Tent vacation rentals in North Dorset District

The bell tents were lovely, very spacious with 5 beds inside and lots of lovely touches like tea lights and useful camping things you’d never think to bring. Thanks Nicky and the team for a lovely stay, highly recommended!

The quality of the accommodation is excellent and of a high standard, with the attention to detail plainly evident. We found all the essentials were supplied, tea, coffee, toiletries etc and a lovely touch. We are a family of six and found the quality of the beds, bedding, shower, towels, kitchen amenities, furnishings superb. The accommodation was roomy and comfortable even when it was chilly outside, with lots of heating options including a log burner to keep warm. Jono was on hand to check us in and give advice on local attractions. Thank you. This is an absolute gem and we had a wonderful stay. We hope to see you again. Jason & Denise

Beautiful bell tent, well equipped kitchen and the kids play tipi was great! Pub a few minutes walk away was also lovely and great food! Perfect location for the beautiful Jurassic coast. Thanks for a lovely stay, Lauren, Alex and Rosie x

Linda and Gary are fabulous hosts at this beautiful and peaceful glamping site. From booking onwards Linda sent us lots of really useful information on what to pack and what to expect - really handy when packing for three kids! When we arrived Linda and Gary were there to greet us and show us around. The honesty shop set up is brilliant! The tents themselves are well equipped and nicely kitted out - the views are stunning. We loved the pizza night. Everything is very well organised and really thoughtfully done. The kids loved feeding the farm animals with Gary too. The other campers were also really friendly and there was a great atmosphere. Would love to visit again.

Absolutely stunning place! so peaceful and in the middle of a beautiful farm. we had a great time.

Jo’s place was lovely and peaceful in a fantastic location. We loved feeding the pigs and collecting eggs from the chickens! The tent was clean, comfortable and cosy, we would definitely stay here again.

The camp site was perfect for me and my 2 children, the alpaca’s, the goats, the facilities and whole site was amazing, they loved it! Throughout our stay Claire made us feel right at home, and always made sure we had everything we needed! She even took the time to sit down and talk with my 2 sons on multiple occasions about the fossils they found that day 😊

We loved our stay in wells! The bell tent was secluded out of the way and was so cosy to stay in (even in the rain). We enjoyed having breakfast outside the tent every morning and cooking up a bbq in the evening with marshmallows on the fire pit. The bathroom and toilet area that we had to ourselves was perfect and it didn’t feel like we were camping with such nice facilities there. Lara and Casey are the loveliest couple! We had the warmest welcome and they made sure we had everything we needed and were on hand in case we needed anything at all. The location is so close to lots of lovely villages to explore and nearby pubs to walk to. We would 100% come back again!

Wow just wow Lizzie and her husband have set up an amazing little situation! Not only is she an incredible host but she was so helpful. As a family we had an amazing time and would love to come back. The children enjoyed it so much. Playing with the other kids, feeding the animals and just being out in the open! Thanks again Lizzie and Harvey !

Fantastic place to stay in Somerset countryside whilst visiting friends. A stones throw away from Bruton and 10 min walk into Wincanton. Charlie and Paul were extremely helpful, friendly hosts and I had everything I needed for a very cosy, comfortable stay, with beautiful view across the meadow. Very tastefully styled and well equipped too. Charlie organised a yoga class in the big chill out tent for a few of us which was extra special and the hot tub was especially magical at nighttime under the stars.

A perfect weekend. Host was brilliant. Bell tent was amazing. Location is great. Great local pub with fantastic food Hannah recommended just a short walk. The surrounding is quaint and beautiful. The campsite has everything you need - camp kitchen / hot showers etc. The hosts also brought out toys for our kids to play with and they just enjoyed being free and catching butterflies in the grass. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend - thanks for having us.

Peter was very friendly, helpful and attentive, and facilitated some extra needs due to having a young son. All the amenities were clean and tidy, including the kitchen space. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lightfoot's farm, would definitely recommend!

We stayed with a group of adults and children for the weekend. Nancy and Richard provided everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, bathroom, and for the kids and dogs. Met us on site, gave great local recommendations and were flexible with check in and out times. Nancy visited daily to stock up on ice packs and have a chat. We’ll be back in the not too distant future hopefully!

This was our 4th visit over 4 consecutive years. We absolutely love Driftaway and would not change a thing about it. We very much look forward to visiting again! Liz and Nigel are fantastic hosts and nothing is ever too much trouble. We highly recommend this gorgeous little getaway! x♡x

I came here with my partner and nine-year-old son and we had a wonderful stay. Philip is such a welcoming and responsive host - I had a few questions prior to our stay, and while we were at the site, and each time he responded along most immediately. The tent itself is very comfortable and spacious with everything you need for a luxury camping experience. The outdoor kitchen was fantastic - it meant we could cook our own meals without forking out for restaurants, and it was so nice to have a proper camping experience. Showers toilet facilities are immaculate, and there is a lovely kitchen area for cleaning up and storing food. The site itself was very quiet and peaceful - I enjoyed reading my book on the swing seat and taking a rest in the hammock, while my son enjoyed roaming around and playing with his football in the grounds. Philip was always around if we needed anything, and there is a fab little honesty shop too! Wonderful experience :)

We stayed for 6 nights in May half term in one of the Safari tents for our first glamping holiday (we had done camping before we had kids), it is idyllic. We are a family with 2 young children (5 and 18 months) in addition my 79 year old father came with us as well as our dog. There was plenty of room for us all in the tent and the facilities were perfect, everything was immaculately presented when we arrived and we had everything we needed. We were out doing something everyday so only used the accommodation during the morning and evening, our only issue was that we couldn't spend a little more time enjoying it! We got lucky with the weather as it only rained on 1 day and that day we were out on Brownsea Island which had good weather, so although it was wet when we returned to the campsite it didn't affect us all that much. The only issue was that since it had been raining during the day and again overnight, that night was noticeably colder than the other nights so we had to start the fire in the wood burner earlier, but we used 2 slow burning bricks in there as per each night and it wasn't really an issue. All instructions and information was clearly laid out, living on a farm is great for the children to enjoy and the honesty shop works really well to allow you to get the basics that you need when you need them. We opted to have some of the homemade pizzas on the first night for convenience, which you need to preorder by 4pm the day before and I would definitely recommend trying these. The staff were incredibly helpful pre, during and post arrival as I enquired if they knew of any local dog boarders since we wanted to spend 2 days doing activities we could not do with our dog. They provided 2 recommendations the one we picked was perfect and allowed us to enjoy our 2 days without worrying about how our dog was. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Safari tents at Gambledown Farm as a fantastic glamping experience for anyone who wants a great staycation with a bit of rustic charm and fantastic access to the New Forest and surrounding attractions.

Had the most beautiful trip! Very last minute booking and we couldn’t be any more thankful that Alex let us book with little notice! Absolutely beautiful location and bell tent. The decking area makes it look absolutely stunning also. So much room for the children to run! Alex was super responsive to questions/queries, sadly we didn’t get to physically meet as we missed each other both days. Toilet/shower area was very clean and looked after, so much information in the hut as you enter the site. Everything you could need in the tent, wood, fire lighters, leaflets of surrounding areas/attractions and the site itself. We were very lucky to have the whole site to ourselves for our short stay! Felt even more luxury. We will be back if it’s with the children or without! All the best The Heir Family x

Lindsay was a perfect host, great, clear instructions and came to say hi just after we arrived. The tent was great, spacious and cosy, fully carpetted with fold out beds. There's a small table and chairs outside the front with a firepit. There are logs available to buy, but we bought our own. Perfect for sitting out till late toasting matshmallows. Very simple with no running water, but there are two toilets. It's peaceful, not crowded and back to nature. We were excited to see our first glowworm! The stars were spectacular. Thank you for a lovely stay.

I enjoyed my stay in a camping pod! Clean, warm and very cozy. Location is 10/10

We had the BEST one night stay, we regretted only booking one night. Host was so helpful and nothing was too much to ask. Pre ordered pizza and was ready before they anticipated so bought to our tent. Location is nothing short of stunning and toilets were very clean and well kept. Beds were comfortable and the tent was beautiful. Couldn’t fault it in anyway and we are already looking forward to out next stay. Thanks so much!!

We had a wonderful stay in Bluebell, toasting marshmallows on the fire and star gazing. The tent and beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen area was lovely, and the showers were hot and powerful. The kids absolutely loved it! Thank you so much, Vivien!

What a beautiful location and fabulous little camp site. Very clean toilets and hot showers. Tom was super helpful and really welcoming. My boys, the dog and I had a lovely short stay that included paddling with ponies in a nearby brook, swimming in the sea and toasting marshmallows on the fire. Perfect!
