Swanage Coastal Park
The ultimate independent holiday base
Our peaceful and quiet holiday park offers stunning scenery in this beautiful and secluded part of Dorset.
A holiday here is all about enjoying the great outdoors and, with its crumbling castles, rocky clifftop paths, and beautiful beaches, Dorset is ripe for exploring. Swanage Coastal Park has been given the 'Good To Go' mark by Visit England, promoting safer stays.
Back at base, families can opt to holiday in either our caravans or our lodges, some with the added luxury of their own hot tub. Our accommodation offers panoramic views of Swanage Bay and the Purbeck hills, making here the ideal indulgent escape.
We understand the need to be flexible, now more than ever. That's why all 2021 holidays booked with us are covered by our Booking Guarantee, giving you peace of mind.View our Booking Guarantee

We had a great week. Any staff on site that we met were all polite and friendly. The caravan was clean and comfortable, and the welcome pack was very useful. We will be back in October!!!

Outstanding
Upon arrival, I was impressed by the cleanliness of a lodge. It was immaculate, inside and out. The staff were outstanding. I was always greeted with a friendly smile & they offered me recommendations on local activities. I can’t say enough about this park, the staff and cleanliness of the lodge.
