Newlands Holiday Park

Birds eye view of pods, non electric camping area and beach

Family-friendly park just outside Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast
Pools, play areas and indoor play
Modern amenities including hot showers and a launderette

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 mini guests. There's also an indoor heated pool – and an outdoor one with 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.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful views, cleanliness, pools and club area, proximity to coast and coastal walks. Pleasant staff. Shop on site. We’ve been here before and will definitely return

Disliked: Surprising road noise for much of the night.
Closure of washing facilities on our tier as we were in a quiet week, meaning a trek to find them in another field.

Tent occupants are the only people on site required to pay for use of pool (friendlier to add it to the pitch price).

Liked: The pitch was lovely. The staff were very friendly. The bar was well looked after and the kids enjoyed their breakfast.

Disliked: The pool was always fully booked so couldn't book online. Toilets were cleaned very early with a lot of staff. Felt uncomfortable using it

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Kate,
Many thanks for your review. We are pleased to hear that you like the pitch and enjoyed our restaurant. We are sorry that you were unable to get a swim, this is very unusual for the pool to be full all of the time and that you felt uncomfortable when our housekeeping staff were cleaning the toilets. We try to clean them as quickly and efficiently as possible, had you of made us aware, we would have waited until you had finished using the facilities.
Best wishes,

Liked: The set up was really thought out, the pitch was spacious and with the electric hook up made it even better.

Top notch place we will definitely be back for another stay.

Staff friendly.
Lovely park for the kids to play in, inside and outside pool was great, has sauna and jacuzzi.
Nice little pub onsite with food and some entertainment.

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 see zebras and meerkats at the Axe Valley Wildlife Park, 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.
