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.

The site has three camps which together can accommodate up to a maximum of 17 people.

Each camp is self contained with two bedroom tents and it's own fully equipped kitchen tent. The bedroom tents have duvets and pillows for four people, however the larger tents are roomy enough for extra people if you bring mattresses and sleeping bags/bedding allowing up to to six people per camp.

Or why not get a group of friends together and hire the whole site exclusively for yourselves. So far we have welcomed birthday parties, hen and stag weekends and even wedding celebrations. The site can be booked for short stays except during the peak holiday time. Throughout the season we offer a discounted price for whole site weekly bookings - good for families who wish to holiday together.

CAMP 1 - Suitable for up to 5 people.
14' tent with double bed, and a 12' tent with twin beds + kitchen tent. 

CAMP 2 - Suitable for up to 6 people.
14' tent with double bed, and a 14' tent with twin beds + kitchen tent. 

CAMP 3 - Suitable for up to 6 people.
16' tent with double bed, and a 12' tent with twin beds + kitchen tent. 

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

The Bedroom Tents have raised wooden floors, real beds, carpets, rugs & wall linings, chest of drawers, bedside tables, tea-lanterns and solar light.

There are beds for two people in each tent with duvets, pillows and blankets but please bring your own linen. If you are bringing extra people, we do have three spare foam mattresses and a travel cot so please indicate on the booking form if you would like to reserve any.

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 for up to six people 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 is wood fired - so you don't need to bring charcoal - and can even be used in rainy weather. Wood is provided for the campfire, barbeque and woodburner in the 'bar' tent.

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 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.

May is here and the season is well underway now. Luckily the weather has improved after a very wet April. We had a wedding party here a couple of weeks ago on what proved to be the only sunny week that month.

The shower block is looking lovely with the new terracotta tile floor, and the new design kitchen tents are a vast improvement on the old ones.
