Bell tent hire and campfire site

Hi All
Does anyone know a naturalist campsite within a couple of hours of London that has at least 3 bell tents to hire and lets others in a group with own tents pitch beside hired tents.

Also needs a big space near tents for kids to run without fear of cars (have a few tiny ones).

We have been to Welsummer in Kent a few times which is perfect (in case anyone looking for similar) but just fancied a change really.

Thanks Miss Wimpy! Btw meant natural and not naturalist! Wondered for a minute whether I was asking for a nudist one!

I must admit I thought at first you meant naturist but when I saw you had been to Welsummer I figured not! Would have made for an interesting thread though.

Don't have anything useful to add I am afriad as although I have been to loads of sites that close to London, I can't think of any that I know hire bell tents. However, it is worth looking on //www.ukcampsite.co.uk as they do allow you to search for specific things and glamping sites is one of them (ie. places that hire bells, yurts etc). They also have a naturist search option, just in case you change your mind....

We have 1 bell tent with 2 camping pods if that helps? There is also a tent pitch alongside. Each pitch has a campfire pit...

Can you imagine THE COLD of naked camping? I am hoping Welsummer is not going to get an influx of unwanted nudists now - nothing against nudists you understand! Your site looks lovely Brassica but afraid we will likely need 3/4 bell tents and space for a 2 or 3 other tents - there are quite a few of us!

I was going to suggest Welsummer.

There is a Naturist campsite in Weybourne, in N Norfolk - it looks very nice!

The Orchard Site does pre-erected tents but they aren't bell tents..is the 'bell' bit important?

"Pre-erected" and "naturist" in the same discussion! This thread is going to get all sorts of disappointed Google traffic ;)
