  • Family-friendly park just outside Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast
  • A 10-minute drive from Lyme Regis and Seatown beach
  • Play areas and soft play; swimming pools (an additional fee applies)
There’s nothing fossilised about a stay at Newlands Holiday Park, a stone’s throw away from the Jurassic Coast on the Devon/Dorset border, where the staff and facilities should cater to your every holiday need. For example, this lush place has two separate play areas for the kids. For an additional fee, you're also welcome to use the heated indoor and seasonally heated outdoor pool with a splash zone and a spa, sauna and gym too (age limits apply to these last three). Both pools have loungers so you can bask in the sun and wonder where the kids get all that energy. More? There's an indoor soft play area. Also use family-run Newlands as a base for a Lyme Regis fossil-hunting holiday or just lounge about on site; either way, epic times are on the cards. The 23-acre landscaped park has all the facilities you’d expect from a thoroughly modern site: internet access and clean, up-to-date amenities including hot showers and a launderette. Half a mile from Newlands, the World Heritage village of Charmouth has shops, restaurants and pubs… and is also known for its hardy souls taking to the sea in fancy dress on Christmas Day.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very close to Charmouth and Lyme Regis.

Disliked Not enough toilet or shower cubicles, and having chosen the site specifically so my boys could use the gym, it turned out there was an age restriction despite this not being mentioned online.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Soft play and kids play ground.
Very clean site. Although showers could have been checked more regular.
Lots of accommodations to choose from.
On a bus route although time tables not correct but this isn’t the parks fault.

Disliked Having to pay for swimming.
Rained so swimming fully booked all day.
Dog mess in the dog area. Dog owners fault here.
No children’s entertainment.

Camping pod

Liked The soft play whilst it was pouring with rain.

Food was good.

Use of showers/toilets/washing up.

Clean camp site, well looked after.

Disliked It’s cash only for most things including evening entertainment such as bingo with no cash point on site.

There could be a child menu available especially for younger ones, we only ate breakfast not sure on evening menus.

Having to pay extra for use of swimming pool.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Site was very clean, including shower block and all other amenities.
Gym was small but adequate, unfortunately, our 16 Yr old gym addict unable to use due to his age, even though his mother is always with him. We did find a gym in Axminster for him called OJ Gyms.
Bar, entertainment area plenty of seating and excellent service, food good value for money. Plenty of seating in conservatory
If you had dogs with you, plus outside on verandah with stunning views.
Only used the indoor pool which was very clean and not too busy (advisable to book indoor pool and outdoor is first come first served with either a full morning or full afternoon).
Good park for children and good dog field.
Bus stop located right outside, which will take you to Axminster, Bridport, Lyme Regis etc.
Short walk to Charmouth, which is a beautiful little village with a stunning beach, has a few places on beach to get refreshments. Also good place to do coastal walks, which is very much uphill and down dale.
Well stocked Spar shop on site.
Free Wi Fi across the site, which we had no problems with.
Last but not least, all staff are friendly and helpful.

Disliked This is nobodies fault, but site is situated just off a busy main road, so traffic noise is 24/7

Local attractions

Charmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and has some of the best fossils to be found in Dorset: the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre has fossil collections and guided fossil walks and is where you can proudly bring in your very own fossil find to be identified. The beach is a 15-minute walk from Newlands: stroll from here to Lyme Regis keeping your head down for more fossily finds, then wander around Lyme to take a look at Cobb Harbour (made famous in Jane Austen’s Persuasion); buy freshly ground flour at the 14th-century watermill; amble along to at the ammonites, exhibitions and events at the museum, or tee off on the cliff at Lyme Regis Golf Club. Mini fossil-hunters will likely be monster fans of the award-winning Dinosaur Museum at Dorchester, and taking a detour while in town to the Teddy Bear Museum. If they’re watery types, they’ll have a whale of a time at the Splashdown Water Park in Poole and the walk-through underwater tunnel at the Bournemouth Oceanarium. Closer to Newlands and Dino Dan, families can trundle along on the Seaton Tramway for a scenic trip through the estuary of the River Axe, or feed a shoal of fish at Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium.
