Tent vacation rentals in Dorset

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!

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.

The most perfect place!!! Could not have had a more enjoyable time. The views, the facilities, the showers, the beautiful tipis and the local pub ❤️❤️❤️ thank you

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

Absolutely fab weekend away! This place is such a unique experience and has great facilities, including comfy beds and sofas, pots and pans, games, table tennis, and cool boxes which makes a camping trip super easy for everyone. We will definitely be returning next year!

We had a great time here. The location was picturesque and there was plenty to do on our week long stay. The tent was ideal and surprised us with how roomy it was. Check in was easy as in they text to let you know it’s ready and you just turn up at your tent. Each tent has a BBQ kettle, fire pit, two deckchairs and a large beanbag so lounging outside is to be encouraged. The views are great and the animals on site are friendly enough. The only gripe we have (completely not anything the venue can solve) is the Earwigs! They get absolutely everywhere! If you’re going to stay here then be prepared and maybe bring some airtight containers (even then they’d find a way in!). The play barn area and farm activities are spot on and there’s a lot to do to keep you entertained and although you have to pay, if you’re staying on site then it’s pay once and use as many times as you like after. We ate at The Cow twice whilst we were here and the food was great, service was spot on and for a reasonable price as well. We had a great time here and we’ll definitely be making a return visit, albeit we’ll probably try a lodge next time round. Thanks for having us!

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

The tent was amidst nature and felt peaceful throughout, 4 of us in our mid-20s stayed together although it would better suited for a family in terms of the sleeping situation. There was a seating area outside the tent along with a campfire area for cooking (ps: bring your own charcoal and cooking utensils) There is a coastal path near the property (15min walk), although you get there via road crossing the ferry. We had to leave before the 2nd night due to our return ferry timing but we enjoyed the time spent on site.

Absolutely beautiful place and location. The hot tub was amazing to be in and looking out on to the surroundings. The bell tent was spacious and clean and the bed was so comfortable! 100% would recommend and look forward to a return trip

We were pleasantly surprised by what awaited us and to be honest, the description or photographs do not do justice to the quality and aesthetics of the accommodation. My family spent a truly magical evening here, sitting around a fire-pit, eating an alfresco meal and then watching the stars.

**Amazing Stay in a Cosy Yurt!** We had a wonderful stay in Suzanne’s yurt. The place was cosy, clean, and offered great value for money. Suzanne was incredibly friendly and chatty, making us feel right at home. The views from the yurt were simply beautiful, adding to the overall peaceful and relaxing experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay!

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.

What a fantastic weekend I have had with my partner and two girls (5 & 8) The perfect place to switch off and just enjoy real quality family time around the fire pit! We loved exploring the area, within the copse there are swings and a platform built up on the trees where the view is just stunning. The ideal place for little minds to use their imaginations! The bell tent was comfy and clean, extra blankets needed for those chilly nights which Simon provided. Simon was the best host- so friendly and happy to help with absolutely anything, nothing was a problem! He sent us a guidebook with places to visit around the area, lots to do and see! Could not recommend this place enough if you are wanting to re-set and get away.

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!!

Great little stay for a night away with the family. Its a simple camping field, but quiet and with what you need. The kids loved the animals staying next to the tents and plenty of space to run around. Wood can be provided to have fires, and we were given animal feed for free to feed the goats. Inside the tipi is spacious and the 3 beds are of good quality

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!

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.

Beautiful location, very private and incredibly clean and tidy inside and out, Hollie is a very friendly and helpful host, will definitely visit again!

We had a brilliant stay in Heathers safari tent. It was perfect for what we wanted, a lovely location to set up camp for a few nights with the kids and explore the area. Brilliant value, comfortable and spacious. Beautifully quiet area. Heather was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The treats on arrival were a lovely touch. Thank you for having us. 100% recommend. We will be back one day!

Just to start, we were quite skeptical about camping especially with two kids (3 and 5) but I should say that our experience with Camp Wight was unexceptably briliant as the place is really secure, safe and clean provided with clean WC service including warm shower! There are also different sinks with drinking water for refreshment as well as washing up the dishes. Moreover, there are BBQ pits with burning wood availeable to enjoy a nice evening within a frieldly atmosphere. in addition, as the tents are provided with fly net - however the weather was very warm, the number of insects were little- one should keep the nets closed or it helps to take your own fly net for the kids! Also, it worth mentioning that every tent comes with a gas cooker as well as a kettle! Also, glamping is available if interested, we may try it for winter! The essential stuff: Light and Torch; toilet tisues; bin liner; washing up liquid and hand wash. Finally, we should thank the management, and their hard work, to provide such a great space which was an amazing adventure for us and our kids - our 3 year old is still talking about our spacious and beautiful tent! We will definitly go back. A big thumbse up to Camp wight and the Isle of Wight👍🏻

Lovely place to "Glamp". We only stayed one night but there is enough stuff to keep you occupied for a few days. Daisy - our 6 Berth Bell Tent - was great. Enough space for all 6 of us. Would book again for sure.

We had a wonderful night's stay and wish we could have stayed for longer. Absolute bliss from the moment we got there: just the sounds of the birds and the rustle of the trees. Hoping to return again in the future (twice a year if the kids get their way as they lived the selection of games there to borrow). Attention to detail was second to none. Thankyou so much!!

Absolutely wonderful stay. A perfect get away from the noise break. Tents were fab and we liked the honestly shop to charge phones etc. Highly 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!
