Relax with Bell Tent Rental on Bryher Campsite

Our beautiful bell tents are "ready tents" - fully kitted out so you can just turn up, put the kettle on, and chill out. Everything is supplied for you - from the air mattresses to the cooker. All you need to bring is bedding and linen of your choice.

Our Bell Tents offer the perfect base for exploring the Isles of Scilly. Whilst it's very much still camping, we've tried to think of everything to make your holiday in our Bell Tents perfect...

Important Bell Tent Booking Information

There's some key information below, but you must read and agree to our full terms and conditions during the booking process.

  • Your booking is secured by paying a non-refundable Booking Deposit of 35% of the booking cost.
  • Please notify us of any changes to your booking at least eight weeks before arrival; we'll accommodate these wherever possible.
  • Amendments or cancellations within eight weeks of arrival will result in the original balance being due unless the space can be re-let. This includes cancellations for illness, weather, travel disruption or other factors, so we strongly recommend you take out travel insurance to cover all forms of cancellation or delay.
  • Check-in for our Bell Tents is after 4 pm (though we always try and get the tent ready earlier). We'll ask you to vacate by 10 am on your departure day.
  • If the campsite is closed by Covid-19 restrictions, we will offer to transfer your Booking Deposit within the same calendar year.
  • The balance of your booking is due at the end of your stay, before departure from the campsite.

Please note we do not allow dogs on the campsite.
