About - Camp Kerala

2020. Camp Kerala

We pride ourselves on adding something inexpressibly special but deeply felt to all we do. From the moment you touch down at our paradisal camp, you will be embraced by the Camp Kerala spirit. We truly form a family and a community for every event and beyond, creating those rare bonds that last for life.

If you see the Camp Kerala brand, you know the event is going to be something special. By hand-picking where we go, you can rest assured that the event is going to be something astonishing. Our history over the last two decades is one of longstanding friendships, returning guests, wild nights, and days of relaxation and exploration. We bring a luxurious experience every time we return to an event, or set up camp somewhere new.

A beautiful, derelict farmhouse first tempted Jen Oldland, the founder of Camp Kerala, to move to a tranquil valley in Somerset. This was the beginning of Camp Kerala’s history. At this time Jen was a criminal barrister, but the house’s surprising (and extreme!) proximity to Glastonbury festival gave her an idea, which led to the creation of the original luxury festival camping in Britain. Camp Kerala is the ultimate ‘glamping’ experience (and so much more), with Jen pioneering the concept. Glastonbury will always be our spiritual home. At present, Camp Kerala continues to be the leader in luxury in the field. We are now a global brand, adventuring to festivals and events worldwide, always taking the Camp Kerala magic with us.

Our Shikar tents, they are beautiful structures, and look so magnificent when pitched together. Each time I see them constructed my heart soars......These are the famed tents you will be staying in when you book with us for one of our spectacular events.

TO BRINGJOYFUNA HOME AWAY FROM HOMEWHEREVER WE HAPPEN TO BE

Camp Kerala is the pioneer in luxury event accommodation. We have upended tired hospitality through innovation, and introduced unparalleled standards into the industry. As well as being the first, we never stop striving to stay the best.
We are first and foremost a family brand. This goes to the core of what we are and suffuses everything we do. As one extended family, every guest is a treasured part of our extended family. Our longstanding relationships with our suppliers are testament to the passion we put into our partnerships and collaborations.
We hand- pick the events we attend, making sure each experience is up to the Camp Kerala standard. From our handcrafted Shikar tents to the care and attention we put into every detail, no matter how small, we refuse to compromise on any aspect of our hosting.
