Four Nights, Three Kids; Countless Memories 💫 …If you’re searching for family-friendly glamping in East Yorkshire, a luxury safari tent holiday with kids, or a countryside retreat where your family can truly reconnect, Kingfisher Lakes offers something wonderfully special.
One recent guest perfectly captured the experience when they described their stay as “an amazing family stay in an idyllic setting.” Reading their review reminded us exactly why we love welcoming families to our little corner of the countryside.
Staying in Hare’s Hideout, one of our luxury safari tents, the family shared that from the moment they arrived they were made to feel “completely at home” and that their accommodation “genuinely felt like a home from home.” It’s the kind of feedback that means the world to us because creating a warm, welcoming environment is at the heart of everything we do.
One of the greatest joys of glamping with kids is watching children rediscover the simple pleasures of outdoor life. During their four-night stay, their three children spent their days “being outdoors and device-free”, enjoying board games, bat-and-ball, kayaking, fishing, exploring the local bridle paths, and making new friends around the lakes. Away from screens and packed schedules, families find themselves reconnecting in ways that can sometimes get lost in everyday life.
What makes Kingfisher Lakes stand out among family glamping holidays in Yorkshire is the sense of space and tranquillity. As this guest explained, “there were times when it felt like we were the only ones there.” Even though the site was fully booked, they noted that it “never once felt crowded” thanks to the thoughtful layout of our safari tents and lakeside setting.
Their review included one of the most beautiful descriptions of what we hope every family experiences here:
“It’s such a special place where you can slow down, breathe, and properly enjoy nature. For a few days, you can forget the busy pace of life and just be together.”
And perhaps that’s the true magic of a family glamping break.
It’s listening to the rain gently drumming on the safari tent roof. It’s morning coffees overlooking the lakes while the children head off on their next adventure. It’s evenings spent playing games, sharing stories and making memories instead of scrolling through phones.
At Kingfisher Lakes, we’re passionate about creating the kind of countryside family holidays that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked. As this family so wonderfully put it, they had “come away with so many memories that will stay with us.” That’s exactly what family-friendly glamping is all about: slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and spending precious time together.
After all, the best family holidays aren’t measured by how much you do. They’re measured by the memories you make along the way. ✨🏕️🌿
