Camping tips for Dorset
The most popular stretches of Jurassic Coast get very busy in school holidays — Lulworth Cove car park can be full before 9am in peak summer. Book Lulworth and Durdle Door pitches well in advance. Coastal sites face predominantly south-westerly winds; in an exposed storm these can be severe. The Isle of Purbeck is technically not an island but the Wareham channel makes it feel like one; roads can back up at the Sandbanks ferry or the Corfe causeway. Many Dorset sites are small and farm-based, with limited facilities but outstanding location — read descriptions carefully before booking.
About camping in Dorset
Dorset became England's newest National Park in 2019 when the Cranborne Chase AONB was renamed the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, and it borders the New Forest National Park to the east. The county is strongly associated with Thomas Hardy, who set most of his novels here ("Wessex" in his fiction; Dorset in reality). The Dorset AONB covers roughly a third of the county's area. Bournemouth and Poole to the east have become part of the BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) unitary authority and are now technically in their own county, but most visitors treat them as part of a wider Dorset experience.
