Campsites on the Dorset Coast
Here's a coastline worth shouting (or roaring) about, on which the footprints of dinosaurs, and their ancient fossils can still be found. The Jurassic Coast is dotted with quaint villages, and then there are the big hitters like Gold Cap's shining sandstone facade, 17 miles of fun at Chesil Beach and famous Lulworth Cove. Get ready to explore all things Jurassic from these tempting campsites on the Dorset Coast.
