Five reasons to buy a static caravan in Dorset

We’ve placed our three Dorset holiday parks in areas that maximise the beauty of Dorset. Littlesea sits on the magnificent East Fleet Lagoon, to the west of Weymouth and a short distance from the smashing Isle of Portland. The fleet itself is one of the rarest beach formations in the UK, with a sandy strip in between the lagoon and the English Channel. Weymouth Bay Holiday Park is over the other side of the town, with the beautiful Bowleaze Cove a short walk away and access to Weymouth equally easy. 

Rockley Park Holiday Park is the east of Dorset, just outside Poole and a neighbour to the area’s world-famous marina. The aptly named Rock Lea River it sits on leads to the second-largest natural harbour worldwide. 

Poole and Weymouth are as convenient as they are beautiful places, and by picking one of these as the base for your second home, you’ll find all the essentials needed within a stress-free distance from your van.

Dorset has all the ingredients needed to make memories that last a lifetime with the extended family and friends new and old. There’s loads to get involved in on and off park. All three of our Dorset sites lay on owners-only days out throughout the year, so you can get to know the community and make memories that last a lifetime with your loved ones. 

Weymouth is a seafarer’s paradise. There are angling clubs to get involved with and loads of ways to sail and yacht on one of Britain’s most picturesque waters. Weymouth is also home to Weymouth FC. If there are any football fans in the family, head to the Bob Lucas stadium for a great atmosphere and top-quality non-league matches. 

Poole is also a place that lays on loads for locals and visitors alike. Cobb’s Quay Marina is close to Rockley Park and is a centre of boating and making the most of the Holes Bay, the northern connection to Poole Harbour. Poole Town FC play at School Lane, and the Dolphin Leisure Centre hosts fitness classes throughout the week.

Weymouth Beach is one of the most famous in Britain, and it’s easy to see why. With a unique balance of amenities, entertainment and scenery, it’s one of the go-to places for a breath of fresh sea air throughout the year. That’s the thing as owner, it doesn’t really matter if it’s hot or cold, there’s always something to enjoy in the vicinity, like the amusements or a long walk with a furry friend. Bowleaze Cove offers a serene and quieter way to enjoy the surroundings too, and it isn’t too far from Weymouth’s centre. 

Poole is famous for its spectacular harbour, the scene of many a postcard and one of the most iconic places on England’s south coast. The National Trust-owned Brownsea Island is just across the harbour, easily accessible by boat. Sandbanks Beach is a great day out, and west from Rockley Park is an area of immense beauty personified by the Holton Heath Nature Reserve.

Weymouth hosts over 200 events throughout the year, making full use of the town’s parks, beaches and open spaces. There’s loads to get involved in, from regular park runs to family fun days at the Radipole and Lodmoor RSPB Reserves. Weymouth Library is a great option for the kids too, organising story times and guided reading for little ones. 

In Poole, the quay is a centre of events, with everything from a weekly bike meet to outdoor entertainment hosted in the warmer months. The Lighthouse, an arts venue, has a massive programme of events, and Upton Country Park is another place to check out.
