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.

Fabulous lodge with hot tub and amazing views
We had a wonderful break. It was easy to access our lodge, which was spacious, extremely clean, had everything we needed including a dishwasher, washing machine, luxurious beds and sofas. The view from the lodge was amazing and we could see it from our balcony and hot tub. The hot tub was perfect!

Clean and well equipped caravan! Lovely!
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely caravan park. The caravan was really well equipped and clean. Our children loved that we were close to the park. The park felt very safe. The check in process was really easy - would definitely come back if we found ourselves holidaying in Swanage again!

Can't wait to come back
Our Signature lodge was beautiful with a super comfy bed. The hot tub and decking area was great, especially with the dog as he liked to explore. The site is absolutely stunning, the views just get better the more you walk around park. If we could stay longer we would have in a heartbeat.

Would definitely return
Arrived here early for a stay during the summer holidays. The seaside 3 pet friendly caravan was spotless and perfect for our family of 6 and a dog. Reception were lovely each time we visited to use the small shop inside and were great with the children.

What a lovely setting
View to die for. The lodge was spotless and well situated. Good size bedrooms, lovely showers, lovely kitchen with all you need and a spacious living room with a good television and good Wi-Fi reception. Nice walk to Swanage. We loved it here and definitely recommend it for a nice quiet break.

Check-in will vary depending on the accommodation you have booked.
Check-out is by 10am on the day of departure. Note: Sunday departures for two night breaks are by 7pm.
You are welcome to arrive earlier and make use of any of the parks facilities, but please do not head to your accommodation until you have received your text confirming that it is all ready for you.
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available around the parks and inside your accommodation at Swanage Coastal Park, Oakdene Forest Park*, Shorefield Country Park (including Downton Holiday Park), Merley Court Holiday Park and Forest Edge Holiday Park. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also available throughout the main facility buildings across these parks.
There is limited Wi-Fi at Lytton Lawn.
Please be aware that the Wi-Fi service is suitable for light browsing and checking emails, but during peak times may be limited. Streaming/gaming/video conferencing is not guaranteed.
Unfortunately, mobile phone reception and network is dependent on your mobile phone provider and therefore is out of our control. Mobile phone reception in the New Forest area can sometimes be patchy on some networks but is generally improving over time. There is usually no problem at Swanage Coastal Park or Merley Court Holiday Park.
All our hot tubs are emptied, cleaned and refilled with every departure/new arrival. We do endeavour to make sure these are up to temperature when you arrive, however this is not always a guarantee, especially in colder months as this will naturally take longer.
Please note: Our shepherd huts do not have hot tubs.
Towels are provided in our hot tub accommodation, all our houses, treehouses and Select+ lodges, however we recommend bringing a spare as you never know when it may come in handy (trips to the beach or having a separate towel for use in the hot tub is ideal!) We supply one hand towel and one bath towel per person.
We therefore do not provide towels in our Select lodges or our range of caravan accommodation (with the exception of our Sublime Hot Tub Caravans) and therefore advise that you bring your own.
You can hire towels for your holiday and can even add these to your booking, should your accommodation not come with them as standard! A set of towels is charged at £6.50 per set and includes one hand towel and one bath towel. Simply add these to your booking when reviewing your accommodation online and they'll be ready and waiting for you when you arrive. If you would like to hire towels on arrival at reception a set is charged at £8.75.
We do also recommend bringing your own toiletries including soap, shower gel, shampoo and other bathroom necessities.
Yes, you are more than welcome to have supermarket deliveries once you have checked in. Please ensure you are available and at your accommodation at the time of delivery to accept your order. You will also need to provide the delivery driver with your holiday home number and directions to your accommodation.
