Overview of Hoburne Park 

Hoburne Park is located in Christchurch, Dorset, close to Avon Beach, Mudeford Quay, Highcliffe and the New Forest. It is perfect for families who want a coastal holiday with swimming, food, entertainment and easy days out along the Dorset coast.

The park first opened in 1912, making it the original Hoburne holiday park. Today, it has a family holiday feel, with indoor and outdoor pools, children’s activities, food and drink, evening entertainment and several beaches and harbour spots nearby.

The beach is a key part of the stay, but the wording needs to be accurate. Hoburne Park is not directly on the beach. Avon Beach is a short walk from the park, with Hoburne’s accessibility information describing the nearest beach as about a 15 minute walk away.

Accommodation includes static caravans and lodges, with selected dog friendly and hot tub options available. This makes the park a great choice for families, couples, grandparents travelling with children and dog owners booking a marked dog friendly stay.

The location is one of the main reasons to book. Guests can visit Avon Beach, Mudeford Quay, Christchurch, Highcliffe Castle, Hengistbury Head, Bournemouth and the New Forest from one base.
