We are a friendly, uncommercialised holiday park, with unrivalled access to Durdle Door Beach. Explore Lulworth Cove, Stair Hole, Man O' War Bay, and the rolling countryside of Dorset - all of which are on our doorstep. With our dog-friendly bar & restaurant, and the majority of beaches in the area being the same, there is something for the whole family! Our luxury caravan holiday homes are modern, clean, and fully equipped for your getaway. Try something new with our Skylight Cabins or Horizon Heights Villa - both options offering a new multi-storey take on the original caravan experience. The Rookery camping area is designed for camping; the Abbeyfield for motorhomes, and the Sea View for campervans under 5 metres. Our camping pods have proved a favourite among many. The South west Coast Path is mere moments away, and with stunning local scenery, our park is popular among walkers, families, bird watchers, and those just looking to get away from the busyness of everyday life.
