Welcome to the Belle Tents Camping website. Please scroll down this page for details of our camping tents and kitchens, and use the links on the left for more information.

Stay in a beautiful, fully kitted-out Belle Tent here at Owls Gate on our small, private site with campfire. Beds, duvets and fully equipped kitchen tents are all provided, just bring linen, food and yourselves.

The whole site caters for a total of 17 people in 3 camps. Each camp has two bedroom tents and a kitchen tent, and can accommodate up to a maximum of 6 people. In other words, it's a bit like a two bedroom cottage - only without the cottage.  

Or, why not get a group of friends together and hire the whole site for yourselves. There is a discounted price for whole site weekly bookings.

The Sleeping Tents have raised wooden floors, carpets, rugs & wall linings. Each has either a real double bed or two singles, chest of drawers, bedside tables, tea-lanterns and solar light. We provide duvets, pillows and extra blankets but please bring your own linen.

The Kitchen Tents have their own stand-pipe and, as all the water here is from a bore-hole, it tastes delicious. The kitchens are fully equipped with pans, crockery and utensils, gas hob and fridge, storage boxes, tables and chairs, solar light - in other words everything you would need to cook up a gourmet meal.

The 'bar' and recreation tent for social gatherings, bring your own wine or beer. There is a woodburner, fridge/freezer for drinks, powered speakers for Mp3 players etc. plus power points for mobile phones. The tent is also nice to be in during wet days for playing our collection of board games or thrashing your friends on our original 1970's football table. Wanted: the footie table takes the old, large 10p - or 2 shilling - pieces. We had about £5 worth to start with but many have got lost, so if you have any in the back of a cupboard you would like to donate to us we would be very grateful.

The Showers & Toilets are in a purpose built building with two toilets, two showers and two hand basins with Ecover hand soap, hand towels and also a hair-dryer. There is a further shower and toilet in our nearby workshop which also has a washing machine and drying lines.
On the outside of the shower building is a covered washing up area with Ecover washing up liquid.

The campfire and barbeque area is a great place to sit of an evening, tell stories and gaze at the stars. The fully equipped covered barbeque area can even be used in rainy weather. You don't need to bring charcoal.

See Campsite Layout for a plan of the campsite showing positions of the tents and kitchens etc.

There is an additional field that is planted with bamboos and huge grasses with paths to wander round plus a green space with a badminton net and football goal. Our own hens also live in the field giving us lovely fresh eggs - so please don't bring eggs with you.

We are sorry but for various reasons we cannot allow dogs on site. However there are a very good kennels about 3 miles away at Collans Cross:- http://www.collanscross.co.uk 

This year we will open on Friday 6th April and close on Monday 1st October.

We hope everyone had a warm and merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Spring will be upon us before we know it and snowdrops are already in flower. Mind you, winter hasn't really happened yet with no frost at all, the roses are blooming and even the tender climber is still full of flower. I'm sure that will all change in the next week or two.

The re-flooring of the shower block with terrracotta tiles is nearly complete and is looking lovely.
We have also finished making the new design kitchen tent. These will have solid floors and be a bit more practical than the old style.

The old kitchen tents are now for sale, so if you would like one please go to:
