Studland bell tent
Liked: Lovely small campsite which suited us perfectly. Great location. The children played with the other children on the site, which was lovely. The kids games tent was a bonus. Good showers and toilets.
Disliked: Didn’t dislike anything only issues, which were very minor, was the lights in our tent didn’t work and the kettle didn’t have the limescale guard.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I really am so sorry the lights in your tent didnt work. Sometimes the batteries run out after we have checked them. I have plenty more and if you had let me know i could have given you some. I also apologise there was no limescale guard, thank you for letting me know, i will replace this.
Excellent site, lovely owner, great for kids, peaceful location.

Lulworth bell tent
Liked: Fantastic campsite! The owner is so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Just seven bell tents so a lovely atmosphere where you can get to know other campers. Great yurt and games for the kids, clean showers and toilets and a well-equipped kitchen. Fire pits and fairy lights were a great touch and the peaceful location was perfect for us.
Disliked: Nothing!

From the manager: Nina i am so sorry to hear about the boy racers in the middle of the night, and no idea where they would have been as we are a long way from a main road. So happy you enjoyed the rest of your trip and looking forward to seeing you next year.

Studland bell tent
Liked: Excellent find on Pitch up.com Lovely little campsite with only 7 Bell tents. We stayed in 'Studland'. Good value for money. We booked 3 of the 7 tents for our group of families for a 2 night stay. Double bed in each tent. We took air beds for the kids. Toilets, showers and a shared kitchen on site with fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle plates etc. A yurt for the kids to play in filled with toys and games. Outdoor toys and a football goal. Lovely quiet location. Weather was horrendous so we found the local pub (only a 2 min walk luckily). Site owner very friendly and helpful. Child and dog friendly. Will definately stay again!

Weymouth bell tent
Liked: Everything - communications pre-arrival good and open, welcome on site was warm, flexibility shown in accommodating us which was most welcome. Most importantly from getting there through to leaving we loved our time on site and the location being so close to numerous things to do. Other families staying there seemed similarly v happy and it was a friendly easy-going atmosphere with kids playing together, camp fires lighting up the night sky, etc. Definitely check out the New Inn for their carvery if you’re there on a Sunday - strongly recommended! Thank you again to Sophia and her family for a very comfortable, happy stay - we hope to be back before too long!

Liked: Everything. Sophia and Mike offered amazing service and real attention to detail making our stay brilliant. The campsite is lovely and immaculate. There was a really nice atmosphere. Lots of practical things have been thought of like kitchen equipment and games for the kids. Dorset itself was beautiful with lots to do. A week wasn’t long enough!
