The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) has been described as the world’s most dangerous race. Since 1907, it’s been held annually in the first week of June, attracting crowds of up to 46,000 and swelling the island’s population by 50%. It gets busy, but we have peaceful Isle of Man TT accommodation for you, well away from the crowds in our luxury bell tents.
Glamping on a budget
Nine Yards Bell Tents are located on a fantastic campsite in Castletown, 10 miles from Douglas, on the south coast of the island. Each tent has real beds with winter tog duvets, 2 pillows and a throw per bed. There is matting throughout, a solar lantern, small table, mirror and wastepaper basket too. You can find out more about our tents here.
The site has a clubhouse with toilets, hot showers and a licensed cafe bar serving food and drink from 19:00 to 00:00. Breakfast is also served on race days – nice and early so you can get to the racing before it starts.
