Tent vacation rentals in River Thames

We had a great trip here with friends - the safari tent was exactly as described and perfect for what we wanted! Liz was a great host, responsive if we needed anything but equally left us to our own privacy. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings but not too far from local amenities and village life! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely beautiful ! It was the most relaxing weekend I’ve had in years ! The views are stunning, the bed was super comfortable and warm ! The tent is full of everything you could possibly need Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to completely relax with nobody around and there is so much to do in the surrounding areas. We live not too far from the location and it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, completely secluded Amazing ! We will be back soon !

We enjoyed our stay. The safari tent was comfortable, had all of the amenities we needed and held up very well during a storm on one of the nights. It's a fantastic location if you're visiting The Watercress Line.

If you want remote, peace, nature, the real safari feel, and from your glamping tent the most beautiful view, go and stay here

What a truly incredible place to have found. Buffy's tents are like a little bit of paradise, nestled in the beautiful countryside. Our family enjoyed a blissful week, with everything you could possibly have needed accounted for and by far the best glamping experience we have had. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot wait to return! Thank you Buffy and Hugh

We had a fun stay! lovely area and the canoes were great fun! the firepit made it for us! and the walks along the river. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper like me. there are lots of animal noises in the night. Paul was very friendly. Just what we needed to be away and at one with nature

A really superb stay, the best camping setup that I’ve ever had. The facilities were brilliant, the woods were great, secluded but easy to get to, and there are really good local villages with a range of pubs. We hired the electric bikes too, which were awesome. We’re already planning to go back.

Great glamping experience. Jacqueline was a great host! Feeding the lamas was enjoyable for kids and adults in the morning. Jacqueline had provided a bag of starter wood and logs next to the tent so we could do a fire in the pit provided. When we came back later on from dinner and from getting marshmallows to roast, someone else in the campsite had taken our bag (agh) but Jacqueline sorted us out the best she could by putting together bits of wood she could find. Lesson learnt to pack the bag of logs in the boot of our car, at any future campsite! Nothing to do with Jacqueline or the campsite, our stay was lovely.

Zoe's bell tent was beautiful ly set up with everything we needed for a great camp weekend. The tent was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The fire pit and private view was fantastic and the kitchen that was converted for a horse cart made it perfect for an camp weekend we all went had to do was arrive.

My parents stayed in the bell tent for the weekend and loved it! They said check in was quick and it was very clean and peaceful! They would defiantly go back! Also very close to Silverstone!

We had an amazing stay!! We hired the whole venue for a family 40th. There was plenty of room for us all and lots of different areas to sit and socialise. Nice comfortable big beds, the kitchen was fully equipped and the showers were nice and warm! We enjoyed the BBQS, firepit and pizza ovens! Really lovely peaceful and private space and Minty was available and helpful throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend!! Thank you

Had the most wonderful couple of nights at Hedgeberry Farm. The tent was incredible & surroundings stunning. Nick & Alison were wonderful hosts! Thanks so much.

We stayed for 6 nights in May half term in one of the Safari tents for our first glamping holiday (we had done camping before we had kids), it is idyllic. We are a family with 2 young children (5 and 18 months) in addition my 79 year old father came with us as well as our dog. There was plenty of room for us all in the tent and the facilities were perfect, everything was immaculately presented when we arrived and we had everything we needed. We were out doing something everyday so only used the accommodation during the morning and evening, our only issue was that we couldn't spend a little more time enjoying it! We got lucky with the weather as it only rained on 1 day and that day we were out on Brownsea Island which had good weather, so although it was wet when we returned to the campsite it didn't affect us all that much. The only issue was that since it had been raining during the day and again overnight, that night was noticeably colder than the other nights so we had to start the fire in the wood burner earlier, but we used 2 slow burning bricks in there as per each night and it wasn't really an issue. All instructions and information was clearly laid out, living on a farm is great for the children to enjoy and the honesty shop works really well to allow you to get the basics that you need when you need them. We opted to have some of the homemade pizzas on the first night for convenience, which you need to preorder by 4pm the day before and I would definitely recommend trying these. The staff were incredibly helpful pre, during and post arrival as I enquired if they knew of any local dog boarders since we wanted to spend 2 days doing activities we could not do with our dog. They provided 2 recommendations the one we picked was perfect and allowed us to enjoy our 2 days without worrying about how our dog was. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Safari tents at Gambledown Farm as a fantastic glamping experience for anyone who wants a great staycation with a bit of rustic charm and fantastic access to the New Forest and surrounding attractions.

Great location, secluded and yet very well-equipped. Amazing if you’re looking to get away for a bit. Fantastic surroundings too!

We arrived in heavy rain which couldn’t dampen the beauty of the site. Morag and all the staff there were amazing, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect site, from being on the river edge, kayaking, animals and how friendly everyone was. It was great having a pre pitched tent with everything we needed and a comfy bed. We were also provided with free firewood you could chopped yourself. Others sites charge a fortune for firewood, so it’s great to find no hidden costs. As a whole everything on the site was accessible and we could feed all the animals and even hold the chicks 🐥. It exceeded our expectations. Can’t wait for next summer to go. Would highly recommend, fantastic for a back to nature experience without the hassle of bringing everything with you.

Thank you so much Rachael for a wonderful 2 night stay! The children absolutely loved staying in the tent and the lovely warm swimming pool was the highlight of the weekend. It was peaceful (you do hear the M25 but we soon zoned it out) and our dog, Millie, loved exploring the surroundings. We had all the amenities provided in a very private area but also the luxury of a lovely shower and bathroom. The children have already asked if we can come back next year :)

Great stay with the family & dogs! The tent was just perfect and surprisingly warm considering it’s almost November. Nice pubs nearby within short driving distance
