Glamping Site Public Liability Insurance

Protect Your Glamping Business from Third-Party Injury and Property Damage Claims

Operating a glamping site presents unique challenges—from uneven rural terrain and shared amenities to high guest turnover and non-standard accommodation. Public liability insurance is essential for safeguarding your business if a guest or visitor is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your site’s layout, activities, or infrastructure.

At Quote Monkey, our Glamping Site Owners Insurance includes £2 million public liability cover as standard, with the option to increase to £5 million to meet site licence requirements or the expectations of landowners and local authorities. Whether your site features safari tents, yurts, bell tents, pods, or shepherd huts, our policy is designed to reflect your operational risks.

This cover helps you meet legal obligations and ensures financial protection against costly legal defence fees, compensation claims, and third-party injury disputes—so you can focus on delivering a memorable guest experience with confidence.

Who Needs Glamping Site Liability Insurance?

If you operate a glamping site, eco retreat, or pop-up holiday venue, having the right liability insurance is essential. When members of the public, tradespeople, or volunteers visit your land, there's always a risk of injury or property damage—especially with shared facilities, uneven ground, and outdoor structures.

Glamping site liability insurance protects your business from compensation claims and legal expenses arising from these types of incidents. Whether your site runs year-round or seasonally, it helps you stay protected, compliant, and financially secure.

We provide tailored public liability insurance for a wide range of site types including:
Glamping sites with bell tents, yurts, safari tents, or pods
Eco retreats and off-grid accommodation sites
Pop-up camping and festival-style holiday venues
Sites with shared kitchens, toilet blocks, or hot tubs
Glamping parks operating as part of a larger leisure or farm business

If a guest slips on a decking area, trips over a guide rope, or suffers an injury due to faulty site facilities, you could be held liable. Our cover is designed to help glamping site operators manage this risk with confidence.

Employers’ Liability Insurance for Glamping Site Operators

Protecting Your Team and Staying Legally Compliant

If you hire staff—whether full-time, part-time, seasonal, or unpaid helpers—you are legally required to hold employers’ liability insurance. This vital cover protects you if an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work at your glamping site.

At Quote Monkey, we offer employers’ liability insurance as an optional extension to our site liability policy. Cover is available up to £10 million to meet your legal obligations and shield your business from costly compensation claims.

Whether your team includes cleaners, maintenance workers, site managers, or volunteer hosts, our policies are built to give you complete peace of mind.

What Does Employers’ Liability Insurance Cover?

Employers’ liability insurance protects glamping site owners if a staff member, volunteer, or contractor is injured or becomes ill due to their duties on site. It covers legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and related expenses that may arise from a claim—helping you avoid serious financial losses.

Examples of common claims include:
A groundskeeper injures their back while carrying equipment to a remote glamping unit
A cleaner slips in a communal shower or kitchen area
A volunteer trips on exposed cables while helping prepare a new safari tent
A maintenance worker falls while installing lighting on a treehouse deck

Even a single accident can lead to a legal claim. Employers’ liability insurance helps ensure your glamping business is protected.

Who Needs Employers’ Liability Insurance?

If you run a glamping site and employ anyone—whether paid, part-time, seasonal, or a volunteer—UK law generally requires you to hold employers’ liability insurance. It protects you if someone working for you becomes injured or ill as a result of their work.

You’ll need this cover if you:
Employ full-time, part-time, or casual workers
Use seasonal staff, freelancers, or volunteers
Operate a glamping site, eco retreat, or mixed-use holiday park
Have team members responsible for cleaning, guest services, setup, or maintenance

When you take out employers’ liability cover with Quote Monkey, we’ll provide an official employers’ liability certificate that you can print and display on site to stay compliant with UK regulations.

We can include up to £10 million of employers’ liability cover within your glamping insurance policy—keeping your business compliant and your team protected.

Frequently Asked Questions – Glamping Site Owners' Insurance
