Woodland holiday park at Holton Heath with touring pitches and a beach a short drive away
About Sandford Holiday Park
Sandford Holiday Park sits in woodland at Holton Heath, on the edge of Poole, with Holton Heath railway station about half a mile from the entrance and regular bus links into Poole town centre. Alongside its caravan holiday homes and lodges, the park keeps a dedicated area of touring and camping pitches, making it one of the more straightforward options for visitors bringing their own tent, caravan or motorhome to a site close to Poole itself rather than out in the surrounding countryside.
Facilities are built for a full family holiday rather than just an overnight stop, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools open across the spring and summer months, a glamping village, an on-site convenience shop and a range of dining and entertainment options shared with the wider park, including evening shows and activity clubs for children in the school holidays. Dogs are welcome, with discounted rates for dog owners on selected midweek breaks, and touring pitches typically include electric hook-up alongside hardstanding or grass options.
The woodland setting keeps the park feeling more sheltered and green than its position on the edge of Poole might suggest, while the Blue Flag beaches of the harbour and Sandbanks are only a short drive away. It suits families who want the reassurance of a big park's facilities and entertainment programme without giving up the flexibility of touring or camping, and its position close to Holton Heath station also makes it workable for those wanting to leave the car behind for day trips into Poole and beyond.
