A tranquil gateway to woodland walks and sandy shores
With forest and coast on your doorstep and an energetic GoActive+ programme to keep you and the family fit on park, a holiday home at Oakdene is the perfect base for you to create years of memorable adventures.
Set in 55 quiet acres on the edge of the Hurn and Avon Forest in Dorset, this peaceful woodland park makes the ideal location for your very own holiday home.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am interested in finding more out about owning a holiday home and wanted to drop by one of the parks sometime?
Sure thing! You can either fill out this form or call our office on 0800 214080 to arrange a visit. We are currently only accepting visits by appointment only, in order to manage numbers and help us keep you safe whilst social distancing. We kindly ask that as per Government guidelines you ensure that face coverings are worn whilst in our ownership offices and on your park tour. You can find out more details on all our ownership locations and available holiday homes on our About Ownership page.
I'm looking into buying a pre-owned static caravan near Bournemouth?
We offer pre-owned caravans at all our parks, please fill out our contact form, or give us a call to speak to a member of our ownership team.
How long can I stay on park for?
Our Merley Court park now offers Residential Licences, so if you are looking for a park home that you can live in all year round, please get in touch here
All our other parks have holiday park licences, therefore they cannot be used to live on (Residential), but you can mainly come and go as and when you like during the 10 - 11 months (depending on the park) we are open. Our parks are subject to a 56 day maximum length of stay, with at least 7 days where you will need to be off park prior to returning. Typically, our parks are closed early January to early February.
What are site fees and running costs?
As with owning any home, there are running costs. These include annual site fees, rates, gas, electricity and insurance. Naturally, these change from year to year. Site fees depend on your park location and they not only cover things like general park maintenance, but your entrance to all the park venues and facilities, alongside the right to site your holiday home on our park. Other things are included in your site fees too, like grass cutting and general park upkeep. Rates are also billed annually and include refuse collection, local rates, water and wastage.
All site fees displayed on our website are reflective of the normal rate of VAT (20%) being applied. 2023/2024 site fees are included pro-rata in all new customer purchases. The price of the holiday home has no reflection on the VAT rate of site fees.
Site Fees & rates may be paid over 6 or 12 months by direct debit with an additional interest charge, direct debit is provided through premium credit. Gas and electricity are metered and invoiced twice yearly.
Is it possible to let my holiday home?
Yes, subletting your holiday home when you’re not using it can be a great way to earn extra income to offset your running costs. You can do this yourself if you wish. As a leading holiday operator, we invest in extensive national and online marketing campaigns. This ensures that we attract thousands of holidaymakers each year, many of whom will be looking to let out a property like yours. Our fully managed letting service will allow you to remain in control at all times.
