10 Best Dog Friendly Caravan Holiday Parks - 2024
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 only allow one pet, some have dog walking areas and so on. Some charge extra whilst others do a 'pets go free' offer.
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 2024.

Haven has 'Bark Yard' obstacle courses at five of its holiday parks
1. Haven Hafan y Môr Holiday Park North Wales (large resort, waterpark)
Haven's Hafan y Môr Holiday Park is a very large holiday park, which is dog friendly. It's also next to a beach that allows dogs (at the time of writing).
It makes our list as it is one of five Haven holiday parks that have 'Bark Yards'. These are purpose-built obstacle courses for dogs that can be found at:
Haven Hafan y Môr is our pick of the bunch because it has had a number of improvements in recent years. These include a large and impressive indoor swimming pool/splashpark, which opened a couple of years ago.
Other entertainment includes an 'adventure village' where you can do high ropes courses and the like. There is also entertainment for children and adults and a whopping nine different places to eat. Some activities cost extra but there are lots of free things to do, including several playgrounds.
Overall, customers give the park a score of 4/5 on TripAdvisor. On Google reviews it scores 4.4/5.
Price: £1048 for a dog friendly Saver caravan for a week in August 2024. Haven resorts are usually cheaper if you arrive on a Friday/Monday rather than Saturday.
When you book a Haven holiday, you'll be asked to choose either a standard 'Haven' holiday or a cheaper 'Haven Hideaway'. The cheaper option just gives you accommodation and access to the restaurants onsite. However, if you pay for a standard Haven holiday then it means you can use the swimming pool and other onsite facilities.
It's also worth saying that some of the other Haven resorts mentioned above tend to be cheaper than Hafan y Môr. If you're after a bargain, take a look at our guide to cheap holiday parks.

2. Warmwell Holiday Park (dog agility park, indoor swimming pool, fishing lakes, ski slope)
**Parkdean Resorts Black Friday: 1000s of holidays from £69 + up to 30% off 7 night holidays (expires 04/12/23)**
All 66 of the Parkdean Resorts around the UK allow dogs, but it’s worth giving a shout out (woof out?) to the seven resorts that have ‘Woof Parks’.
These are enclosed dog agility courses that are similar to Haven's Bark Yards. They provide a nice little playground for visiting pets.
Your options for Woof Parks include:
You may decide to go for whichever is nearest. However, I personally would start with Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset. It’s the joint ninth highest rated Parkdean Resorts holiday park, according to customer reviews (and the highest rated out of those with Woof Parks). Its average score is 4/5 on TripAdvisor or 4.4/5 on Google Reviews.
Unlike a lot of Parkdean Resorts, the accommodation is lodges 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).
Warmwell has a really interesting range of things to do including a dry ski slope as well as a new high ropes course. There’s an indoor swimming pool with a wave machine, fishing lakes, dinosaur themed minigolf, a climbing wall, hoverboards, bungee trampolines, crafts and a roller rink. For younger children, there’s soft play and a playground at Warmwell.
There’s a restaurant onsite, as well as a café and a takeaway. As with a lot of Parkdean Resorts, they also have a decent programme of evening entertainment and kids' shows.
The main negative about Warmwell in my opinion is that it’s 15 minutes inland. The nearest dog friendly beach is Ringstead Bay which allows dogs all year round.
Price: £1759 for a week in August 2024 in a Lanehouse dog friendly lodge with two bedrooms. It sleeps up to six people but is better for four people. Note that Warmwell has 'lodges' rather than 'caravans' across the site. A typical lodge at a Parkdean Resorts holiday park is 20ft wide whereas a caravan is much narrower at 10-14ft wide.
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.
These are enclosed dog agility courses that are similar to Haven's Bark Yards. They provide a nice little playground for visiting pets.
Your options for Woof Parks include:
- Newquay Holiday Park and Lizard Point Holiday Park in Cornwall
- Sandford Holiday Park and Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset
- Cayton Bay Holiday Park in Yorkshire
- Camber Sands Holiday Park in Sussex
- Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Wales.

3. St Ives Bay Holiday Park Cornwall (swimming pool, adjacent beach mostly dog friendly)
**St Ives Bay Discount Code: 10% off via this link with exclusive code HPGURU10 (expires 31/12/23)**
St Ives Bay Holiday Park didn't used to be a dog friendly holiday park, but it has new owners and became dog friendly from 2022 onwards. We've included it because it is good value, and it has excellent sea views. It's also unusual, because dogs can stay in any of the different accommodation. Lots of caravans just have a couple of dog friendly caravans, which limits your choice.
The smallprint is important with this park as the adjacent beach is dog friendly - with one exception. During July and August, dogs aren't allowed on the beach from 10am - 5pm. The rest of the year, dogs are welcome on the beach at any time of day. So, I'd say that it's an ideal park if you're visiting outside of peak season or if you do an early morning walk.
There's a maximum of two dogs per caravan and a charge of £60 per week, per dog. That's a little bit more expensive than some holiday parks (most charge about £30-£50 per week).
The resort has an indoor swimming pool, and it also runs surf lessons, if you fancy squeezing into a wetsuit. There's a bistro and bar, minigolf, a playground and kids' entertainments during the warmer months.
The choice of accommodation is very good. There are basic caravans, as well as adapted caravans for guests in wheelchairs and posher lodges and caravans with sea views if you want to upgrade.
Review scores are also excellent, although a lot of them refer to the park's time with its former owners. It scores 4.6/5 on Google Reviews or 4/5 on TripAdvisor.
We've found that it's usually much cheaper to arrive on a Friday or Monday at St Ives Bay Holiday Park.
Price: £1177 for a week in a value caravan for a family of four and one dog, during early August 2024. This was a Friday arrival.

4. Rockley Park Caravan Holiday Park Dorset (family friendly Haven park)
Haven is probably the best-known name in the UK caravan holiday park market and most of its parks allow dogs (besides a handful of breeds).
Rockley Park in Dorset gets good reviews (4/5 on TripAdvisor) and there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches in Dorset if you don't mind travelling a little bit.
The park is busy and family-friendly with an indoor swimming pool, kids' club, evening entertainment for the grown-ups and lots of facilities including water sports and a climbing wall. It's near to Poole and Bournemouth, which are both pleasant towns with plenty of attractions.
If you want to save a bit on a Haven holiday, check prices for arriving on a Friday or Monday instead of a Saturday. It's often quite a bit cheaper and you still get a full seven-day holiday.
Price: £956 for a week in a 'Saver dog friendly' caravan for a week in August 2024 for a family of four.
Haven has five main levels to its grading system. The cheapest models are now called 'Saver' caravans with the option to upgrade to Bronze, Silver, Gold and Signature (the most expensive). The cheapest caravans are narrower and don't have central heating, whilst the most expensive ones have better views, dishwashers and TVs in the bedrooms.

Haven's Rockley Park has indoor and outdoor swimming pools
5. South Bay Holiday Park Devon (next to dog friendly beach, two swimming pools)
**South Bay Offer: book 2024 holidays with a £50 deposit**
South Bay Holiday Park is a good value caravan site next to a lovely dog friendly beach called St Mary's Bay. The caveat is that you need to be pretty fit yourself, as there are about 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.
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.
You pay a supplement of £40 per week to bring a dog (assistance dogs are free). You can bring a maximum of two dogs on holiday with you to a John Fowler Holiday Park.
This is one of John Fowler's bigger caravan sites. It's got an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor swimming pool where you can try out kayaking without the risk of ending up in France. In the evening, there's bingo, cabaret and other entertainment.
It's worth noting that dogs aren't allowed in the clubhouse, so this may not be the one for you if you want to spend every night being entertained. If that's a priority, then I would look at John Fowler's Combe Martin Beach Holiday Park in Devon which has a pet friendly area in the Clubhouse.
Children can join with a kids' club, clamber on a playground or play a game of minigolf or basketball.
There's a choice of pet friendly chalets and caravans at South Bay Holiday Park. When we checked, there were Bronze and Silver dog friendly caravans available. That's good news, as you are sometimes stuck with the cheapest grade of caravan if you bring a pet.
Review scores for South Bay Holiday Park are very good (4.3/5 on Google Reviews, 4/5 on TripAdvisor).
Price: £1123 for a week for a family of four with a dog in August 2024. That was staying in a Bronze, pet friendly two-bedroom caravan. Upgrading to a silver caravan or a three-bedroom caravan was £120 extra.

6. Oakdene Forest Park Dorset (woodland walks, dog friendly indoor area)
**Oakdene Forest Park offers: Extra 15% off for NHS and emergency services + save 5% via this link with code AFFILIATE5**
All of the holiday parks run by Shorefield are dog friendly. However, Shorefield Country Park and Oakdene Forest Park both allow dogs into the main complex so they're worth a mention.
We've picked Oakdene Forest Park as it's next to lots of footpaths and woodland for walking. It's got an indoor seating area with snacks and water for pets provided. There's also a dog friendly terrace attached to the restaurant.
The resort has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, with a flume and water jets with the indoor pool. There are also lots of activities you can sign up for such as fencing, archery and crossbow. For something a bit tamer, try minigolf.
The downside with Oakdene Forest Park is that the coast is about half an hour away. Dog friendly beaches in Dorset include Milford on Sea Beach and the western end of Sandbanks Beach.
The park is near to the border with Hampshire and scores 4.4/5 on Google Reviews of 4/5 on TripAdvisor. There are plenty of dog friendly accommodation options, including cheap caravans and more luxurious lodges with hot tubs.
Shorefield sometimes do a 'pets go free' offer at Oakdene Forest Park.
Price: £869 for a Statement Caravan for a family of four and a dog for a week in August 2024.

7. South Lakeland Leisure Village Yorkshire (lakeside lodges, good for walks, up to three dogs)
**Winner: best value dog friendly holiday park**
South Lakeland Leisure Village is one of three holiday parks on the same site which share an impressive leisure complex. It's an excellent choice if you want to explore a bit of Yorkshire, the Lake District and Lancashire during your holiday. You can get to Windermere in about half an hour or Morecambe Bay in 15 minutes.
We've included it because you can bring up to three dogs, whereas most holiday parks set the limit at two. You'll pay an extra £45 per week, per pet. The local area is good for walks.
The cheaper accommodation is low-priced, but doesn't include 'leisure passes' which you'll need to buy separately if you want to use the large swimming pool and spa facilities. There are also fishing lakes at the site which are overlooked by some of the posher accommodation. You can upgrade to a hot tub holiday, if you enjoy that sort of thing.
One thing worth pointing out is that the park is very close to the M6. That's good news for getting out and about, but it means it isn't completely silent. Even so, guests give South Lakeland Leisure Village an outstanding review score of 4.4/5 on Google Reviews.
Price: £1083 for a family of four stating in a bronze lodge with one dog for a week in August 2024.

8. Marton Mere Holiday Park Blackpool (Haven park, swimming pool)
We've picked out a dog friendly Blackpool holiday park for our top 10, as it's a popular resort for a classic English seaside holiday.
However, the downside of a Blackpool holiday with a dog is that there are quite restrictive rules in place on the main beaches. A couple of beaches allow dogs on leads, but that's about it unless you're happy to travel further along the coast.
If you fancy giving it a go, Marton Mere is a dog friendly Haven holiday park which is particularly good for families. It's got an indoor swimming pool to provide a welcome activity on a wet day and an outdoor 'splashzone' for sunnier days. There are kids' clubs, a bar and restaurant, playgrounds, adventure golf, sports courts and entertainment in the evening for the adults.
If you want, you can sign up for paid activities like archery or pottery.
It'll take you about 10 - 15 minutes to drive to the seafront at Blackpool from Marton Mere.
Reviews average 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor or 4.1/5 on Google Reviews.
Price: £1026 for a Saver dog friendly caravan for a week in August 2024 for a family of four and one dog.

Like most Haven parks, Marton Mere has lots to do - including minigolf and swimming
9. Nodes Point Holiday Park Isle of Wight (Parkdean Resorts, dog friendly beach, swimming pool)
Nodes Point Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight allows pets and it's a good family-friendly option.
It's near to the beach at St Helen's which allows dogs. It's only a short drive to Bembridge beach which also allows dogs.
Nodes Point is a busy park owned by Parkdean Resorts (it was formerly a Park Resorts caravan site). It offers an indoor swimming pool, bar and restaurant, horse riding along the beach in summer and family activities. Reviews average 4/5.
Price: £1049 for a week in a 'Farringford' chalet at Nodes Point for a family of four, plus a dog in August 2024. That includes £40 for a pet for a week.

10. California Cliffs Norfolk (coastal location, busy park with plenty to do)
**Winner: cheapest dog friendly holiday park in our guide**
Some of the accommodation at Parkdean Resorts California Cliffs is dog friendly, and it gets solid reviews of about 4/5 from most review sites. It's a former Park Resorts holiday park.
It's the kind of place which is popular with families, so expect lots of children and busyness rather than complete silence. There's an indoor swimming pool for rainy days as well as outdoor entertainment including a sports court, outdoor swimming pool, crazy golf and an adventure playground.
Reviews of the different grades of accommodation vary considerably. When I checked there were more than 10 different options on offer with reviews ranging from 6/10 to 9/10.
It's a short drove to the kiss-me-quick hats of Great Yarmouth or there are plenty of quieter beaches along the Norfolk coast, many of which are dog friendly beaches. You can bring a maximum of two pets.
Price comparison: £989 for a week in a Burnham caravan in August 2024 for a family of four including a dog.

Price comparison of 10 of the UK's best dog friendly caravan holiday parks
