Giants Head Caravan Park

Giants Head Caravan Park is a traditional 50 pitch touring and camping site set on a terraced hillside above Cerne Abbas in central Dorset. The grassy pitches take tents, touring caravans and motorhomes across roughly three and a half acres, with electric hook-up available and long views over the surrounding countryside. Cerne Abbas village, with its shop, tea room and three pubs, sits just over a mile away, and the county town of Dorchester is 8 miles south. Minterne House and Gardens is 4 miles off, while the Jurassic Coast at Weymouth is around 13 miles away, so this is a countryside base rather than a seaside one. The site suits walkers and families who want quiet nights, space between pitches and a dog-friendly field near the Wessex Ridgeway. It will not suit anyone after glamping, a bar or an on-site shop, since Giants Head keeps things simple. A separate dog area, laundry and washing-up facilities, and easy access to South West Coast Path routes and local Treasure Trails round out the stay. The park sits within the Dorset National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). It usually opens from around Easter to early November, with non-electric pitches from £20 a night and electric pitches from £25 a night.
