Dutch glamping platform Glampings.com raises €2 million for European push
What's the deal? GlampingsDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →.com, an Arnhem-based booking platform focused entirely on glamping, has raised €2 million from Dutch entrepreneurs and investors. The company will use the money to expand into France and Italy, boost marketing in Germany, and build AI tools that help parks list faster.
What's the endgame? Glampings.com brings safari tents, treehouses, lodges, domes, and tiny houses onto one multilingual platform. It now lists more than 4,500 accommodations, up from about 2,300 a year ago, including properties from holiday-park groups such as EuroParcs, Roompot, and Landal.
Why now? The round follows a €1 million raise from the same investors in 2025, pointing to a sustained bet on expansion. Earlier this year, one investor named Glampings.com among the three best-performing companies in a portfolio of 14.
Going global: The July 2026 acquisition of South African platform Conservio.com added more than 1,000 nature and safari lodges in Southern Africa, the company's first step beyond Europe.
Demand increasingly comes from abroad. In October, 45% of bookings came from outside the Netherlands, with Germany the strongest foreign market.
"Glampers book an experience, not a bed," said co-founder Tom Groenen. "This round lets us bring more parks in France and Italy online and put them in front of travellers from all over Europe."
What could go wrong? Glampings.com competes with established booking channels and operators' own websites. Scaling supply across markets does not guarantee it can win travellers from larger, entrenched players.
The signal: The global glamping market was valued at $3.2 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach $6.95 billion by 2034, with Europe holding the largest share. The raise is a bet that a specialist platform can consolidate a fragmented, increasingly digital market—though it remains one company's play, not proof of a wider funding wave.
