At the time of listing, a named third-party eco certification (Green Key, Ecotourism Ireland Gold, or Green Hospitality) has not been independently confirmed for this property.

If you require independently verified certification, the other Wicklow properties on this platform hold confirmed third-party certification.
The Property
Glendalough Glamping offers adult-only glamping pods in the Glendalough Valley, one of the most historically and ecologically significant landscapes in County Wicklow. The valley holds two glacial lakes, a 6th-century monastic settlement, and ancient oak woodland within the Wicklow Mountains National Park.
The pods are positioned within this landscape, set among ancient woodlands with views across the valley. The Glendalough trail network is accessible directly from the glamping site, making this one of the most well-located eco glamping options in Wicklow for walkers and nature-focused guests.
Why Wicklow Matters for Eco Travel
Wicklow is the closest eco travel destination to Dublin, within two hours of the city centre. For Dublin-based travellers seeking a certified eco stay without a long drive, Wicklow offers the combination of proximity, landscape quality, and growing eco accommodation provision.
The Wicklow Mountains National Park covers 20,000 hectares of upland landscape. Glendalough is at its heart. Staying here means being embedded in that landscape, not visiting it as a day trip.
Accommodation
The adult-only glamping pods offer good quality accommodation suited to couples. Each pod has its own bathroom facilities and a private outdoor area. The adult-only policy maintains a quiet, peaceful atmosphere suited to the Glendalough setting.
