Luxury caravan parks near Lulworth Cove

·

Choose camping or glamping in Lulworth Cove and you’ll have the best of the Jurassic Coast just a flip-flop away. If you’re heading to Dorset for fossil hunting, coastal walking or seaside fun, Lulworth is a great base. In the middle of Dorset’s 95-mile UNESCO-protected coastline, it’s geologically fascinating and even without an expert eye, it’s an idyllic spot. Boats bob in the clear water of the natural harbour with its white pebble beach and surroundings of green hills and crumbling cliffs. Head west up and over the hill and you reach the familiar landmark of Durdle Door, a limestone arch, over the sea. There are plenty of camping and glamping sites in this part of Dorset and the Hipcamp team have selected the best to feature here. The range includes everything from basic campsites, where the location is the star attraction, to fancy glamping sites where the luxurious accommodation is almost as tempting as the destination. Whether you want a place to pitch your own tent, a pre-pitched bell tent, yurt, tipi or something more luxurious, there’ll be something in our Lulworth Cove campsite collection to suit you.

Swim, snorkel, kayak, cruise or simply gaze at the clear blue waters of Lulworth Cove. The coast is, of course, the main event here and there’s coasteering and snorkelling for the more adventurous, rockpooling and fossil-hunting for the curious. Just west of Lulworth Cove is Stair Hole. You don’t need to be a geologist to notice the interesting rock formations here; caves, blow holes, tunnels and the layered rocks of the brilliantly-named Lulworth Crumple are visible for all to see. The South West Coast Path, a 630-mile national trail which traces round Dorset, Devon Cornwall and Somerset, provides well-signposted walking on the coast here. It’s a short but steep walk west to reach Durdle Door and its crescent-shaped shingle beach. Both Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are on a five-mile stretch of coast that’s in the ownership of the Lulworth Estate and you can visit the estate’s other big attraction, Lulworth Castle, a few miles inland during a stay here too. Perhaps more recognisable and still within reach is Corfe Castle.

Other things to do during a camping or Glamping Holiday in Lulworth Cove involve exploring further afield in Dorset. Lulworth is well placed, between Weymouth and Swanage, if you have plans to see the sights: the National Trust-managed Hardy’s Cottage – birthplace of the author Thomas Hardy, Monkey World Ape Sanctuary and the Bovington Tank Museum to name a few. For more information on things to do in and around Lulworth Cove, take a look at the Visit Dorset website.

At the heart of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset's Lulworth Cove is an almost totally circular shingle bay nestled below dramatic cliffs. Within a few miles of the cove there are heaps of great campsites, though only the very best make the Hipcamp cut. Which Lulworth campsite will you choose?

A very warm welcome to our guests at Little Eden, a restful and relaxing, riverside campsite for tents and campervans with grass pitches. We’re in a great spot if you love fishing, kayaking, gorge walking, cycling, seasides, fossil hunting, wild swimming, fell running, bird watching, archaeology or even Viking history! We are 9 miles from the mystical Glastonbury Abbey and Tor and directly on a Sustrans 33 cycle path route. The River Brue runs alongside the campsite with damsel flies fluttering by and kingfishers darting back and forth. We are on the Somerset levels so the sunsets are amazing as well as night time stargazing. We have a private, wooden jetty where you can launch your own paddle board. It’s a perfect get away for campers and nature lovers. Bring your own raised BBQs and logs or buy firewood on site. A family run campsite around 30 miles south of Bristol on the banks of the River Brue, it has a relaxed vibe and we try to keep things simple and straight forward. It’s ideal for doing some day trips nearby, then lighting the BBQ and playing Frisbee (games box you are most welcome to use). Shower and toilet, drinking water, washing-up sink in garden kitchenette. Our big sister site is just 4 miles away, and the café bar at 'Wall Eden Farm' serves fantastic coffee, cake, and family-made Somerset cider.

Burnham on Sea close by has great fish and chips, a sandy beach, a pier and promenade if you like salty fingers and sandy toes. *DIRECTIONS* Little Eden Adventures is on Goole Maps Postcode takes you within 200 meters of campsite, look for white house with flagpole on stone bridge over river. What3words master.musical.titles. Our grandmother and her 5 sisters grew up milking cattle on the land. It’s steeped in history and archaeology.

66km from Lulworth Cove · 24 units · Tents, Motorhomes · Taunton, Somerset, South West England
As you'd expect from a site with such a name, there's a whole lot of space in which to relax and explore at 5 Acres, a large grassy site in the Somerset Levels. Kids and dogs are both welcome on site here, and there's plenty of scope for them to run about and play games safely away from barbecues and campfires (which are also permitted to keep you warm and fed in the evenings). Facilities on site include firepits, a toilet and shower block and outdoor sinks with mains water. Dogs must be kept on leads at all time. We class ourselves as a quite site so no amplified music. The premier pitch is fully enclosed so dogs can be let off the lead. There is a maximum of six people allowed on this pitch at any one time. Visitors are allowed as long as the total number of people doesn't exceed six and they are chargeable at the overnight rate and must leave by 18:00 - Sorry, had the envelope pushed a bit! Mains hook ups are 6Amp max rated. Pitches are approximately 16m x 20m. The flag, firepit and pitch number line up in the centre of your pitch. The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. The Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby. And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…) Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road.

131km from Lulworth Cove · 6 units · Motorhomes, Glamping · England
Small dog-friendly site on the banks of the river Severn Adjacent to the Severn Way and half an hour’s walk from the canal Wildlife haven within walking distance of pubs and Frampton on Severn Craving a peaceful time filled with wildlife watching, long walks and relaxing by the water? On the banks of the River Severn, Baldwin’s Brook Glamping in Gloucestershire fits the bill. This small site is a wildlife haven adjacent to the Severn Way, a long-distance trail which traces the river downstream. Birdwatching prospects are excellent here, and there’s plenty of peace if you’d rather sit and relax by a firepit or check out the stunning views and sunsets. The site is part of a working family farm with lots of livestock. From the farm, it’s a 45-minute walk to Frampton on Severn, which is home to the longest village green in England and the lively Frampton Country Fair (think funfair… and 400 stalls full of good stuff). Baldwin’s Brook Glamping is also half an hour’s walk away from the Cotswold Canal Trust Visitor Centre by The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal if you’d like to grab a spot on a boat trip or sip a coffee by the canal. When you'd rather have a chilled beer, two pubs are within half a mile of the site (only 10 minutes’ walk away). Strike up a conversation with a local about the next Severn Bore, the huge tidal wave which races for 25 miles from Awre to Gloucester down the estuary just a handful of times per year.
