Description

Our bell tent is located on the edge of a large meadow, with easy access to a nearby water point and plenty of green space. Perfect for families who enjoy camping but hate putting up the tent! It’s a large, circular tent, 5 metres in diameter and with a high ceiling at the centre. The white canvas keeps the inside feeling bright and there’s plenty of vents to let air in.

The Accommodation

The tent is sited on a gravel area and comes with your own picnic table and fire pit, with a bag of logs provided.

There is grass parking for one car close by. Inside you’ll find a double bed and two singles, and plenty of floor space. There’s also lights, a heater, storage drawers and plug sockets for your electrical essentials. You’ll need to use the facility blocks for toilets, showers and washing up, either in the main area of the Park, or in a neighbouring meadow during high season.

This tent can sleep up to 4 people and 3 dogs. All bookings must contain one adult over the age of 18.

Bed Linen

Duvets and pillows are provided and you will need to bring your own bedding (1 x double bed & 2 x single beds), or choose to hire one of our bedding packs. You’ll also need to bring your own towels and tea towels. 


Dogs

A complimentary dog welcome pack is included for all bookings with dogs. Please note, dogs are not permitted on beds, so you may wish to bring a dog bed from home, so they feel comfortable.

Extras

Wifi can be purchased on arrival, either online via Paypal, or via the Park Reception. Further on in the booking process you will have the option to add extras to your booking, including extra flexibility cover or accidental damage cover. You can also hire bedding packs, travel cots or high chairs, which will be in your accommodation on arrival. 

 

Arrival & Departure 

Check In: From 4pm 

Check Out: By 9:30am 

The accommodation has a key box for a contactless check-in, so there is no need to visit the Park Reception upon arrival. We do not offer the ability to book early check-in or late check-outs. 

 
About the Park

Sandyholme is a small, quiet Park, tucked away in a secluded village location on the edge of the Isle of Purbeck. The Park is surrounded by woodland and rolling fields, with very little passing traffic.

On-park, children can enjoy the play area and large playing field with football goals. There's a wildlife lake with ducks and wild birds, a small park shop in the park reception, a dog exercising meadow and a nature trail. During peak dates, there' also food takeaway vans. Up the road at the village of Owermoigne is Wild Partridge Farm Shop - independent and family run.

Just 5 miles from the coast at Ringstead Bay, you’re within easy reach of some of Dorset’s most famous and popular places to visit, including Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Weymouth Beach, Studland Bay and Old Harry Rocks.

Nearby attractions within a 30 minute drive include Monkey World, The Tank Museum, The Etches Collection, Corfe Castle, Dorset Mud Trail, Dorset Waterpark, Sea Life Adventure Park, Swanage Railway, Blue Pool Nature Reserve, Dorset Falconry Park, Sculpture by the Lakes, Athelhampton House & Gardens, Tolpuddle Martyr's Museum, Kingston Maurward Animal Park & Gardens, Carey's Secret Garden and Farmer Palmer's Farm Park.

    Loved that Sandyholme is such a petit and quiet site despite being so family friendly. It's close enough to places like Weymouth and Dorchester to make it easy to go off site and do things but also out of the way enough to feel like your camping almost in the middle of nowhere and you can really enjoy the stars at night without much light pollution and there's no roads closeby making noise. It also had space for both dogs and children which was great for helping run off steam and over-excitement. The duck lake is also lovely for a gentle, calming stroll. My youngest particularly loved seeing all the ducks!

    The site is excellent, well run, the other guests were friendly and respectful of others, the shared facilities are really nice and kept very clean. Last, but definitely not least, the staff were truly lovely, welcoming and informative of things to do and see in the local area. They made our stay even more special. 10/10

    Stay was great, the bell tent was really spacious and had everything I needed. The bed was comfy and I thought the campsite as a whole was really brilliant with lovely facilities.
