10 Best Dog Friendly Caravan Holiday Parks 2026
Author: Robbie Lane | Last updated: 4 February 2026
Caravan parks offer a decent choice for pet friendly and dog friendly holidays. They usually have plenty of space for walkies and some are near to dog friendly beaches.
We've picked out 10 of the best pet friendly caravan holiday parks in the UK from a selection of the biggest seaside resorts and counties, including Dorset, Isle of Wight, Cornwall, Devon, Wales, Yorkshire, Norfolk, Blackpool and Skegness.
We've done a bit of digging (much like a dog) but have a proper read of the small print with each park as the phrase 'dog friendly' means a lot of different things. Some don't allow certain breeds of dogs, some have dog walking areas and so on. Some charge extra whilst others do a 'pets go free' offer (see our blog comparing the cost of bringing a dog with Haven, Parkdean, Center Parcs etc).
We picked our top 10 by looking at location, dog-friendliness, facilities, customer reviews and price. Our price comparison looked for the cheapest caravan for a family of four in August 2026.

Dog Friendly Holiday Parks: Our Top Picks for 2026
1. Haven Hafan y Môr Holiday Park,​ North Wales
Large resort, dog friendly beach nearby, Bark Yard agility course, waterpark
**Haven's Offers: Last minute bargains from £49 + Summer 2026 from £159**
Why it’s in our top 10:
Hafan y Môr Holiday Park makes our number one spot because it combines big-resort family facilities with genuinely strong dog friendliness, including a dog friendly beach nearby, dog friendly dining and one of Haven’s Bark Yard agility courses.
Who it’s best for:
Best for families who want a busy, activity-packed holiday where the dog is properly included rather than tolerated.
Location:
Coastal North Wales, next to a beach that allows dogs. Good base for the wider area, with plenty of outdoor exploring nearby.
Facilities:
Major investment has added a large indoor pool and splashpark (opened in 2017). Other facilities include an adventure village with high ropes, entertainment for children and adults, multiple playgrounds and nine places to eat. Some activities cost extra.
Dog friendliness:
Dogs are allowed at nearly all Haven parks, with a small list of breed restrictions ('Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentina, Fila Brasilieiro, Japanese Tosa and XL Bully'). Hafan y Môr stands out because you can take your dog into The Coast House restaurant and it has a Bark Yard agility course. Bark Yards are found at five other Haven parks:
Reviews:
3.9/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.4/5 on Google Reviews (83% overall).
Price:
£1149 for a dog friendly Saver caravan for a week in August 2026 (Friday or Monday arrivals are often cheaper). Price quoted is for a standard Haven holiday (facility access) rather than Haven Hideaway. Read the official comparison or our guide to Haven Hideaway. It's also worth saying that some of the other Haven resorts mentioned above tend to be cheaper than Hafan y Môr.

Dog-friendly Hafan y Mor has a big range of activities...
...and sea views from some caravans and lodges
How much do Haven charge for dogs?
Haven don't charge an extra fee for bringing your dog. However, the dog friendly accommodation is usually about £60 - £100 more expensive than an equivalent grade non-dog friendly caravan (read the blog to see how we worked this out).
The result is that you basically end up paying about the same as you would with Parkdean Resorts, Away Resorts or other big name holiday park brands.

2. Warmwell Holiday Park, Dorset
Woof Park agility course, indoor pool, fishing lakes, ski slope, lodges
**Warmwell offer: Lodge holidays from £169**
Why it’s in our top 10:
Warmwell Holiday Park makes the list as the best Parkdean Resorts option for dog owners who also want a big activity list, thanks to its Woof Park agility course and unusually wide range of attractions.
Who it’s best for:
Best for families who want non-stop activities and want dog agility facilities onsite. Less ideal if you want to be right on the beach.
Location:
Around 15 minutes inland. Nearest dog friendly beach is Ringstead Bay, which allows dogs all year.
Facilities:
Indoor pool with wave machine, fishing lakes, dry ski slope, high ropes, dinosaur themed mini golf, climbing wall, bungee trampolines, crafts, roller rink, plus soft play, playground, restaurant, café, takeaway, entertainment and kids’ shows.
Dog friendliness:
Warmwell has a Woof Park (one of seven Parkdean Resorts with agility courses). Dog friendly accommodation is limited to certain grades, including some lakeside lodges that book up early. Parkdean charges £49 per dog per holiday.
Your other options for Parkdean Resorts Woof Parks include:
Reviews:
4.3/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.4/5 on Google Reviews (87% overall).
Price:
£1689 for a week in August 2026 in a Superior dog friendly three-bedroom lodge (sleeps up to eight, better for six). Warmwell is lodge-only accommodation rather than caravans. That means that Warmwell isn't as cheap as some Parkdean Resorts, but you do get a lot more space. A couple of grades of accommodation are dog friendly, including some with lakeside views (these get booked up early). If you are looking for a cheaper Parkdean Resorts holiday park with a Woof Park then I would start with Camber Sands Holiday Park in Sussex. It tends to be a lot cheaper than Warmwell Holiday Park.

5. ​South Bay Holiday Park, Devon
Next to dog friendly beach, two pools, good value, hilly site
**South Bay Offers: save up to 30% on last minute deals + summer holidays from £295**
Why it’s in our top 10:
South Bay Holiday Park makes the list as a good-value Devon option next to a dog friendly beach, with both indoor and outdoor swimming, and generally strong review scores.
Who it’s best for:
Best for families who want swimming and a coastal setting at a reasonable price, and who don’t mind a steep site with lots of steps. The resort is run by John Fowler Holidays, which has about a dozen similar sites around the Westcountry. All of their caravan parks are dog friendly, but some are better than others in terms of space for walking.
Location:
Next to St Mary’s Bay, with around 100 steps down to the beach. The whole site is quite hilly, which gives it good views but makes it hard work if you're not very mobile.
Facilities:
Indoor pool and outdoor pool, evening entertainment (bingo, cabaret), kids’ club, playground, mini golf and basketball. Dogs aren’t allowed in the clubhouse. If that's important to you, take a look at John Fowler's Combe Martin Beach Holiday Park in Devon, which has a pet friendly area in the Clubhouse.
Dog friendliness:
Maximum two dogs. £50 per week per dog (assistance dogs free). Good range of dog friendly grades available, including Bronze and Silver options. That's good news, as you are sometimes stuck with the cheapest grade of caravan if you bring a pet.
Reviews:
83% overall (Google 4.2/5, TripAdvisor 4.1/5).
Price:
£968 for a family of four with a dog for a week in August 2026 in a Value, pet friendly two-bedroom caravan. A three-bedroom upgrade was around £200 extra.

£889 for a week in a Bronze caravan in August 2026 for a family of four, plus pet charges.
Parkdean Resorts has an abundance of holiday parks around this part of East Anglia, so I would also check prices at Cherry Tree. Cherry Tree is a good choice if you want more facilities whilst California Cliffs is a better choice if you want easy beach access.

Our visit to California Cliffs Holiday Park
"And what are the facilities like at California Cliffs Holiday Park? I'd say that they are pretty good, but I have seen Parkdean Resorts with a wider range of things to do. The swimming pool is nice as it has an indoor and outdoor section, which are linked together. When we visited, it was jam-packed and there were lots of people enjoying the outdoor pool on what was a really lovely spell of weather."

​Dog Friendly Caravan Holiday Parks: FAQs
How much does it cost to take a dog to a caravan holiday park?
Most holiday parks charge between £40 and £100 per dog per week. Some parks build the cost into the accommodation price, while others run occasional “pets go free” offers. See our blog, which compares the price of bringing a dog with different brands, including Haven, Center Parcs and Away Resorts.
Are there breed restrictions at dog friendly holiday parks?
Some operators restrict certain breeds, particularly those listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act. It’s always best to check the park’s individual terms and conditions before booking.
Can dogs go into restaurants and facilities on caravan parks?
This depends on the park. Some allow dogs into specific restaurants or seating areas, while others restrict dogs to outdoor terraces only. Facilities such as swimming pools are always dog-free. Haven always have at least one dog friendly restaurant at their parks.
Do any caravan parks have dog agility courses?
Yes. Haven has Bark Yard agility courses at selected parks, while Parkdean Resorts operates Woof Parks. These provide enclosed spaces where dogs can run and play off lead. We've also visited several parks with a designated dog walking field. See our favourite dog friendly Haven parks.
