Holiday parks in Dorset: common questions
How many holiday parks are there in Dorset?
This directory lists 17 named parks in Dorset across 6 towns, each verified to a published source. It is not a complete census of every licensed site in the county, and we add parks as we verify them.
Who operates holiday parks in Dorset?

How do you finance buying a holiday park in Dorset?
A park in Dorset is financed like any UK holiday park: as a trading business, on its EBITDA, pitch-fee income, holiday-home sales margin, site licence and tenure rather than on residential loan to value. We arrange acquisition mortgages, bridging for fast or underperforming purchases, development finance for new pitches and lodges, and refinance once the park is trading well.
