Campsites In Dorset

One of our favourite area's to camp in the UK is the county of Dorset, particularly near to the coastal town of Swanage. The website http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/ provides a directory of UK campsites and lists over 150 sites for the county of Dorset alone, including several that we personally have visited.
Dorset has a stunning coastline and is known as the Jurassic Coast which stretches for nearly one hundred miles from Swanage to Exmouth in Devon. The area is a goldmine for fossil hunters, with dinosaurs and dinosaur footprints continually being discovered.

As well as its incredible history, the coast is also renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. The natural arch at Durdle Door is an iconic and instantly recognisable feature of the coastline, as is the nearby Lulworth Cove, a perfectly curved natural cove just a short walk from Durdle Door, and a fantastic place for an afternoon picnic on a summers day.
