Dorset and dogs are the perfect match. Your faithful friend can sniff out the magic of Corfe Castle (and likely beat you up its steep hill) or chase his tail on the sandy beach as the sun sets through the Durdle Door. He'll even be welcome in Durlston Country Park, where 280 acres and plenty of sticks should keep him happy! It's all here, at the touch of a button, with this selection of welcoming and dog friendly campsites in Dorset.
