Buckland Campsite is located in the village of Nottington, only a short drive from the famous golden sands of Weymouth bay, the Isle of Portland, home of the 2012 Olympic Sailing Events, the famous Jurassic Coast and the historic county town of Dorchester, you will always have something to discover and do!

Here at Buckland Campsite in Dorset you can enjoy a tranquil break in your own exclusive furnished Bell Tent near Weymouth Bay and located in the heart of the rolling hills of the countryside.

Your bell tent will be cleaned and ready for when you arrive - all you need to add is bedding. There are four inflatable beds which can be connected to make doubles, sleeping up to four people, for a comfortable glamping break.

The great features of the glamping bell tents are that they are already pitched on arrival, removing the hassle from camping and allowing for a later arrival if perhaps you are coming for the weekend after work.

There are power sockets, great for charging your phones or running an electric cool box whilst retro furnishings make for a unique experience of glamping on the Jurassic Coast, Dorset.

We absolutely loved how much space we had around our bell tent. Immaculate toilets and linen was clean and fresh.Great fire pit and tables and chairs provided. Loved the bunting and fresh flower pot that brightened the area. Great facilities. Useful shop.

Great value for money. Amnesties were amazing. Do clean and tidy.We loved the Elm pub and visited Bridport which is really worth a visit. Great Wednesday market. Durdle Dor was a little busy in the summer holiday and Lyme Regis was terrible to park.Weymouth was good fun. Nice pubs.Portland Bill is worth a visit and crab sandwich was gorgeous in their restaurant. Maybe worth booking in the summer holiday.

We spent a wonderful 5 days here this August (2025) and enjoyed every moment. The facilities were great, and everyone working on site was so friendly. Completely recommend for a family holiday.

Lovely friendly campsite

Lovely little campsite, my family and I stayed in one of the glamping tents. The beds were very comfy and the bedding was clean and perfect for the conditions both my daughter's slept well. We had a separate shower and toilet block with the tent as part of the glamping package, this was clean and adequate. Shower was nice and warm, and the toilet was a welcome convenience in the night and first thing in the morning. Our tent was we spaced out nicely from other tents allowing space to relax and enjoy the fire pit provided with logs on arrival.

Friendly staff, clean facilities and well run.Quiet site with nice simple play areas in game room and shop.Bell tents were excellent. Comfortable beds, good size, nice seating, clean/excellent private bathroom unit. Kids loved firepit with wood provided. Nice location in countryside but close enough for short drive to seafront or park and ride.

Perfect except for nighttime lighting

Absolutely love this place!First time glamping and definitely not the last.Great facilities, peaceful, amazing staff.Only downside for us was the outside light on the glamping ensuite facilities. Light came on at 9pm and stayed on all night which shone brightly into the tent. Was like sleeping with the lights on!I can not fault anything else but was significant enough for us to consider other options.

Perfect getaway

We booked glamping for 4 nights as a last min getaway and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Tent was lovely and clean, shower and toilet on our pitch was a huge bonus. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We loved the fire pit and hadn’t realised the pitch came with a welcome box for that too. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us and the campsite was peaceful with plenty of space for the kids to roam if they wanted too. Perfect location so close to Weymouth as well. It was so lovely to turn up and have everything there ready to go. Cannot recommend it enough. We will definitely return and probably book a longer stay.

We had a very enjoyable 5 day stay in a Bell tent. The staff were friendly and helpful and everything was very clean. We visited Weymouth, Lulworth Castle and the Haynes motor museum, all of which were excellent. Our boys had a great time playing football on the campsite with other campers. We will definitely be returning!

Very comfortable bell tent stay

The site, which is in a lovely rural setting, is very well placed for Weymouth. Charmaine and Ian, who we remember from our last stay, are always extremely helpful and friendly and keep the site running to a very high standard. We loved the bell tent and will definitely use it again in preference to our tent. One of the main advantages for us was the private shower and toilet facilities that are allocated to each bell tent. Worth every penny. The addition of a communal fridge in the laundry room since our last stay is also a plus point. It was a little crammed and the site could probably use another one but it makes the camping experience far easier to manage. Perhaps you could consider a longer season for the bell tents?

Wonderful stay

When we arrived we were met by Ian, who could not have been more friendly and welcoming. The campsite looked really well looked after. Our bell tent was ready when we arrived and was very clean and tidy. The toilet, showering and washing up facilities were fantastic. Having the children’s play frame and the games room was brilliant and there was plenty of room to run around. Overall, our stay was the perfect camping experience, really.
