Family campsites in Dorset
Serving up a long stretch of tempting coastline, family campsites in Dorset are a surefire hit. There's a taste of real country life down on the South Coast, with magnificent beauty spots, such as Durdle Door, where parents can lie back and take it all in. It's surrounded by Lulworth Cove, which means splashing, racing and more to entertain little ones. Forget the weather, there's Bovington Tank Museum or Adventure Wonderland to draw you indoors.
