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.
Swanage Coastal Park offers a relaxed environment with stunning scenery in a beautiful and secluded part of Dorset. This park is perfect for a South Coast holiday with Bournemouth and Poole right on your doorstep, plus Swanage is famous for its seaside location along the Jurassic Coast.
As testament to our stunning staycations, we are delighted that Swanage Coastal Park received Bronze for Holiday Park of the Year at the 2020 Dorset Tourism Awards (Note: due to the hillside location of the park, it may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties)

Supreme 2
We had a lovely 4 night stay in a supreme 2 bedroom caravan. It was very clean and comfortable. I would certainly stay again. Fabulous walks nearby and a nice walk into town.
