Tent vacation rentals in River Thames

We had a great trip here with friends - the safari tent was exactly as described and perfect for what we wanted! Liz was a great host, responsive if we needed anything but equally left us to our own privacy. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings but not too far from local amenities and village life! Would definitely recommend!

Give this a try ! Haven’t been camping since I was a kid but this is well worth a go, we had a magnificent bbq on the little bbq that was with the tent & spent 2 lovely evenings here, all the little home amenities supplied were fab & I would definitely return. 🤗

tony was very helpful indeed and made sure we had a good time! it's practical...plenty of fridges and BBQ space as well as room to play cricket. the only downside is that the site isn't totally secluded as there's another house nearby. overall we had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay. The safari tent was comfortable, had all of the amenities we needed and held up very well during a storm on one of the nights. It's a fantastic location if you're visiting The Watercress Line.

Myself and 16 other University students stayed at the campsite for 2 nights and can definitely say we all had an incredible time. Tony was absolutely brilliant, communicating very well prior to booking, the days leading up to the trip and during our stay. He helped us with directions, local takeaways (which was extremely helpful for our large group) and was very easy to contact if we had any issues throughout our stay. The campsite was spotless when we arrived, all toilets and shower facilities were in good clean and working order. Would highly recommend booking this campsite for a peaceful, countryside getaway.

We had a great stay in the bell tent thank you. The campsite is just lovely. Peaceful. Well maintained. Clean amenities. The tent was well equipped and thoughtfully done. The double bed was lovely and comfortable, clean and well presented. The little sofa beds for the kids could be updated as they weren’t very comfortable for my kids unfortunately. Wonderful stay though and we’d love come back.

Loved the gorgeous bell tents, the food offered on site was delicious and amenities were great! only slight issue was the toilets being a bit of a walk from the glamping tents. I’d expect them to be nearer to the toilet so trips in the night weren’t as bad. Would love to stay again and fellow campers were all so lovely. We easily got the bus into Oxford and back. Easy day out with 2 small children and a Granny. Definitely recommend!!

Lovely location. Outside space was perfect for the kids. Plenty of space for outdoor activities. Nothing like we’ve stayed in before, kids loved it. Nice and quiet. The pigs in the field next to the tent came right over for belly rubs! Nice and clean inside and has everything you need. Would definitely return. 10/10

I made a last minute booking and received a prompt response. I felt welcome and at ease, thoroughly enjoyed the host’s company and laughter. The landscape is breathtaking and the tent was cosy. I felt like a fairy nestled in a forest. I was offered some raspberries and a tour of the land, with a natural pool and horses around. Thank you. Warm wishes to you and yours. Anastasia.

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.

Great location, secluded and yet very well-equipped. Amazing if you’re looking to get away for a bit. Fantastic surroundings too!

Great host, thanks.

We had a lovely cozy night in Cedar. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here with our children (5 and 2). It was their first experience of glamping and we couldn't have hoped for better. Beautiful yurt with spotlessly clean facilities in an idyllic location. We'll be back! Colin was a great host. Thank you!

Amazing stay and amazing host! Zoe is fab 100% would recommend :)

We loved our little getaway to the tents. It’s such a beautiful place in the orchard. The tent is comfortable and bigger than I thought. The outdoor shower is great, very hot and easy to use. I loved all the sheep with their lambs everywhere. We had the Friday dinner and 2 breakfasts at Stubbs cafe, all the food was great. The pancakes and coffee were excellent but the food we had at the dinner on Friday was really good, top quality meal at a very reasonable price. They only do it on Fridays at the moment so if you are staying on a Friday I’d suggest booking a table. The service was great at the restaurant too, everyone was lovely. Phillip was so helpful and lovely too. The other tents are far enough away that we barely even noticed them. It was like we had the orchard to ourselves. We really wanted to disconnect and relax and that’s exactly what we got. We will be back!

LOVED this place. Had a hen do with my sister and a group of 14 friends and it was perfect for it. Even though it rained, we had a great time. Minty was also incredibly helpful and communicative. Great place - would definitely recommend for big groups of people.

A great night with the family here and made to feel very welcome. Great secluded spot up on the hill and near the pub for a rainy night! Gorgeous sunny views in the morning too.

We arrived in heavy rain which couldn’t dampen the beauty of the site. Morag and all the staff there were amazing, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect site, from being on the river edge, kayaking, animals and how friendly everyone was. It was great having a pre pitched tent with everything we needed and a comfy bed. We were also provided with free firewood you could chopped yourself. Others sites charge a fortune for firewood, so it’s great to find no hidden costs. As a whole everything on the site was accessible and we could feed all the animals and even hold the chicks 🐥. It exceeded our expectations. Can’t wait for next summer to go. Would highly recommend, fantastic for a back to nature experience without the hassle of bringing everything with you.

Great place, some really nice touches like the logs, eggs , cookies and fresh bread! Extremely comfortable, very peaceful. We were working nearby so didn’t have time to fish, I’ll definitely be coming back and next time will be a fishing trip.

a wonderful place to stay with great surroundings and facilities

Our family glamping trip with my 18x month old grandson has been absolutely amazing we had everything we could need in our bell tent for our two night stay. Vivian has been an incredible host sharing local walks and things to do as well as showing us everything we would need on the campsite. It was great value for money as we only had to pack bedding for a single bed, food & clothes as everything else was provided for us. We will definitely be back in the future

What a little haven, just what we needed for our 2 year old daughters first night under the stars, and dingo the pony and olive the goat where the cherry’s on the cake. Thanks for a great stay, hope to come back to dogwood.

We had an incredible stay at Rosie the wagon. This is glamping at its finest with lots to do in the surrounding town. The stay comes with plenty of firewood for your own personal fire pit and charcoal for your own personal grill. I did not expect to have a full kitchen in Rosie so make sure you pack all the fixings for a fun cookout. Sam and Joanna made sure to give us great advice on things to see and do, even dropping us off in their retro Land Rover. We will definitely be back!
