Our peaceful and quiet 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.
Back at base, families can opt to holiday in either or caravans, or our hot tub lodges, offering panoramic views of Swanage Bay and the Purbeck hills, make the ideal indulgent escape. Or if you are looking to get back to basics, during the summer we offer informal seasonal tent pitches with no electric.
Swanage Coastal Park offers peace and quiet with stunning scenery in a beautiful and secluded part of Dorset. This park is perfect for a South Coast holiday, and Swanage is famous for its seaside location.
(Note: due to the hillside location of the park, it may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties)
For the summer holidays we open Coastal Heights, an area laid out for informal camping, sorry no tourers or motorhomes.
These grass pitches are available in our informal seasonal camping field at Swanage. They are only suitable for tents and available in the school summer holidays. Get back to basics and camp under the stars. This area has no access to an electric hook up.
There are no bars, restaurants or shop facilities at the park but Swanage town centre is just a short stroll away with the wonderful views of Swanage Bay.
You will always get a friendly welcome and local knowledge from the team in reception and Swanage is home to many award-winning restaurants and bars, with even more to be discovered in the surrounding area. Whatever takes your fancy, Swanage always has something to suit your tastes.
