BOOK YOUR GLAMPING EXPERIENCE
Parsons Bus Site - The Best Glamping Bus in Dorset!
Parsons Bus Site is tucked away in a hidden glade on the edges of Brickles Wood and Parsons Copse. Surrounded by nature and wildlife, the camp has views across the Dorset countryside looking towards Bulbarrow hill. This exclusive glamping site features our very own double-decker bus! The site can sleep 12 comfortably between the bus (4), bunkhouse (4) and a bell tent (4). This site is perfect for families and groups of friends.

Parsons Camp: A Truly Extraordinary Dorset Escape
Sleeps 12 | Dog Friendly | Perfect for Groups & Hen Parties
Experience the nostalgia of our lovingly restored double-decker Glamping Bus, once a coastal cruiser, now parked permanently in the heart of the Stock Gaylard Estate. Combined with our Bunkhouse and Bell Tent, Parsons Camp offers a unique, flexible base for large families, multi-generational groups, and retreats.

The Bunkhouse: A cosy space with one double bed and two single bunks above.
The Bell Tent: A spacious tent sleeping four (one double, two singles).
Rustic Luxury & Unique Facilities
We blend “off-grid” charm with essential home comforts. The site is fully equipped with mains water and gas-powered amenities.
