Park Description

The nearest pub is a short half mile walk away in the local village, Langton Matravers, and serves locally sourced produce. Other great pubs and restaurants can be found in the area, including the Square and Compass, which is six miles away.

There are lots of things to do in Dorset on your camping and caravan holidays. Beach lovers are spoilt for choice, no matter whether they are seeking golden sands to kick back and relax for the day or want miles of cliff-top walks, fossil digging, rock pooling or cave exploration. The seas of the south Dorset coast are known for their relative calm and tranquillity, making them perfect for families looking to spend time in the water, whether swimming and/or paddling.

In Swanage, a 10-minute drive from this campsite, there are many cafés, restaurants and shops to visit, while many guests choose to stay in the town until the evening and enjoy dinner in one of the establishments overlooking Swanage Bay.

Less than an hour by car from Acton Field Camping Site is Weymouth, one of the fastest growing seaside resorts on the south coast, near which is the famous Chesil Beach. Or how about a day in Poole? It's a 35-minute drive from this campsite. Or Bournemouth, which is a little further away and will take you about 50 minutes to drive to? Poole Harbour is a lovely place to spend time. While if you visit Bournemouth, you can enjoy the beach, the pier and Oceanarium, the Bournemouth aquarium.

Visit Dorset on your camping holidays and if you like tanks, why not head to The Tank Museum in Bovington Camp, less than half an hour by car from this campsite.
