Holiday Parks in Dorset
Welcome to West Dorset Leisure Holidays! Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast by staying at one of our family-managed holiday parks in Dorset – Highlands End, Golden Cap, Graston Copse, Larkfield, Sandyholme and Eype Beach.
The parks provide a base from which you can explore the beautiful and unspoiled Dorset coast and countryside. Each park has something different to offer whether you are looking for peace and quiet or great facilities and views. Coastal holiday staycations are our speciality!
We have a fantastic range of accommodation to choose from, including luxury lodges, caravan holiday homes, glamping, apartments & bungalows, and pitches for motorhomes & touring caravans and camping. If you find you really love it in Dorset, we even have Holiday Homes for sale, so you can make one of our parks your home from home and get to know the area like a local.
We are dog friendly, offer short breaks and winter breaks and have a choice of holiday homes for sale across our parks.
