Campsite that hires bell tents as well as traditional pitches

hello! Hoping to find a site that rents bell tents (or would allow you to have a co. set one up for you), as well as having traditional pitches. I'm looking to get a large group of friends and family together next may to celebrate DH's 40th, and this solution would cover cost/comfort issues that will surely arise in a large group. South east england is location I'm looking at with Berkshire area as the ideal. Would love a recommendation vs random google search.
Thanks!
:-)

Wowo in Sussex allow a certain company they know to come in and pitch teepee type tents for you next to ordinary pitches. But it was pretty expensive as I recall - about £250 or something for a weekend. If you'd be happy with that kind of price, I'd recommend Wowo for a large group.

Welsummer Camping near Maidstone in Kent have bell tents as well as ordinary pitches too.

Oh and Palace Farm in Kent also have some bell tents by the looks of things as well as ordinary pitches This was also a really nice campsite.

www.palacefarm.com/camping.html

Ps. All the sites above allow campfires which is a big plus imo.

I was going to say Welsummer.

Also check UK Campsite and look under their specialist search list for 'glamping' by region.

Thanks blu! Have checked the site, but didn't see the glamping section... Very good tip :-)

might be too far south, but long thorn farm certainly do.
There is a site in Royston Herts, called love lane, and they have a field you can rent out for 5 tents as a group THT

UK Campsite Glamping search list UK Campsite is a bit tricky to navigate to begin with.

Lots of sites now have pre-erected bell tents. Try Bouncers Farm and why not ask NettleTea if she will be up and running by May? She has pre-erected v nice tents as well as camping places.

Sorry - no Berkshire knowledge, but check CampsiteUK.

Tried a few, but didn't get any replies to my emails.

Have gone with a place in Wales instead, as got glowing rec from my friend.

Thanks for the help!
