Camping in Dorset

With Summer just around the corner, a lot of people are started to think about camping holidays and taking a few well-earned days rest from work.

It won’t be long before the kids break up and if we can just get the weather right then we could be in for a great Summer.

And what better way to enjoy your break than camping in Dorset. It doesn’t matter if you are the type of family that just loves lazing around on the beach or are really adventurous and love to go exploring the great outdoors - Dorset has something for everyone.

Using a local Dorset campsite is ideal as a base to go off and explore some of Britain’s best loved beaches and some of the World’s most spectacular and prized coastline.

Dorset Fossil Forest

The Jurassic Coast covers 95 miles of truly stunning coastline from East Devon to Dorset, with rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth’s history. Dinosaur footprints are found among the spectacular limestone coves and headlands of Purbeck and the Isle of Portland.

Check out all the latest events such as Guided Walks around Lulworth and Fossil Hunting down at Charmouth at http://www.jurassiccoast.com/component/events/312/index.html

The beaches of Weymouth, Lymes Regis, Poole & Bournemouth offer some of the best family friendly areas for kids to play and enjoy the sand and surf.

Veteran vehicle and motorcycle rallies, military parades, handball, volleyball and sailing championships are all held during the summer months. The visit by the Red Arrows display team is always one not to be missed. Watching them fly over from the cliff top at Bournemouth is simply stunning.

There are always plenty of fireworks displays too. Poole has a fantastic display organised for every Thursday evening in August - and the Weymouth Carnival culminates in an international fireworks display on the beach and a draw where the first prize is a car.

There really is lots to do in and around Dorset, so book your pitch early.

If you are camping in Dorset - don’t forget to ask at the shop or reception for discount vouchers for some of the attractions such as Weymouth Sea Life Centre and the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton.
