  • Family-friendly Dorset park five minutes' walk from Durdle Door
  • Lulworth Cove half an hour's walk; 15 minutes' drive to Monkey World
  • Bar-restaurant and adventure play areas on site; dogs welcome
However many times you’ve seen it in pictures or videos, Durdle Door is one of those places that you really need to see for yourself. The huge stone arch on the Dorset coast is one of the UK’s most loved sights – whether you’re admiring it from the beach or swimming/kayaking around its base you’re sure to be wowed by its sheer size. You’ll easily be able to take in those spectacular views as many times as you like when you stay at Durdle Door Holiday Park. As the name suggests, this spacious family-friendly park is just a few minutes’ walk from the arch itself – and there are lots of other great Jurassic Coast sights within easy reach too. From this location (about a mile from the village of West Lulworth) the South West Coast Path links you up with other popular spots like Lulworth Cove, Stair Hole and Man O' War beach (none more than 45 minutes’ walk away). The coast path and many of the local beaches welcome dogs – and so does this park; they’re even allowed to join you in the bar and restaurant, making this an excellent base for those of you travelling with your beloved pets. Main meals, snacks, pizzas and kids’ meals are all on the menu here, along with a good range of hot and cold drinks. Other facilities at the park include a well-stocked shop (handy for your picnic bits and barbecue supplies), a launderette and a couple of excellent play areas – one suitable for toddlers, the other with more challenging adventures for slightly older kids.

What customers say

Great sea views, perfect for coastal walks to places like Durdle Door. Staff are friendly, facilities are clean with a good play park. Some found pitches and facilities far apart, with road noise. Showers are a bit dated, and there weren't enough toilets for some. Price felt a bit high for what you get.

Abbeyfield powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice pub, good shop, chill vibe, reception staff were friendly

Disliked Showers were aweful.... Only 5 showers for females, same for males. No water the first morning and dribble of water second morning. Had to go to reception on both occasions.

To be fair - reception gave me a key to shower in mobile home instead where pressure was good.

However at close to £70/night €80/night for electric camervan pitch - this is not acceptable compared to continental showers in modern service area with 10 or more shower units for each sex for €20 to €30.

Powered grass campervan campsite (sea view)

Liked Amazing views, actual campsite is very peaceful and relaxing and felt really safe.
Staff were really friendly and amenities were good standard, clean and plenty of showers.

Disliked I wouldn’t stay on the sea view pitch again, although the campsite was perfect and the only real problem with the camp was the toilets were a good walk away.
The sea view pitch is right next to the public car park and the cars and people there were really loud, this may have been just the night we stayed but it was enough to make me not keen on a rebook for that pitch type.
The pitches closer to reception definitely looked better so yes you loss the view but seem safer.

Local attractions

Once you’ve marvelled at Durdle Door from the beach, how about seeing it close up? You can hire canoes or join guided trips from Lulworth Cove (five minutes’ drive/half an hour’s walk) – there are also paddleboard outings and RIB rides to try out here. Rather stick to dry land? There are plenty of options for walks around here – popular routes take you from the park along the South West Coast Path to Fossil Forest (a favourite fossil-hunting spot), to the Scratchy Bottom cliffs or all the way to Ringstead Bay on a seven-mile hilly coastal trail. Look out for wildlife as you wander – especially the 32 species of butterfly that live around here. For family days out, take a look at the likes of Monkey World (15 minutes’ drive), The Tank Museum (15 minutes) and the steam-driven Swanage Railway (35 minutes). Corfe Castle (25 minutes) and Abbotsbury’s Swannery and Subtropical Gardens (45 minutes) might also be on your radar – or maybe the sandy beach in Weymouth (half an hour)?
