Named as one of the 'outstanding sites for 2025' by Campingsites.co.uk, Freshwater Holiday Park is great for beach and sea views.
The site has grass pitches for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
Each pitch comes with a 16amp electric hook up as well.
Families can enjoy three indoor and outdoor pools including water slides, an entertainment centre, a games room and a bowling alley.
Adults hoping to get some quiet time can head to the gym, sauna, steam room, hot tub or even the golf course next door.
If looking for something to eat, visitors can either head to the Spar shop on site or the restaurant and sports bar.
In the 'Rolling Stones bar and restaurant' visitors can also enjoy live sport, daytime entertainment and evening shows.
Over the summer months there are a number of events at the park too, including pool parties and bouncy castles.
Four-legged furry friends are also allowed at the campsite, and they have their own enclosed exercise area as well.
Perhaps the best feature - guests get access to a private beach too.
Ibiza camping 'paradise' near San Antonio
The beach is long and sandy and also sits on the South West Coast Path - making it a great walk to experience the Dorset coastline.
Slightly further along the coast, you'd reach Hive Beach - another picturesque spot with a couple of restaurants too.
Along the coast in the other direction, you'll reach the West Bay cliffs.
These dramatic golden sandstone cliffs offer panoramic views of the area and are well-known for featuring in the TV series Broadchurch.
For keen fossil hunters, this is also a great spot.
The campsite is super affordable as well, with pitches costing from £36 per night.
For those wanting to explore the surrounding area, the campsite is 20minutes from Lyme Regis and Charmouth.

A guide to Zurich: how to explore like a champ in the home of the Women's Euros
For those who want to live like the Lionesses, though, the Dolder Grand is the place to be – in fact, it's serving as the base for the England team during their time in the Euros. Situated just 10 minutes from the city centre, the hotel is easy to spot: it looks like a Disney castle. Inside, it's just as luxe: it's been home to rockstars (including the Rolling Stones) and royals during the years. Plus, it has one of the largest spas in Switzerland.
