About the site


Golden Cap Holiday Park has a superb location in the small village of Seatown, right on the Jurassic Coast at Seatown Beach. Nestled in a quiet valley by a stream and surrounded by National Trust land, it's a perfect location for a relaxing holiday involving walking, exploring and dining out. Pitch up on non-electric grass pitches in the Big Berries summer camping field, situated up on the hill with views across the valley and coast, or on hard-base pitches with electric, water and drainage. If you're more glamper than camper, book a stay in one of the Jurassic Escape Pods, fitted with a double bed, two single beds, kitchen and bathroom. Linens are not provided so please remember to bring your own, or add a bedding pack to your booking. Pets are welcome in two out of six of these pods. At the front of the park, close to the beach, there is a selection of luxury two and three bedroom lodges with sea or countryside views, as well as two and three bedroom caravans and deluxe caravans, many with sea views. Golden Cap Holiday Park is dog-friendly. There is a dog exercising meadow next to the beach and footpaths through the park and across the surrounding 2,000 acres of National Trust land. Please do note dogs are not permitted on Seatown Beach between 1st May and 30th September. Campfires and fire pits are not permitted and BBQs must be raised from the ground.

Pods are open from February until the end of November while the Big Berries Camping Field is open from mid July until the end of August. Touring pitches are available all year.

A note from the site themselves...

Golden Cap is a family-run holiday park that has been in the same family for over 35 years. It has a beautiful and idyllic location on the World Heritage Coastline, just 150 yards from Seatown Beach.

The views and walks around the area are spectacular. It's a place to really get away from it all, with walking, fossil hunting, great pubs and lovely places to visit along the coast, including Lyme Regis, West Bay and Abbotsbury.

The park isn't your typical all singing, all dancing park, it's a place to get away from it all, relax and unwind and spend quality time with friends and family. If you do prefer more of those kind of facilities, our nearby Highlands End Holiday Park has a bar and restaurant, swimming pool, soft play and more.

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesMar 2025

Such a fantastic location, plenty of walks available or just look out to sea from the many picnic tables or the local pub, The Anchor, which is a 5 minute walk away. The onsite shop is fully stocked with all that you might need and all the staff we met are a credit to the campsite. The shower cubicles are of a high standard with a separate drying section.

Perfect beach front location

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesFeb 2025

We really enjoyed our stay in Seatown, excellent facilities and level of cleanliness. Advice to book into nearby pubs well in advance. Recommend the Anchor Inn. Food and ambiance is amazing. Very small so get booked in. Amazing pizza and drinks kiosk during the day. Fab southwest coastal path walks from the site

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesFeb 2025

We booked Golden cap for a cheeky couple of nights during half term and a change of scenery in our camper. From check in to pitch up, it was all faultless and easy! Arrival was a doddle, our hard standing pitch was massive! The facilities for our pitches were sublime. They were massive clean and very modern! The park is a stones throw from the beach, pub, and you can get a breakfast bap from 9am at the bottom of the lane. The lady in the Spar shop onsite was so friendly and helpful 🙂 Booking to come back for sure, one of the best sites we have stayed on. Cannot recommend enough.
