About Edinburgh Festival Glamping
Heading to Edinburgh for festival season and looking for a great place to stay a little way from the city's crowds? Edinburgh Festival Glamping sits in the walled garden at the peaceful Merchiston Castle estate, just a 10-minute drive from the centre – or hop on a local bus to reach the festivals and sights of Auld Reekie.
The five-metre bell tents sleep up to four and come kitted out with beds, bedding and pillows (bring your own towels), plus they're lockable for peace of mind. Shared facilities include showers, toilets, wifi, a charging zone and a campfire area for chilled-out evenings. Security runs 24 hours, quiet time is 10pm to 7am with no amplified music, and barbecues are kept to designated areas – smoking, vaping and open fires aren't allowed within five metres of the tents.
Away from the city's bustle, you'll feel tucked into a secret garden here. Reviewers award it a perfect five-star rating, praising its peaceful vibe and prime location for exploring Edinburgh's summer calendar. It can feel a touch strict on safety rules, but that's the trade-off for keeping everyone safe and the atmosphere serene.

Great venue surrounded by nature, really chill vibes with the fire pit, lights on the trees and eating ‘court yard’ to hang out at night. Glamping tents really spacious too. Nice comfy beds which is a bonus when camping.
