Does Your Land Work for Glamping?

You don't need an established venue to create an incredible guest experience. Some of our favorite projects start with nothing more than a beautiful piece of land and an idea.

Here's a quick way to determine whether your property could work for a temporary glamping camp or outdoor event.

Glamping Site Checklist

•  Enough usable acreage
  There is adequate open space for the number of tents, gathering areas and infrastructure you're envisioning.
• Relatively level ground
  Tent sites don't need to be perfectly flat, but reasonably level areas make for safer installations and much more comfortable sleeping.
• Vehicle access
  Our trucks, trailers and installation crews need to be able to reach the site. Narrow roads, steep grades, soft ground and tight turns are worth identifying early.
• Water source
  An existing water connection is helpful, but not always required. For remote locations, water can often be stored or brought to the site.
• Power plan
  Grid power is great when available. For off-grid properties, we can help determine generator and temporary power requirements.
• Restroom plan
  Depending on the property and guest count, this may mean existing facilities, luxury restroom trailers or temporary bathroom infrastructure.
• Room for service and emergency access
  A beautiful camp still needs practical access for staff, service vehicles and emergency personnel.
  
  

A Few Things We'll Help You Think Through

Do I need power?
Not necessarily. Many of our camps are built in locations without permanent utilities. Power needs depend on lighting, heating or cooling, catering, bathrooms, entertainment and the level of hospitality you want to provide.

Do I need running water?
Not always. Water requirements depend on your restroom setup, showers, catering and guest count. Remote water solutions can often be incorporated into the site plan.

What about bathrooms?
Restrooms are one of the first things we plan for. We'll look at guest count, length of stay, existing infrastructure and service access to determine an appropriate solution.
What happens if it rains?
We plan outdoor projects expecting weather rather than hoping it doesn't happen. Tent placement, drainage, anchoring, flooring and vehicle access all become part of the conversation when evaluating a site.

What about wind?
Weather matters. Our structures have specific installation and operating parameters, and we evaluate forecast conditions throughout a project. When conditions approach the limits of any structure, guest safety comes first and the site may need to be evacuated or the structure taken out of service.

Do I need event insurance?
Insurance requirements depend on the project, property and vendors involved. Larger events and private-property installations commonly require event liability coverage and certificates of insurance.

How much time do you need to build the camp?
Build and teardown days should be considered separately from guest or event days. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, our team may arrive several days before guests and remain onsite after departure to dismantle and remove the infrastructure.

How do I know if trucks can actually get there?
Photos, maps and site plans can answer a lot, but larger projects may require a site visit

request a Site Visit

For properties that need a closer look, Wild Productions offers on-site consultations for $1,000 plus travel expenses.

We'll walk the property with you, evaluate tent placement, access, terrain, utilities, restroom locations, guest flow and overall site logistics, then help determine what it will take to bring your vision to life.

If you move forward with Wild Productions, the $1,000 site visit fee is credited toward your final contract value. It's an easy first step when you have the land but aren't quite sure what's possible yet.
