  • Peaceful family park on the edge of Owermoigne and Moreton villages
  • A 15-minute drive to Jurassic Coast; 20 minutes to Weymouth
  • Play area, picnic area and wildlife pond on site
‘See, that’s how good little ducklings do it,’ you can say hopefully to the kids as they watch the baby birds obediently waddle after mum around the park: Sandyholme Holiday Park’s (fenced) wildlife pond with its flocks of geese and ducks is a big favourite with ducklings of all ages. As is the peaceful location and the chilled atmosphere, as you let any thoughts of work roll away from you like water off a duck’s back… The park is tucked in a secluded location on the edge of the villages of Owermoigne and Moreton, surrounded by trees and with the Tadnoll Brook river flowing past the park. The amenities are equally excellent here, too: clean showers and toilets, a play area, a picnic area and a playing field are all on site, as is a reception area with a small shop. While you're up at reception, have a chat with the friendly, knowledgeable staff for info on walks and things to do nearby for the whole family – this is a handy location for visiting the Isle of Purbeck and Jurassic Coast, so they may well point you towards the likes of Corfe Castle, Durdle Door and the beaches at Ringstead Bay or Weymouth. Country pubs, farm shops and nature reserves are all nearby too, so feel free to take tips on those too. Guests at Sandyholme can also use the facilities at fellow West Dorset Leisure Holidays site Highlands End Holiday Park 18 miles west for a small charge: take your pick from an indoor pool, sauna/steam room or pitch and putt, before getting your beaks twitching at the meals in the family bar.

What customers say

Highly recommended campsite, lauded for spotless facilities, spacious pitches, and helpful staff. Guests enjoyed the peaceful vibe, duck pond, and great play area. Convenient location. Minor issues: occasional wasps, limited shop hours, unisex restrooms, and inconsistent hot water/shower pressure at peak times.

Jurgita B.

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Beautiful campsite that has everything you need. We stayed on a grass pitch with the campervan. The pitches without electricity aren’t marked, so tents were nicely spread out. We loved that campers set up along the edges of the field, which meant everyone could enjoy the large open space in the middle for ball, racket or running around games without disturbing others - it felt like we had a huge garden for the weekend! 😀
The nearby stream, children’s play area, pond with ducks and chickens, and football pitch were all added bonuses. We would definitely stay here again!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a fantastic review of your stay, we are very happy that you enjoyed it so much.

Family friendly, quiet and spacious, clean and tidy. New favourite.

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Very clean, neat and spacious pitches. Lots of lush, green grass which was neatly cut.

Toilets and showers were accessible in the field we were staying in.

There was a park and a little pond with lots of running space just off our field which the children loved

It was quiet and the facilities were all clean.

Easy drive to lots of different amazing locations, lots of which are advertised in the camp facilities.

Staff were always available to phone call and ask questions, very friendly and helpful.

I've given a 10 for WiFi because I never even thought about it, my phone had enough signal and we weren't really on our phones.

Disliked There were quite a few stinging nettles in the areas in between pitches.

The park doesn't have any adult seating at the park itself, there is seating behind a bush next to the park.

The reception and shop were only open for a couple of hours a day. It would be nice for the shop to be open for longer, especially to sell ice cream on a hot day.

Local attractions

Go a-roamin’ to Dorchester’s Roman Amphitheatre or the Roman townhouse remains, get your toes wet or go fishing at seaside resorts Charmouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay, get energetic with easily accessible golfing, fishing, scuba diving and sailing... take in the views of Golden Cap and the island of Portland from Chesil Bank and West Bay, or just pack a picnic and explore Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast… there are walks and trails all around the countryside surrounding Sandyholme to find the perfect chill out spot. Savvy shoppers should make a stroll around Bridport a top tick on the shopping list: this market town has some of the widest streets in England and has had an outdoor Saturday market since permish was granted by Liz the First way back in the 16th-century. Beaminster, Dorchester and Sherborne are good additional options for maxing out the credit cards with handcrafted goodies and shops to suit all tastes and budgets. The seaside town of Weymouth is just one of many to spend a day or afternoon in, following in the watery steps of George III who came here 14 times in the hope that a Weymouth dip would cure his bouts of insanity (alas, it didn’t, but it did put Weymouth on the map as a top tourist destination: go see).
