Safari Tent

Our three safari tents are located on the edge of a large meadow, with easy access to a nearby water point and plenty of green space all around you. They are perfect for families who enjoy camping but hate putting up the tent and are sure to provide a unique and memorable camping experience!

The Accommodation

Each tent measures 5 metres by 7 metres, with ample headroom throughout, and the thick canvas keeps the heat out during the summer, and in during the colder months. 

The tents are sited on a raised wooden platform, meaning no soggy ground underfoot, and comes with your own decking area and outdoor furniture with cushions. There’s also an additional picnic table and fire pit, with a bag of logs provided. There is grass parking for one car immediately next to your tent.

Inside you’ll find lights and electric, plus a large sofa, coffee table, hanging clothes storage and dining table. There’s also a mini kitchenette with 2 ring induction hob, toaster, fridge with freezer drawer, kettle for the induction hob and cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment and utensils provided. The tents contain two separate sleeping areas for privacy – one with a super king-size bed and one with two single beds.

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. A washing up bowl and 10 litre water jug are provided to assist with this.

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 king size bed & 2 x single beds), or choose to hire one of our bedding packs. Towels and tea towels are not provided. Please note that where we have twin bedrooms, we do not offer the option to put single beds together to form a double/king, as they are not zip and link beds.

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. It is also worth noting that the deckings are not enclosed, and dogs are not permitted to roam the Parks off-lead, so you’ll need to secure them with a long lead or pen when they’re outside. 

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.

   We had amazing weather whilst staying at Sandyholme with friends. We had great days out at Sculpture by the Lake, Durdle Door and Puddletown Forest. We enjoyed staying in the Safari tent which had great basic provisions and having a fridge is a great addition. We enjoyed the views from the balcony and the space and privacy between the tents.
