Glamping bell tents on a family-run smallholding near Corfe Mullen
Corfe Castle, Studland Bay and Jurassic Coast within 30 minutes' drive
Barbecue firepits available; pub and shop five minutes' drive

Fairy lights, bunting, duvets and proper beds – a classic comfy camping experience awaits guests at Dorset Glamping Fields. Staying in your kitted-out bell tent with plenty of space on this eight-acre meadow site; you’ll have Studland Bay, Corfe Castle and Durdle Door all around half an hour’s drive away. Based on a smallholding and set up by a couple who’ve camped and glamped under the stars all over the world, this family-friendly site is designed to tick as many hassle-free holiday boxes as possible. You might even catch a glimpse of the resident wildlife including rabbits, deer and the more domesticated free-range ducks and chickens. Each party is able to rent a firepit for a spot of campfire cooking. If you prefer to pick up an easy meal there’s a pub within five minutes’ walk and a convenience store, fish and chip shop and other local amenities five minutes’ drive away in Corfe Mullen village. For day trips, being this close to all of Dorset’s highlights will give you a must-see list as long as your arm. Close by you can visit the diverse landscapes of Arne Nature Reserve (25 minutes’ drive), overlooking Poole Harbour dotted with islands. And just round the headland, the sandy expanse of Studland Bay (30 minutes). To the west, the whole of the area of Dorset known as the Isle of Purbeck, including a substantial stretch of the Jurassic Coast, is drivable within 45 minutes. To the east, you can get to the towns of Poole and Bournemouth in 20 minutes. Castles and coves, steam railways and stately homes, pretty villages and adventurous activities – see how much you can squeeze into your stay…

Janine M. Aug 2023

Jurassic bell tent (basic, five person)

Liked: Beautiful scenery, fields, wildflowers and space for kids to roam. Composting toilets were cleanest I’ve ever used and so many little touches, like a small play area for kids, a small microwave and separate oven were perfect for easy cooking on rainy nights. Close to so many wonderful local places to visit and explore! Favourites were definitely Durdle door and Corfe Castle.

Disliked: NA

Purbeck bell tent (deluxe, four person)

Liked: The layout of the tents worked very well, good facilities and friendly staff. I did miss a communal toaster for morning toast like on other glamping sites, but great to have a microwave. Beds were comfortable too smashing all round. Lovely stay

Disliked: 3 toilets on site was plenty, other glamping sites have a single small compost toilet by each bell tent, which was far better.

Jurassic bell tent (basic, five person)

Liked: Clean facilities and a good range - sheltered shared area with kettle, microwave, fridge/freezer and plug sockets alongside washing up area with warm water makes a stay a lot easier. Shower and loos basic but clean and water always warm! Tipis beautifully laid out in the field.

Disliked: We stayed the bank holiday weekend, it is sandwiched between what I believe to be a wedding venue and a pub so their was loud live music until 11 at both venues both nights. Not a bad thing but it would have been nice to be prepared for this by being informed in the advance emails. Also despite it saying 10pm noise down, this was not enforced with one tent in the tent field playing loud music till 3am first night.

Corfe Campers non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: De tent was zeer netjes verzorgd. Staplaats prima. De woonkeuken is heel fijn, vooral bij regen. Fijne douches. Jan en Gordon zijn vriendelijke en behulpzame mensen.

Disliked: Het organische toilet was netjes in z'n soort maar doorspoeltoilet verdient de voorkeur.

Local attractions

Dorset’s brilliant combo of coast and countryside means you won’t be short on outdoorsy activities. Footpaths and cycle routes crisscross the county, just pick the sights you want to ogle at and get plotting. Corfe Castle (20 minutes’ drive), Old Harry Rocks (30 minutes), Lulworth Cove (30 minutes) and Durdle Door (35 minutes) are some of the top spots to aim for. To get out on the water, check out canoe and boat hire options in Poole (10 minutes) and Wareham (15 minutes). Lessons, tours and trips for sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding can be arranged all along the coast as well as coasteering and rock climbing to make the most of the area’s imposing cliffs. Searches show up plenty of options in Swanage, Lulworth and Studland Bay. To keep the kids happy (and anyone else who fancies a slightly less energetic day out), animal entertainments are on hand at Monkey World (20 minutes’ drive) or Sea Life Centre Weymouth (40 minutes).
