About this site

Ulwell Holiday Park, formerly Ulwell Cottage Caravan Park, is a family-run holiday park set under the Purbeck Hills just outside Swanage in Dorset. It has run as a family business since 1950 and sits close to the Jurassic Coast, with Swanage and its Blue Flag beach a short drive away, plus Studland's sandy beaches, Corfe Castle and Durlston Country Park within easy reach. The gently sloping, terraced park offers several ways to stay: caravan holiday homes for hire, spacious touring and motorhome pitches, tent camping, and wooden glamping pods. It welcomes both families and couples, and up to two well-behaved dogs are allowed on pitches and in the bar, so it works for people bringing a pet. Adults-only travellers wanting a child-free site should note that the play park and pool draw families. Beyond the pitches, the park has an indoor swimming pool, a children's play area and the on-site Village Inn bar and restaurant, so you do not need to leave for an evening meal. Ulwell Holiday Park is open from March to January. Touring, camping and holiday home prices are quoted through the operator's booking system, and its glamping pods have been advertised from £35 a night with a two-night minimum.

Good to know

Is Ulwell Holiday Park dog friendly?
Yes, up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome per pitch or caravan at no extra charge, and dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating and bar area of the on-site Village Inn. Dogs must be kept on a lead, and there are dog-friendly beaches and hill walks nearby around Swanage.
What pitches and accommodation are available?
The park offers touring and motorhome pitches, tent camping, wooden glamping pods and caravan holiday homes for hire, on a gently sloping terraced site. It suits both families and couples. Booking is handled by the reception team by phone or online through the operator's booking system.
When is Ulwell Holiday Park open?
The park is open from March to January each year, closing for a short period in the depths of winter. This makes it suitable for spring, summer and autumn stays near Swanage. Exact dates and availability are confirmed through the operator's booking system or by calling reception.
Is it good for families?
Yes, the park welcomes families and has an indoor swimming pool, a children's play park and a bar and restaurant on site. Swanage's Blue Flag beach and Studland's sandy beaches are close by. It is not an adults-only site, so expect children during school holidays.
How far is Swanage beach?

Has the park changed its name?
