Best for: Staying in West Bay itself with the harbour and beaches a short walk from the park.
Accommodation Types: Caravans, lodges, touring pitches and glamping safari tents.
Highlights: Indoor pool, bar and restaurant, harbour side setting, walkable access to beach.
West Bay Holiday Park sits directly behind the harbour, with the access road leading straight down towards the slipway and waterfront. The site is compact, with touring, glamping and static areas grouped around the central complex where the indoor pool, bar, restaurant and takeaway are all in one place.
From the entrance it takes around 3 minutes to reach the harbour where fishing boats still land catches, and about 5 minutes to East Beach for sand or West Beach backed by the cliffs. Bridport is just over 1 mile inland, reached in under 5 minutes by car, and the coast path runs from the harbour up onto West Cliff, known as a filming location for Broadchurch.
Why it’s a top pick: You are staying in the middle of West Bay, with the harbour, beaches and cliff walks all starting from the park entrance.

Best for: Quiet caravan stays overlooking Chesil Beach away from busy resort parks.
Accommodation Types: Static caravans and a small number of apartments.
Highlights: Valley setting, sea views towards Chesil Beach, on site shop and laundry, direct walking routes.
Gorselands Caravan Park sits in a shallow coastal valley at West Bexington, with caravans positioned across six acres of grassland facing out towards Chesil Beach and Lyme Bay. Most units are privately owned, which shapes the feel of the site, with fewer facilities and less movement than larger commercial parks, alongside a small shop and launderette on site.
A footpath known as Fisherman’s Walk runs from the park down to the beach through open meadows, avoiding the need to drive to the main car park. West Bay is about 10 minutes by car for the harbour and eateries, while Abbotsbury is around 10 to 15 minutes for the Swannery and coastal paths.
Why it’s a top pick: A small park in a coastal valley with direct footpath access to Chesil Beach, where the setting and views are the main draw rather than on site entertainment.
