Why camp in Dorset?
Dorset is home to the Jurassic Coast, England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site — 95 miles of cliffs and beaches that expose 185 million years of Earth's history in a single walk. Beyond the fossils and geology, Dorset offers camping in some of the most diverse and beautiful countryside in southern England: chalk downland, heathland National Nature Reserves, the Fleet Lagoon behind Chesil Beach, and the ancient earthworks of Maiden Castle. The county has no motorways, which slows its pace to something more in keeping with a camping holiday, and its market towns — Sherborne, Blandford Forum, Wareham — retain genuine character.
Things to do near Dorset campsites
Fossil hunting at Charmouth and Lyme Regis is one of the most family-friendly activities on the Jurassic Coast — ichthyosaur and plesiosaur remains are still found regularly. Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and Chapman's Pool are iconic natural arches and coves accessible on foot. The coastal resort of Swanage is an excellent base for the Isle of Purbeck; Corfe Castle dominates the skyline above the village. Abbotsbury Swannery is a unique and wonderful attraction for families. The market town of Dorchester, Hardy's county town, offers the Dorset Museum and Roman town house. Wild swimming in chalk streams is a growing activity here.
