Dog-Friendly Holiday Parks in Dorset

A holiday park can be an easy way to bring your dog to Dorset, with your own caravan, lodge or pitch and space to get outside as soon as you wake up. Most people choose between two kinds of break. On the Jurassic Coast around Swanage and Purbeck, you’re well placed for sea views and coastal walks. Further inland, the quieter countryside towards Cranborne Chase suits longer walks and slower days.

Dog rules vary from park to park, and often between units on the same site. Before you book, check which accommodation takes dogs, how many you can bring and whether there’s a charge. It’s also worth asking about any areas of the park where dogs aren’t allowed, and looking up the rules for nearby beaches, as some restrict dogs at certain times of year.
