5 of the best Weymouth caravan holiday parks - 2019
Weymouth is a busy seaside resort with a lovely sandy beach and lots of family attractions in the local area, such as Nothe Fort and Weymouth Sealife Centre. It's also a good spot for exploring Dorset's Jurassic Coast.
We've picked five Weymouth caravan holiday parks which we think are worth a look. For our price comparison we looked at a holiday for a family of four (two adults, two children) in August 2018.

1. Chesil Family Holiday Park (indoor swimming pool, busy park)
**Winner: best value Weymouth holiday park**
|
Chesil Family Holiday Park is at the top of our guide to the best Weymouth holiday parks, thanks to its excellent reviews and decent facilities.
The park has an indoor swimming pool, which is exceedingly useful if it rains all week. There are also kids' and adults' entertainment, places to eat, an indoor soft play area, an outdoor playground, football, pool and basketball. Reviews on TripAdvisor were 4.5/5 when I checked, or 9.2/10 on Hoseasons (the park is also known as Chesil Vista Holiday Park if you're looking for reviews). It's a 10 minute drive to the Esplanade at Weymouth. Price: £759 for a Chesil View apartment for a week in August 2019 (2 adults and 2 children) |
|
2. Warmwell Holiday Park (loads of facilities, indoor swimming, skiing. Short drive to Weymouth)
|
Warmwell Holiday Park is a little way out of Weymouth, but you can be on the beach in 20 minutes.
It's run by Parkdean Holidays, which is one of the biggest caravan park chains in the UK. Reviews average a solid 4/5 and it's a big park with plenty to do onsite. In fact, it's one of the best equipped holiday parks in the Westcountry, although you have to pay extra for some things. There's an indoor swimming pool as you'd expect, but there's also a ski slope (which you can't say about many caravan parks). There are fishing lakes, a gym, sports court, a playground for older children and soft play for younger ones, mini ten pin bowling, archery and pool tables. Like most of these larger parks, there is somewhere to eat, along with kids' and adults' entertainments. Warmwell is also dog friendly, so you won't have to pay kennel fees. Most of the accommodation is lodges rather than caravans. Price: £939 for a family of four staying for a week in August 2019 (four person lodge which is one bedroom with two people sleeping in the lounge) |
|
3. Haven's Seaview Holiday Park (walk to the beach, two indoor and outdoor swimming pools)
|
Haven is one of the biggest holiday park chains in the UK and they've got three holiday parks in Weymouth.
Seaview Holiday Park is a good choice because it also gives access to the facilities at Haven's nearby Weymouth Bay Caravan Holiday Park. Between the two parks, you've got access to two indoor swimming pools and two outdoor swimming pools. There's also a crazy golf course, archery, various sports, places to eat and entertainment. All of Haven's Weymouth holiday parks get similar reviews of about 4 out of 5, but I like this one because you can walk to the beach in 15 minutes (maybe a little longer if you're carrying three children). There are a couple of ways to save yourself some money on a Haven caravan holiday park. The first is to arrive on a weekday and stay for 7 days. When we searched, it was £140 cheaper to arrive on a Friday than a Saturday. Another money saving tip is to fill up a larger caravan, rather than booking two smaller ones. In our search, we found that booking two caravans for four people would cost £2068, compared to £1258 for an eight berth caravan. Price: £1034 for a four person standard caravan for a week in August 2019 |
|
4. Waterside Holiday Park and Spa (posher option, beachside, pool and spa, great facilities)
|
Waterside Holiday Park is on the east side of Weymouth. It's a couple of minutes walk to a beach, or a 10 minute drive to the famous Esplanade at Weymouth.
It's a really well equipped caravan park with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym, children's playground and soft play area, a sports pitch, volleyball court, a spa, a restaurant and a bar. There's also entertainment for children and grown ups. It was the most expensive Weymouth holiday park in our price comparison, but it's a bit posher than most and it does get very good reviews, averaging 8.6/10 on Hoseasons or 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. Price: £1223 for a week's holiday in a Classic caravan in August 2019 (6 berth caravan). |
|
5. Littlesea Caravan Holiday Park (Haven park, indoor swimming pool)
|
Littlesea Holiday Park is another Haven holiday park in Weymouth, although this one is on the west side of the town. When we searched, it was averaging 4/5 from reviewers.
It's got all the facilities you'd expect from a Haven caravan site, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, loads of sports (football, tennis, archery, fencing) as well as mini golf, places to eat (including some takeaway options) and lots of activities to keep children entertained. It's a half hour walk to the Esplanade at Weymouth. As a general rule, you'll find Haven are a little bit more expensive than most chain holiday parks, but they tend to get slightly better reviews than their rivals. Price: £1047 for a week's holiday in a standard caravan in August 2019 (4 berth caravan) |
