Epic Stays have created Sample Budgets for Glamping that give you a realistic picture of costs at different scales:
- 1 Pod or Tiny Cabin (€53,000 – €201,000) – A good way to test the market without huge investment.
- 2 Furnished Tents (€428,700 – €452,700) – More setup but also more income potential.
- 5–10 Units (€150,000 – €573,000) – A serious investment for those ready to grow into a larger business.
These templates include everything from land and planning permission, to utilities, solar panels, marketing, and contingency funds.
This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about helping you see the hidden costs, compare options (buy vs lease land, basic vs luxury units), and prepare for expenses like marketing, insurance, and infrastructure. Many first-time entrepreneurs underestimate these costs—and end up facing delays or financial strain.
