This caravan-only site benefits from a peaceful, rural setting with fantastic views in a special spot on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.
Set within the private, rural estate of Smedmore in Kimmeridge, you’ll have your own tranquil base for exploring nearby Purbeck gems such as Corfe Castle, Lulworth and Swanage.
Kimmeridge Bay itself is world-renowned for its Jurassic Coast geology and makes for a fun day exploring its rock pools – from the caravan site you can walk to the bay, or up to the stunning Clavell Tower, along the coast path and down to the village, which has an excellent restaurant, Clavell’s.
The well-kept, inviting site has 40 large pitches, electric hook-ups and WiFi, and is a Caravan Club and Motorhome Club affiliated site.
Note that there are no toilet or shower facilities at this site, but it has two watering points and a chemical disposal point.
