Tent vacation rentals in Dorset

We loved every minute - great location and gorgeous views - spacious and comfy. Added bonus with the camp fire pit and own seating. Highly recommend for family’s , friends or couples! The girls and I had a great time so thank you! Host was highly accommodating :D

We had such a great time at Jo’s place! The tent was more than we could have asked for, immaculately clean, great toilet and shower facilities, plenty of space in the living area and great kitchen. The stove was good fun to keep going and cook with, the weather was a bit chilly in the evening and the stove kept the place toasty warm. There was lots of space for the kids to run around and play and due to how the tents were situated you never felt as if you were intruding on any of the other guests. The kids lived visiting the chickens and the piglets each day on the way in and out of the site, they were very inquisitive pigs who run out to say hi when you go by!! We visited swanage, durleston copy they park and studland bay, all great days out with the kids and the dog. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back next year!!

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

Our whole group had a fantastic weekend away at this beautiful spot. The rain didn't dampen our spirits as the facilities were perfect. The gorgeous yurt made a wonderful communal space & the firepit provided a magical outside spot. The tents were very comfortable & had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this private getaway & could not fault it. 10 out of 10!!

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!

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 :)

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 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.

Excellent stay. Exactly what is says on the tin. We stayed for 2 nights on pitch 4 and loved it. We will be back I am sure. Thank you!

Brilliant first glamping trip with our two young girls (3 and 5). The tent was perfect; it had plenty of space for us all and the compost toilet being nearby was really handy. We loved the wild flowers surrounding the tent, the picnic bench and fire pit. Really safe place for girls to run around without worrying. This trip was so easy and comfortable that was are now considering trying camping next. Great first gentle step to win them all over!

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!

Couldn’t recommend this more (although I’d rather no one else discovers this gem so it doesn’t get booked up!) I attended a training day here and knew I had to come back when I saw the view from the camping area- little did I know I’d spend most of my weekend hiding in the woodland, but it was even better than I remembered. So much fun had by all, thank you.

Amazing place! We are so glad we took the time to stop off on our way to Cornwall. The kids absolutely loved it. The hosts were fantastic, with excellent communication before & throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Had such a lovely birthday weekend celebration here at Tatalon! Was a nice getaway and we were kept entertained with the outdoor games, hot tub, bbq and TV! Also got a bottle of bubbly to start our stay in the perfect way. I stayed in October and yet we were still warm and cosy inside with plenty of blankets. Jo was incredibly responsive, friendly and helpful. I recommend this to anyone and will definitely come back here!

We loved the accommodation, it was a really great location and very comfortable. Joey was super helpful and really accommodating. We loved the drink left behind the bar at the local pub courtesy of Joey.

Stopped in for a night to do some cycling in the area. Really nice spot with lovely facilities. The accommodation was excellent and a tranquil site.

Myself and my partner lead busy lives in London and this was the perfect place to forget about it all! Amy and Rob were so kind and friendly and gave us great recommendations of things to do near by. The tent smelt amazing and so clean in such a beautiful private area. We walked all the way to the next village and then walked back and had dinner at the Old Royal Ship (highly recommend the home made pie). Thank you so much to Amy and Rob for hosting us, if your reading these reviews wondering if you should book I highly recommend you do ☺️

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

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👍🏻
