The Inside Park

The Inside Park is a family run touring caravan and camping park set in ancient parkland on a working farm near Blandford Forum, Dorset. The site sits along Fairmile Road about two miles from Blandford Forum town centre, tucked away from the nearest road inside a private farm valley, so it stays quiet and dark at night. It takes touring caravans, motorhomes and tents across 120 pitches, most with electric hook up, and there are no static or seasonal pitches. Families are the core audience here: there is a large fenced adventure playground, an indoor games room with pool and table tennis, and over five miles of private waymarked trails for walking, cycling and dog walking. Dogs are welcome, though half the park is a designated no dogs zone, which suits campers who prefer a dog free spot. Washrooms sit inside converted 18th century stables and coach houses with free hot water, and there is a well stocked shop, a launderette and free Wi-Fi. The central Dorset location works as a base for both the coast and inland towns. The Inside Park opens from 1 April to 31 October. Low season pitch fees start at £15 a night, with per adult, child, electric and dog charges added on top, and a £25 deposit secures a booking.
