Our UK Getaways and Staycations
Escape to the great outdoors and discover nature on your holiday
For many, having something to look forward to is a haven from all the uncertainty around right now.
With the many updates in Government guidance and advice, we have made some considerable changes to our usual breaks to let you safely enjoy a south coast staycation. Our ‘Shorefield Getaways’ let you escape and relax in the great outdoors and make treasured family memories, without all our usual facilities. Discover nature along the miles of beaches right on our doorstep or explore the vast open spaces of the New Forest. Our parks are ideally located for making the most of the outdoors, wherever you choose to experience them on your staycation.
We were delighted to have safely opened many of our fantastic facilities across our parks, all with new social distancing measures in place. We have put together this handy guide, with what we hope to reopen and when, to help you plan your staycation.
Some facilities may remain closed for 2021 'Shorefield Getaways', for your safety. Our ‘Shorefield Getaways’ experience will apply for all new bookings arriving in 2021 until further notice.
We can't wait to welcome you for an incredible getaway. With fantastic offers on holidays throughout the year, why not treat yourself and the family to a last-minute staycation?All our special offers
To comply with Government guidelines, Shorefield Getaways let you experience the great outdoors and make unforgettable family memories, without all our usual facilities.
We've also been awarded the Visit Britain 'We're Good To Go' industry standard, with a range of new procedures and clear processes in place to ensure your safety and reassurance. All new bookings for the 2021 season will be taken on the basis of reduced facilities until further notice.
Breath in the fresh Dorset sea air or unwind in the leafy surroundings of the New Forest. Wherever you choose to take your Shorefield Getaway, you’ll be spoilt for choice with open spaces to explore and discover.
We’ve introduced contactless check-in for all our Shorefield Getaways, so you don’t need to worry about key handovers or queueing at Reception.
We want to make things as safe and easy for you as possible. Our contactless check-in removes the need for face-to-face contact with any of our friendly team. Simply head straight to your accommodation and your key will be waiting for you in a secure location! Due to our enhanced cleaning regimes, your accommodation may take a little longer to be ready. Our check-in times for self-catering accommodation are from 4pm for holidays booked directly with us. Whilst we aim to have your accommodation ready as soon as possible, due to our enhanced cleaning regimes this may take a little longer.
We were delighted to have safely reopened a range of our fantastic facilities after the first lockdown, all with new social distancing measures in place, and hope to do so again as soon as possible when our parks reopen.
Please note that what facilities will be available will depend on the date of your stay, as well as subject to government review. We've put together our handy guide with what we hope to reopen and when, to give you an idea of what we might be able to offer. Currently, the following facilities have safely reopened:
Swimming pools, gyms and the outdoor sports courts will just need to be booked in advance to ensure social distancing and help keep you safe. Simply book online or using our app up to 48 hours in advance... You can even do it whilst you're on park!
We've made some significant changes to our cleaning procedures and increased our sanitation routine, meaning every single holiday home is cleaned to an exceptionally high standard.
With increased sanitation procedures throughout our accommodation, our cleaning teams focus on high-touch areas such as door handles, TV remote controls, kitchen fittings and tabletops to ensure the utmost standards of cleanliness and give you added reassurance.
We have also reduced our inventory and the amount of non-essential items in our self-catering accommodation, to minimise the risk to you through high-touch areas.
Our shared shower and toilet facilities at our camping and touring parks also have more frequent and enhanced cleaning schedules, alongside our focus on touch points here too.
We're here to keep you and your family safe... That's why all our teams across our South Coast parks are required to wear face coverings at all times* in any indoor public areas.
We ask that all guests wear face coverings when entering or moving around any of our facilities, as required by Government, to help prevent the spread of the virus. This includes within our arcades, receptions and our restaurants until you are seated at your table. Excludes children under 11 years of age and those with health conditions/exemptions. As a handy guide, we are therefore asking guests to wear face coverings in the following areas at our parks:
*Exceptions apply for our entertainers whilst performing on stage, in addition to our lifeguard teams in the pool areas or any team behind a protective separator screen.
All our self-contained holiday homes across our parks are at least 5 metres apart, giving you plenty of space between your closest neighbour and making them the perfect choice for a socially distanced staycation.
If you do need to pick up some essentials from our on-site shops, visit our holiday home ownership offices or simply pop to reception for any reason, that’s no problem! We’ve introduced clear floor markings, protective separator screens and one-way systems to help you stay socially distant and give you peace of mind.
Please note that we are asking all guests and staff to wear face coverings when entering any of our indoor facilities. We’ll also have plenty of sanitising stations situated throughout our main facility buildings.
You’ll find all our parks in idyllic locations along some of the most stunning parts of the UK’s South Coast.
There’s plenty for you and friends or family to explore, right on our doorstep. Discover miles of beautiful beaches or leafy forest landscapes – the choice is yours! The hardest thing will be not falling in love with the area!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is contactless check-in?
As an added safety measure following Government guidance and social distancing advice, all our accommodation now feature 'contactless check-in' as standard. This means you don't have to pick up your key from reception, instead it will be ready and securely waiting for you at your accommodation at your designated check-in time. We'll even provide directions to your accommodation, where everything will be waiting for you so you can make the most of every moment on park.
Shortly before your holiday starts you will receive our pre-arrival email, where you can register all your details and begin the online check-in process.

Last updated 15th June 2021: We are delighted have safely reopened many of our fantastic facilities, all with new social distancing measures in place. What we will be able to offer will depend on the date of your arrival, as well as the latest announcements as a result of the government's reviews.

Rest assured we are working hard to ensure we can offer you as much of the Shorefield Holidays Experience as possible on your staycation.
We will keep you updated if the Government make any announcements that indicate whether we will be permitted to re-open our facilities and any changes that may take place.
Due to Coronavirus, if I don’t want to arrive for my holiday can I get a refund?
All 2021 holidays booked with us are covered by our Booking Guarantee.
If our parks are forced to close, any holiday arriving during our closed period can be moved† or receive a no-quibble refund.
If your home region is locked down further by the Government or Government restrictions prevent you from arriving for your holiday, you can move your booking to an equivalent date free of charge† or receive a full no-quibble refund. We will happily action this within 4 weeks of your arrival**.
If you are contacted by Track and Trace and are required to self-isolate or test positive for COVID-19, you can move your booking free of charge to an equivalent date†, or receive a full no-quibble refund, provided you give us between 4 weeks’ notice and up until 3 days prior to your arrival. Alternatively, you may move to any alternative date and pay any additional holiday premium where applicable†

Outside of the above, any holidays arriving within 2 weeks of arrival are bound by our normal T&Cs. Please refer here for your rights to cancel and receive a refund under any other circumstances.
Due to COVID-19, will your shared shower and toilet facilities at your camping and touring parks be open?
Our shared shower and toilet blocks at our campsites will be reopening in line with government guidelines. We do however advise that you make use of your own 'on board' facilities in your motorhome or tourer as much as possible where available.
Do I need to wear a face mask/face covering?
Following latest advice, face coverings must be worn AT ALL TIMES when entering or walking through any of our facilities. You may remove your face mask once seated at your table within our bars and restaurants, however you must replace your face mask when leaving your table at any time. We also request that all guests wear a face covering when visiting our swimming pool facilities and only remove this when entering the pool area.
Children under 11 years of age and those with health conditions or other physical or mental illness, impairment or disability are exempt from wearing face coverings as stated by the Government.
We are also ensuring that all team members across our parks wear a face covering at all times in public areas for your safety and peace of mind. This includes within our restaurants and bars, receptions, shops and walking between any of these areas indoors. Exceptions apply for our lifeguard teams in the pool areas.
As a handy guide, we are therefore asking gusts to wear face coverings in the following areas at our parks:
Arcades
Receptions
Sales Offices
Shops
Bars and Restaurants - If you're moving around our bar and restaurant areas you must be wearing a face mask until you are seated. You may then take it off to eat/drink. Should you need to leave your table for any reason, you will need to replace your face covering.
Do you provide towels?
Towels are provided in our hot tub accommodation, all our houses 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. Please bring your own tea towels.
We therefore do not provide towels or tea 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.
We also recommend bringing your own toiletries including soap, shower gel, shampoo and other bathroom necessities.
We are absolutely thrilled to have been named this year's winner at The itravel Staycation Awards for our dedication to supporting NHS Keyworkers during the pandemic, COVID-19 measures and charitable donations.
Here at Shorefield Holidays, we’re over the moon that domestic travel is now officially back on the agenda! So what exactly is a staycation? And what are the benefits of taking one?
An update of what we hope our opening roadmap will look like, including key dates and details on what facilities we hope to reopen across our holiday parks.

Clean and Safe
Perfect location for exploring all the area has to offer, trips to Country Parks, driving through the New Forest and seaside towns. We stayed in a Sensation 2 caravan and it was clean and modern. Just a perfect getaway, lots of family fun and great facilities, everything felt clean and safe too.

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.
