5 of the best Weymouth caravan holiday parks - 2021
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 2021.

1. Haven's Seaview Holiday Park (walk to the beach, two indoor and outdoor swimming pools)
**Winner: best value Weymouth holiday park**
|
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. In our price comparisons it has sometimes been about £100 cheaper to arrive on a Friday rather than a Saturday. Another money saving tip is to fill up a larger caravan, rather than booking two smaller ones. In the past, we've found that you could save up to £600 by booking a caravan for eight people rather than two caravans for four people. Price: £864 for a deluxe caravan for a family of four for a week in August 2021. When we checked, a deluxe caravan was cheaper than a standard caravan but that's not often the case. |
If the sun shines then you can use the outdoor pool at Haven's Seaview Holiday Park...
...which has a big choice of different grades of caravan

2. 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 but it's right by the coastal path which leads to Chesil Beach. Price: £1002 for a week's holiday in a standard caravan in August 2021 (six berth caravan with two bedrooms) |
Littlesea Holiday Park is near the South West Coastal Path...
...and it's got indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as sports
|
3. Chesil Family Holiday Park (indoor swimming pool, busy park)
|
Chesil Family Holiday Park is at the top of our guide to the best Weymouth holiday parks, thanks to its excellent reviews, decent facilities and coastal views.
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 nearly 9/10 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 or a 10 minute walk to Chesil Beach. Price: £1099 for a Chesil View apartment for a week in August 2021 (2 adults and 2 children) |
Chesil Family Holiday Park has family friendly activities...
...and has good value caravans, as well as swimming and soft play
|
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. One of the highlights is that you can try out watersports such as standup-paddleboarding (some activities cost extra). 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 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. Price: £1659 for a week's holiday in a Classic caravan in August 2021 (6 berth caravan). |
Aptly-named Waterside Holiday Park is a good place to try out watersports...
...or just try out the indoor facilities
|
5. 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. You can either book via Parkdean Resorts or you can hire privately owned accommodation onsite via Airbnb. Price: £1099 for a family of four staying for a week in August 2021 (four person lodge which is one bedroom with two people sleeping in the lounge) |
Warmwell has a bigger range of activities than your average holiday park...
...including skiing, ten pin bowling and soft play.
