Glamping, in my eyes, is an awesome way to enjoy being out in the wilderness as you are just as comfortable as you might be at home while being surrounded by nature. It truly takes all the hassle out of camping and the uncomfortable side of it, everything is just, well, easy.
Now, how about combining glamping with a fishing trip? Glam fishing is the perfect combination for me as you can focus on fishing, tactics, and long hours while always getting a good night’s sleep and being super comfortable at the same time.
Join me as I run through the best glamping and fishing locations in the USA, UK, and Europe so you can book an awesome glamping fishing trip.

Best Glamping And Fishing In Europe
El Delfin Verde – Spain
El Delfin Verde sits on the Mediterranean side of Spain just north of Barcelona and south of the French border. Set right on the beach and next to the river Ter, this glamping holiday resort has it all when it comes to fishing.
You can target carp and catfish on the river Ter or Doura or you can go surfcasting from the beach to catch an array of different saltwater species too.
The glamping at the resort is excellent and you will stay in a large canvas tent with either two or three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, a living area, a terrace, and even air conditioning. You will be a short walk from the beach and you can enjoy the many swimming pools onsite too.
Very few glamping fishing sites have both saltwater glamping and river glamping, El Delfin Verde really is a glamp fishing heaven!
The fishing nearby can be booked at the resort but there is no information as to whether guides and fishing equipment will be provided so you should check with them beforehand when you book.
