Swanage's holiday and caravan parks  

Staying at a holiday park means having access to fantastic facilities that go beyond what camping and glamping sites typically offer, which makes them a popular choice for families. 

Swanage Bay View Holiday Park is situated along the aptly named ‘Panorama Road’ and has stunning views over the beautiful Jurassic Coastline. With only a 15-minute walk to the beach, you can enjoy a fun-filled day in the sand before retiring back to your static caravan or seaview lodge and making use of the fantastic facilities.  

Step into Swanage Bay View's indoor swimming pool or try a different feeling of refreshment at The View Bar and Coffee Lounge. There’s also a gym should you wish to fit in a workout while you’re away, as well as a handy laundrette.
