Newlands Holidays is the ideal base for exploring the historic town of Lyme Regis (10 minutes), known as The Pearl of Dorset, and also just five minutes from Charmouth Beach, one of the very best places in the UK to find fossils and prehistoric remains. It's not called the Jurassic Coast for nothing!

About the site


The five star, family-run park at Newlands Holidays is set in 23 acres of grounds and surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside. Across four fields, there is a range of pitches for tents, caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Level grass pitches (7m x 4m) with an optional 10 amp electric hook up are available in the Red, Blue (with unmarked areas), Black and Yellow fields, overlooking the valley. These pitches suit tents, tourers, and motorhomes, with larger options for bigger tents. Hardstanding options include standard electric pitches with a 16 amp hook up and awning space, as well as fully serviced hardstanding pitches with 16 amp hook ups, water, and drainage. Pitches can accommodate touring vans up to 7.5m and motorhomes up to 7m. If you prefer to leave the tent behind, four insulated and double-glazed wooden camping pods are available. Each accommodates four, including one double and two single beds, along with a picnic bench and space for a BBQ outside. Static caravans and holiday lodges are also available. Dogs are welcome onsite.

Newlands Holidays is open from 03/03 to 02/11 in 2026.
