About this site

Swanage Coastal Park is a holiday caravan and lodge park set on a hillside above Swanage in Dorset, with sea views across Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills. The park sits on the Jurassic Coast in Purbeck, and the town centre is a short walk downhill for shops, cafes and the beach. Most stays here are in static caravans and lodges for hire, including two and three bedroom caravans that sleep up to six, and some lodges come with a private hot tub. For the summer holidays only, an informal grass field called Coastal Heights opens for tents, from 17 July to 6 September 2026, with no electric hook-up. Touring caravans and motorhomes are not accepted at any time, so this is not a touring park. It is pet friendly and has a children's play area, though there are no bars, restaurant or shop on site and the hillside layout means some steep paths, so it suits guests who are happy walking into Swanage for food and drink. Caravans and lodges book year round through the Shorefield booking system, and summer camping pitches at Swanage Coastal Park start from £26 a night on a minimum three night stay.

Good to know

Can I pitch a tent at Swanage Coastal Park?
Yes, but only in summer. The park opens an informal grass field called Coastal Heights for tents from 17 July to 6 September 2026. These pitches have no electric hook-up, and touring caravans and motorhomes are not accepted anywhere on the park.
Does Swanage Coastal Park take touring caravans or motorhomes?
No, the park does not take tourers or motorhomes at any time of year. Stays are in static caravans and lodges for hire, some with private hot tubs, plus the tents-only summer camping field. Bigger touring units will need a different Dorset site.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, the park is pet friendly and welcomes well behaved dogs in designated pet-friendly accommodation and on the camping field. Dogs must be kept on a lead around the park. Shorefield has run offers where pets stay free, so check the current terms when you book your dates.
How close is Swanage town?
The town centre is a short walk downhill from the park, giving easy access to shops, cafes, the beach and the pier. The hillside setting means some steep paths, so the walk back up is a pull. The park itself may not suit those with walking difficulties.
How much does camping cost at Swanage Coastal Park?
Summer camping pitches start from £26 a night, based on a minimum three night stay during the school holidays. Caravan and lodge prices are not published as a headline rate and are quoted through the Shorefield booking system when you search your dates online.
Is there a bar or shop on site?
No, there are no bars, restaurant or shop on the park. There is a children's play area, a laundrette, reception and free WiFi for light browsing. For meals, drinks and groceries you head into Swanage, which is a short walk away.
