Our Bell Tent Village provides a camping experience with a difference, consisting of 9 bell tents each sleeping roughly 6 children or 5 adults. You can bring additional tents if there are more of you.
Midweek, term time, the Bell Tent Village is typically used by school pupils on residential visits to the centre.
At weekends and during the school holidays the Bell Tent Village can be booked on its own, or alongside some or all of our indoor accommodation, to enable groups to come and make the most of our fantastic centre and location.
Guests need to bring their own sleeping mat, pillow and sleeping bag.
Please note that no dogs are allowed on site (except for trained, registered assistance dogs – please let us know at the time of booking if you need to bring an assistance dog).
The Base Camp building room sits next to the Bell Tent Village and has:
Wi-Fi is available in the Base Camp and reaches most of the bell tents.
Our bell tents are pitched in April and taken down in early October.
