About Rivendell Park

Rivendell Park sits just outside Horton Heath in Dorset, offering a far more varied stay than your typical touring site. Beyond standard grass and woodland pitches, you'll find a range of bell tents and safari tents—several with ensuite facilities—making it easy to glamp without lugging gear. The covered pool, jacuzzi and sauna are genuine highlights, and the car-free layout creates a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere where children can roam safely. Staff are known for being helpful with local tips, and prices remain reasonable given the facilities on offer. Dogs are welcome across most pitches and glamping options. Campfires are allowed, WiFi is included, and all the essentials—showers, toilets, drinking water—are sorted. It's a solid Dorset base that punches above its weight in creature comforts.

What visitors say

Simon Wells

Hired the site for a big birthday party in June. Such a good location for it. Great facilities. Nick and Natalie were very helpful in the run-up, helping arrange catering and deliveries. And they were really helpful over the weekend ensuring all my friends were happy. The new woodland bell tents are excellent. Top place for an event or a weekend of glamping.

Amazing little holiday park/camp site. Very pretty! We were camping there for a few days. The owners are incredibly nice and very helpful. The bar is good, the pool is great.

Great location for touring on the edge of the new forest. The site is set up with everything you could need for camping , clamping or self contained rooms and self catering house or apartment. The site has a outdoor covered pool a hot tub and sauna. There are fire pits a shop a lake and stream. Plus areas for the kids to play. Everything was clean and well looked after and the site hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come here again.

I want to be only one who knows this place. Location perfect, staff are all kind. Only missing is play ground for kids. But there is good option, indoor swimming pool.
