About Me

You have contenders and then you have the Star of the show...The Star Bell is renowned for being strong, stable and striking from every angle. From the breezy, bug-free interior (enabled via the 360° mesh walls) right through to the extended 1m-deep canopy which frames and shades the entrance, this design excels in providing uncompromised outdoor adventure.

Due to its credible resilience, this exclusive design has proven to be a popular pick amongst trade and camping connoisseurs with the highest of expectations. This robust strength is an attribute gained from the arched overhang and webbing strap duo which work together to reduce tripping hazards and redirect rain-pour away from the tent.

At Boutique Camping we know that no two campers' glamping goals can compare, so we've created the Star Bell in over 3 versatile fabrics to choose from. Introducing our Fire Retardant Models, boasting a pre-cut stove hole and flap for effortless setup in the 4m and 5m sizes. For other sizes, you will need to cut the stove hole yourself. Both styles require the purchase of a flashing kit when installing a stove. Use our fabric guide to compare before you camp!

Please Note: The Star Bell Tent is protected by way of worldwide registered design.

Take The Tent Tour

Previously asked by campers, so you don’t have to...

On your first pitch the Star Bell Tent may take up to 25 minutes to erect, however, the more you practice the process the quicker it will become... the experts here have got it down to 7 minutes! Whilst it's not vital, having an extra pair of hands will make pitching the tent easier.
Yes, all breathable fabrics have been treated with a water repelling agent to ensure dry adventures! On your first pitch, or even when practising in the garden, you may want to 'weather' the fabric. Weathering a tent (also known as "seasoning" a tent) is the process of exposing it to water to help seal the fabric and stitching before actual use. This is especially important for cotton and polycotton tents, as their seams often have tiny needle holes from manufacturing. This is not a vital step, for it your predicting your tents adventure to face a heavy downpour, it is advised. The Oxford fabric does not require this as the synthetic fabric is tight and 100% waterproof.
All of our tents are designed to pitched outdoors. We have however seen customers attempt indoor set ups by using weights and various heavy items to to keep the base down and webbing straps attached, but for your saftety and the tents, we do not recommend this.
For models that are polycotton or cotton, yes you can install a wood burning stove in their tent. We recommend doing this in the fire retardant model that comes equipped with a stove hole and flap. Please be advised to get the correct accessories; flashing kit, heat mat, and a carbon monoxide detector.
Webbing straps are thick and heavy-duty, giving your pitch more resilience in high winds. The are also great for when camping with children as they minimise tripping hazards!
Due to interior space we do not make inner tents for our 3m range.

Love this tent. It was super easy to put up, once we put our stuff in it was really cosy. I really like that there are openings on both ends, it can cool the tent down quite quickly and just provides extra options. There was a couple small issues with my order but when I contacted the customer support the have been amazing and resolved my problems straight away which included shipping some spare straps. The bag in which the tent comes in has extra room in case the tent didnt fold back to the same size but once we have deflated all it needed was little lining up, folding in three and rolling. Fitted back no problem! All in all I am super satisfied and cant wait for my next camping trip with my Vela tent! ☺️
I also do hope for some line extensions such as some type of awning, rain shelter, maybe a tent space divider?

Wow, second weekend away and a big one. We initially went away for 1 night only just to test and build and it was lovely. This weekend 4 nights Whitby festival . And torrential storm weather winds etc. tent is amazing bine dry windproof to an extent and coped exceptionally well with whatever was thrown at it . We love it and can't wait to get back out. Now what else do we need to make life even more comfortable .....

Putting the tent up and putting it away has never been easier and once up it is a truly pleasant experience to be inside. Only time will tell if the seals continue to work on the inflatable pipes.

Kate De Korte review photo Kate De Korte review photo

Hi Kate, thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you find the tent easy to set up and enjoy being inside. Fingers crossed the seals hold up well—please reach out if you need any assistance in the future. Happy camping! 😊

Great tent - we immediately put it to the test with some torrential rain and it remained leakproof, except where we’d left one of the ventilation windows open overnight. We also had some really hot sunny weather and the ventilation windows worked well. However, I would say it is a little bit hotter than our old 100% canvas bell tent.

It was easy to put up as well, approximately 20 mins.

Hi Caroline, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're glad the tent held up well in different weather conditions and that you found it easy to set up. Your feedback about the ventilation and temperature is very helpful. Enjoy your camping adventures!

Love my vela air tent -it is heavy but super easy to set up and really spacious ( I got the smaller of the two sizes ) we have a camper van and so this is just a change of scenery .. set up with bunting and fairy lights , lots of cushions for that bohemian glamping experience - great value although yet to use in rain 😁

Fabulous tent and excellent service

I purchased the 4m star tent in oxfordlite with dark bedroom and absolutely delighted with it. The finishing details are spot on and have had so many complements from fellow campers. Took me around half an hour to pitch solo and very easy apart from the A frame which was a little tricky initially but once I worked it out it was pretty easy. A little condensation after first night but I forgot to open the vents. Highly recommend this company and tent.

Dogs love it

Get one, treat yourself and your hounds. We love ours. It's absolutely brilliant in heavy downpours because it's comfortably spacious and cosy at the same time. Very calm.

Love It!!!

Honestly this is worth the splurge!
Easy to pop up and down, looks a million dollars and really hardy. Purchased as our old tent was a traditional pole tent, as we are getting older and have back issues we wanted something easier to put up.
The pump it comes with is large so you can sit and pump or stand and pump, it doesn't take long at all infact our 11 year old took over most the pumping and enjoyed getting involved.

Inside it's huge and spacious, it really does feel like a bit of luxury.

Best purchase of the year for us!

BEST QUALITY EVER!

Wouldn't buy anything else once you see the quality of it. From the sturdy zips, webbing straps and canvas quality it is certainly the best we've seen. Used for the first time last weekend, so quick to put up (and down). Everyone commented on how good it looked. Looking at buying more accessories and can't wait for the next trip.
