Lyons Gate Caravan Park

Lyons Gate Caravan Park is a family-run touring and camping park set in wooded countryside near Cerne Abbas in central Dorset, built around four fishing lakes. The park sits just off the A352 north of Dorchester, and the Dorset coast at Weymouth is roughly a 30 minute drive, so it works as a calm inland base for exploring the county. Level pitches take tents, touring caravans and motorhomes, many within yards of the lakes and with electric hook-ups available. Surrounding woodland holds nature trails and a wooded children's play area, and the four well-stocked lakes make this a strong choice for anglers as well as families. It is a peaceful, modern site rather than an entertainment-led holiday park, so anyone wanting bars, pools and clubs should look elsewhere, while those after fishing, walking and quiet nights will be well served. Cerne Abbas and its famous chalk giant are a short drive away, and the wider area is good for walking and cycling. The owners ask you to phone ahead to check availability before booking, as space can be limited. Lyons Gate is open across the main season, and pitch prices are quoted through the park's online booking system.
