About Glamping at Parley by PitchingIt

Escape to the beautiful Parley Estate in Dorset and stay in one of the pre-erected bell tents for a peaceful, off-grid glamping getaway. Nestled on a picturesque four-acre site, you'll be surrounded by stunning scenery. With Adventure Wonderland just five minutes drive away and the stunning Bournemouth Beach just 15 minutes away, there's no shortage of fun-filled activities to enjoy nearby. Each five-metre tent can comfortably sleep up to either four or six guests, with full head height and flexible layouts. You'll be provided with raised double camp beds (two in the four person tents, and three in the six person tents) with airbed toppers, duvets, pillows, and linen, as well as storage boxes and lights, so you can relax and enjoy your stay. Plus, the site is dog-friendly, so your four-legged friend can also come along for the adventure.

Bell Tent - Bell Tents (Sleeps Six)Aug 2023

Nice little campsite next to an airport, where the kids loved watching the planes taking off. Luckily isn't busy so didn't Interrupt our sleep. Tent is nice and spacious, consists of 3 airbeds on stands with bedding and a torch, no seating area outside so bring your own chairs and also don't expect a firepit - you have to hire it at a charge of £10 for firepit and wood or £20 for pit, wood, coals, marshmallows. Toilet facilities are ok, not the best. Showers looked clean and spacious, although didn't use as only stayed 1 night. They have an onsite shop there that sells firewood for £7.50 and you get a much bigger bag, highly recommend. Didn't use any other facilities to comment. Site is nice, horses to the side that you can see, golf club has nice grounds and pretty flowers.

Lovely stay

Olivia was so helpful and accommodating and sent a welcome text in the morning with clear instructions. It was a well managed and clean site. Only thing that we found a little difficult was the showers only have one temperature setting, which was too hot for the children.
