A fun, well respected site for kids
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Indoor and outdoor pools with little splash play area
Incredible play ground which kept child entertained for hours
Well stocked shop
Loads of showers and loos
Super helpful and friendly staff
Free soft play open until 9pm
Disliked It’s a busy site with a lot of children up late. Next to a road so not exactly a rural idyllic despite excellent location. For me and my 5 year old it was perfect but if that’s not your jam still clear!

We really enjoyed our stay at…
Camping pod
Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Newlands. There was lots to do to keep our kid entertained, in particular the playground was top notch. The pools were great, decent temp and really clean. The restaurant food was excellent. Staff were all nice and friendly. The pod was a decent size, beds were comfy. We like the location, Charmouth is lovely, the beach is a great day out and Lyme Regis is a short drive/bus ride and well worth a visit. We would definitely go back again.
Disliked The blinds let in too much light in the morning for me so we needed to block out the light with bin bags and blankets.

Lovely stay at Newlands last week.…
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely stay at Newlands last week. Shower and toilet block very clean and well maintained. Pitches are quite small and close to each other but this wasnt a problem for us and what we wanted.
We loved Dorset and would definitely use this park again.
Thank you 😊

Liked Clean facilities. Nice bar eating area. Enjoyed quiz night.
Disliked Obnoxious groundsman for berating us for having a drive away awning because it was bit attached to our motorhome. He called it a Gazebo.

Loved the pool and the pool…
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the pool and the pool supervisor was so helpful and lovely. She really made a difference to the experience as holiday park pools can often be over filled and stressful but she managed it so well, understanding it was a fun part of the holiday and not just being grumpy as it was so busy.
The restaurant was also brilliant. Again food is not always great in holiday parks but Newlands is the exception. The food was lovely and the staff were efficient and so helpful. It felt like everyone enjoyed working there and really wanted to make your holiday special.
Disliked Maybe fix some of the arcade machines it that is really picky and overall everything was great.
