180 a night at peak, with a two or three night minimum.
Book early, because mid-August is the top of the season. Willow Shepherd's Hut in Newchurch village is a few minutes' walk from the festival, but it sleeps two and is let by the week with Friday changeovers, so take the week starting Friday 20 August 2027. Neither the yurts nor the hut take dogs; Southland and the Old Barn do. More in our glamping guide.

Not on the festival site, which has only trader camping. The Garlic Farm Yurts, about 1.7 km away on Mersley Lane, and Willow Shepherd's Hut in Newchurch are the closest glamping.
Southland at Newchurch has a dog-friendly safari tent, and the Old Barn at Apse Heath allows dogs in selected pods. The Garlic Farm Yurts and Willow Shepherd's Hut do not take dogs.

Yes, at Willow Shepherd's Hut and The Garlic Farm Yurts. Most want fires in a raised pit, not on the ground.
