What our Certified Sites say...

Certification isn't a quick form and a rubber stamp — it's a proper vetting process, and we're upfront about that from the first conversation. So rather than tell you it's worth it, we thought it was more useful to let the site owners who've been through it say so themselves.

Bolam Lake

"Wanderlust provided excellent support in helping us set up our campsite. In the early stages, they guided us through the process of developing our site and continue to offer invaluable support with planning issues, current legislation and business development. Their knowledge, expertise and support for small sites such as ours is outstanding."

Gatcombe Park

"Wanderlust Camping Club has been a wonderful partner for our camping and glamping site. They've helped us open up and share our Alpaca smallholding with guests and have provided great advice on everything from planning to campsite management. Matt and the team are always professional, approachable, and a pleasure to work with."

Rolster Bridge

"Wanderlust Camping went above and beyond in helping us launch Rolster Bridge Glamping. From navigating complex planning issues to offering expert advice, Matt and his team were committed every step of the way. Their professionalism and dedication turned our dream into a reality, and we couldn't ask for a better partner. Highly recommended!"

Winford Retreat

"Wanderlust are always on hand to guide us through legislation, give sound advice on running our site and growing our business. Matt is professional, understanding, supportive, friendly and approachable. We are forever grateful for the support of Wanderlust and cannot recommend them enough as the perfect business partner."

A theme worth noticing

Read these back to back and a pattern shows up: it's rarely the certification paperwork people mention first. It's the ongoing support — planning issues, council queries, legislation, day-to-day site management — that keeps coming up, from set-up through to the years after.

That's really the point of vetting sites properly in the first place. The certification isn't for us — it's what tells a guest, before they've even arrived, that someone already checked the access, the drainage, the safety, the whole setup, so they don't have to gamble on it.

Thinking about certifying your own site?

If you're weighing up whether it's worth the process, the honest answer is: it depends what you want out of it. If you're after the fastest possible route to opening with the fewest questions asked, it's probably not for you. If you want the kind of certification that actually means something to the guests booking through it, this is exactly what it's built for.
