Located in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views over the tumbling hills to the sea beyond, Mapperton Camps provides a haven of calm and an opportunity to reconnect with the wonders of our natural world.

Our two luxury bell tents are based at Coltleigh, a 200 acre rewilded area called Mapperton Wildlands which has recently been handed back to nature.  A herd of stunning White Park cattle – an ancient English breed – now roam the local pasture, while a profusion of birds, butterflies and wildflowers adorn the landscape.

You can walk along the paths at Coltleigh and explore its extraordinary biodiversity, or join one of our Wildlands Tours.  Or you can amble down the hill to Mapperton House & Gardens and visit the Coach House café.  The Jurassic Coast is only fifteen minutes away, and there are numerous outstanding pubs and restaurants within just a few minutes drive.

Our 6 metre glamping tents are spacious and contain many home comforts, including a hand-built king size bed made with locally sourced wood, Egyptian cotton linen, a wood burner for chillier evenings, a cool box, board games, carefully selected books, as well as an outside fire pit for camp-side cooking and extra warmth. You’ll be keen to switch off, but if you need to stay in touch there is excellent 4G mobile signal, and each tent also has its own compost lavatory and hot shower unit.
