Glamping Tents

At Taunton Leisure, we understand that spending time in nature doesn’t mean compromising on the finer things. That’s why our range of bell tents, tipi tents, and glamping shelters are perfect for campers looking for a little extra luxury.


Tipi & Bell Tents for Luxury Camping

We stock leading brands such as Nordisk, who are known for their sleek glamping tents that merge lightweight materials with strong structural integrity. Anyone after a traditional Nordic experience might appreciate the craftsmanship behind Tentipi. This type of tent is great for larger groups and families who want plenty of room.

Why Choose a Bell Tent or Tipi Tent for Glamping?

Spacious Interiors for Comfort & Style

A true standout feature, the tall central pole and sloped sides of a bell tent give you proper standing room and plenty of space to move about. The circular footprint creates a natural flow that works brilliantly for sociable group camping.

Tipi tents have a more rustic, conical shape, creating an atmospheric space inside. The shape encourages natural ventilation, making it feel airy on warm days while also aiding the chimney draw if you’re using a camping stove.

Year-Round Use & Weather Protection

British weather is known for its unpredictability, so all our glamping tents are chosen for their durability and weatherproofing. Materials like cotton canvas or a modern polycotton blend will breathe in summer and insulate in cooler months.

Brands like Robens offer models with clever features like extra ventilation points, stove jacks and waterproof coatings.

Quick & Simple Setup

Our bell tents and tipi tents are made for ease of use, even for first timers. Many models can be pitched in 15 to 20 minutes, thanks to intuitive designs that use fewer poles, strong guy lines and colour-coded components.

FAQs About Glamping Tents


What is the difference between a bell tent and a tipi tent?

A bell tent typically features a single central pole and guy ropes that create a wide, round living area with high walls and full headroom throughout much of the interior. In contrast, a tipi tent has a more conical shape, often using multiple support poles or a frame system, which enhances ventilation and gives it a more traditional, rustic appearance.

Are glamping tents waterproof?

Yes, most glamping tents are designed to handle wet British weather. Polycotton and canvas models have a natural resistance to water, and they often become more water-repellent over time as the fibres swell. Many are also treated with additional waterproofing layers. Seams, zips, and groundsheet connections are engineered to keep rain out, and regular maintenance can ensure long-term waterproofing.

Can I cook or use a stove inside a bell tent?

You can use a stove inside many bell tents, provided it’s specifically designed for tent use and the tent itself is suitable for stove use. Look for models with built-in flue vents and fire-retardant materials. Proper ventilation is crucial and carbon monoxide detectors are a wise addition.

How do I care for glamping tents?

Always allow your glamping tent to dry fully before packing away to avoid mildew, especially with canvas or polycotton materials. Gently brush off dirt and mud after each trip and periodically reproof the fabric to maintain water resistance. Store your tent in a cool, dry place and check guy lines, zips and pegs before each use.

Are bell and tipi tents suitable for permanent setup?

While bell tents and tipi tents are built to last, they’re not intended for permanent use. Long-term exposure to the elements, particularly UV rays, moisture and wind, can degrade materials over time. The important thing is to follow the use and care guidelines of your particular tent. If you’re setting it up for an extended period, rotate the tent's position if possible and monitor for signs of wear.
