5 best caravan holiday parks near Peppa Pig World and Paultons Park 2019

Where would my children be without Peppa Pig to keep them entertained? They'd probably be reading a book or playing in the garden, but let's not worry about that.

Peppa Pig World is a great day out or two for younger children. It's on the same site as Paultons Park, so you buy a ticket for one and then you can wander as you please.

We visited after a fairly long drive, which was not a good idea. By the end of it, there were tears and tantrums - and the kids were grumpy too (arf arf). 

A more sensible option is to stay at a nearby caravan holiday park or a lodge resort. There are plenty to choice from in the area, and many of them have lots of activities onsite and good reviews. We've picked out five of the best family-friendly caravan holiday parks near Peppa Pig World and Paultons Park:

1. Sandy Balls Holiday Village - 20 minutes to Peppa Pig World and Paultons Park

Sure, it's got a hilarious name but Sandy Balls is actually a popular holiday park as well. It's run by a company called Away Resorts  which owns half a dozen caravan parks across the UK.

It's a family-friendly, busy park, so you won't feel self conscious if your child decides to wake at 5am and noisily demands to leave for Peppa Pig World immediately.

Sandy Balls is just skirting around the edge of the New Forest, which is the sort of place where ponies roam free and occasionally wander in front of your car. 

The park has quite a lot of family fun onsite, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, archery, soft play, a playground, outdoor cinema, bike hire and, er, axe throwing.

As well as being near to Peppa Pig World, it's also only half an hour from the beach at Bournemouth, so that caters for at least a couple of days of your holiday, right?

Reviews average about 8/10.

Price: £1389 for seven days in a "comfort caravan" for a family of four people in August 2019.

2. Hoburne Bashley Holiday Park - 30 minutes to Peppa Pig World

Hoburne Bashley Holiday Park scores a very respectable 8.5/10 from most reviewers and it has a good selection of stuff to do onsite (before you get around to heading off to Peppa Pig World). 

There's the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness area, kids' clubs, soft play, somewhere to eat and a 9 hole golf course.

It's also just about within the New Forest, meaning you get a rural location and only a short drive to the coast. Alternatively, you can drive 15 minutes to Lymington if you fancy a day out to the Isle of Wight.

Price: £1035 for a week in August 2019 for four people. 

3. Hoburne Naish Holiday Park ​ - 30 minutes to Peppa Pig World

Hoburne Naish is the sister park to Hoburne Bashley (above). The parks get pretty similar reviews overall and are both family-friendly caravan sites for planning a holiday around a day or six at Peppa Pig World.

The advantage of Hoburne Naish is that it is nearer to the sea, with distant sea views from the cliff tops.

The park's got indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an entertainment complex with Sky TV etc, crazy golf, tennis, soft play, basketball and kids' clubs.

It has posh lodges with hot tubs, as well as cheaper caravans and bungalows.

Price: £804 for a family of four for a week in August 2019.

4. Oakdene Forest Park - 25 minutes to Peppa Pig World

**Winner: best value holiday park**

Shorefield discount code: 5% off with code M218 until 14/12/19
Shorefield has got a couple of holiday parks but Oakdene Forest Park in Dorset is a good one for visiting Peppa Pig World. 

Reviews are about 8.5/10 and you can waste a day or two at the park itself thanks to the selection of sports and activities. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools are the kind with family-friendly stuff to do whilst there's an outdoor play area, crazy golf and fencing. There's also evening and children's entertainment, if that's your sort of thing.

Some of the more quirky activities include crossbow and a virtual reality room (well, it's quirky to me, younger readers probably consider it quite day-to-day). Some activities cost extra so you might want to budget for that.

Price: £709 for a family of four staying in a 'Statement' caravan for a week in August 2019

5. Hayling Island Holiday Park - 45 minutes to Peppa Pig World

Parkdean Resorts is a big name in the caravan holiday park market and Hayling Island Holiday Park is their closest resort for those wanting a trip to Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park.

It's not quite as close as some on this list and reviews aren't quite as good (7.5/10) but there's still a lot going for it.

The location is quirky for a start, and there's a good range of things to do with the children.  Onsite, there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, soft play, a restaurant, a playground as well as staff dressed up as animals with alliterative names.

Price: £879 for a week's holiday in an Eastoke caravan for a family of four in August 2019 (it's actually a six berth but was the cheapest available when we searched)
