About Ulwell Holiday Park

The heated indoor pool is a hit with kids whatever the weather, while the on-site pub and restaurant serve up genuinely good food at fair prices – a combination that's harder to find than you'd think.

What visitors say
We had a fabulous 5 day stay in the static van called ‘Bay view’. Very well equipped, nice view, as you would expect with a name like that. The only criticism, is that sofa & chairs are very uncomfortable with bottoming out cushions, we actually rented that van last year, so took some cushions with us. I would definitely recommend that. The wifi is pretty poor too, but that is small fry to the positives. Beautifully keep site, great staff and a whole lot of new improvements, like new reception, Spar shop, coffee shop & refurbished Village inn pub, where I can recommend the food & again super friendly staff! Great pub to visit locally are The Bankes Arms & The Black Swan, both fabulous food. Best beach in the country, by far is Knoll beach, fabulous safe sandy beach m, looked after by the National Trust. Plenty of parking & good facilities. And don’t forget Corfe castle & steam railway, just incase it’s not beach weather! Can’t recommend this enough for a UK based break.

What a perfect campsite. Not too big; amazing facilities. Clean and modern showers/toilets. Great restaurant and bar, with lovely outside garden and TV for the footie. The updated bakery was a welcome treat with lovely coffee and delicious pastries. There is a dog walking enclosure and varied play area for children. Swanage is a beautiful seaside town and it is walkable from the site and there is a bus stop just outside. We did a mega walk from the site to Corfe and back along the coastal path. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Been coming to Ulwell for touring the last 30.years. Always a go to place for a close getaway as we only live 30 miles away. The place is pretty much stayed the same since then but obviously much more modernized now. The location to Swanage is perfect and there's always loads to do locally. The place is always immaculately clean and well cared for and the staff are always polite and friendly. The pitch sizes are generous and the electricity works perfect. The only criticism is that the pitch fees are very high in comparison to other sites we go to. However Ulwell is always very popular and busy. It's certainly worth coming back to

We stayed in our tent and had a wonderful experience. The facilities were excellent and very clean throughout, including the showers and toilets. The indoor swimming pool was also very nice and well maintained. It was a pleasure to stay here, and we will definitely come back again. The location is great too — only a 3-minute drive to Swanage Beach and the local shops. Highly recommended!
