About Sandyholme Holiday Park
An ideal location for exploring Dorset and the Jurassic Coast. Enjoy days at the beach with Bowleaze Cove and Durdle Door within a 15 minute drive, or take the 20 minute drive down to Weymouth for some traditional seaside fun. Surrounded by nature reserves, rivers and scenic walking trails, the site is great for a peaceful stay. There are a total of 80 non electric pitches on offer, each around 9m x 9m, allowing both tents and tourers. All of the pitches allow up to six people, perfect for families. If you are in need of an electric hook up, there are also 13 electric 7m x 5m grass pitches with a 10 amp hook up, allowing tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans. Or, for campervans, caravans and motorhomes, there are 10 gravel 8m x 4.5m pitches with a 16 amp hook up. If you want to enjoy nature in style, the site also offers the choice of three types of bell tents. Two of these are unfurnished to give you the camping experience without needing a tent! A fire pit and bag of logs are included. One is pet friendly, the other is pet free. Or, for a bit more luxe on your holiday, choose the furnished bell tent. This comes equipped with a double bed and two single camp beds with electric, lighting and a heater provided. Outside the tent, you will find a picnic bench and fire pit equipped with logs. Sorry, no dogs. There are also three safari tents sleeping up to two adults and two children. These include a double bedroom, twin bedroom and a kitchen with an electric hob, fridge and kettle. Outside is a covered decking area, a fire pit and a bag of logs. Sorry, no dogs. Please note that linen is not provided in any of the glamping units but may be added to your booking.

Evenings can also be spent enjoying a BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. Fires in fire pits are allowed but smokeless fuel must be used.

We arrived later in the day so reception was shut but due to the lack of reception at our previous site, the rebooking form didn't return. So on arrival, we had no code to get in or anyone to contact! Luckily a member of staff was walking her dog and having checked my previous booking confirmation, gave us the code and a run down of where to pitch. Very pleasant lady. Lovely, quiet spacious pitches with great facilities. It is in a very quiet, rural area but the roads leading to it are easy to navigate. Sadly there was poor reception/Wi-Fi which again made our arrival a little more stressful. Definitely a place I would use again if in the area, although I would definitely make sure the pre booking email was sent and a response received. My bad🤗 Thank you for a great stay.
