How to find cheap staycations in Dorset & New Forest – with free activities, low deposits & nearby theme parks

STILL looking for a UK holiday that won’t break the bank this year?

Shorefield Holidays launched up to 30 per cent off all caravan and camping holidays in 2024 – with deals from £10pp a night.

You can easily find a cheap staycation in the UK for as little as £6pp a night

Tucked away along the southern coast, Shorefield has eight-holiday parks to suit different tastes.

From the calm New Forest to the coastline of Dorset, the holidays promise to offer travellers ‘the ideal balance of action and leisure’.

The family-run company has been operating for over six decades, and the parks have won various awards.

Modern caravans, tree homes, camping and luxury lodges with hot tubs are among the available accommodation options.

But it doesn’t end there, as you can also book your staycation with deposits from £50.

The sale will end on January 31, so you’ll have until the end of the month to secure your holiday.

Here are some of the best deals we’ve spotted in the sale:

To make it even better, those staying at Oakedene Forest Park will receive two free ‘Go Active’ sessions.

Up to six people can use the ‘Go Active’ sessions on most of the activities in the park.

The activities at the parks include everything from indoor and outdoor pools, spas, gym access and entertainment during the day and night.

Many parks also have children’s play areas exclusively for little ones.

Although the parks are filled with things to do, the surrounding areas are also worth exploring.

For those who love the outdoors, the New Forest National Park offers the perfect background for hiking, spotting animals or even just relaxing.

Elsewhere, Lymington and Milford-on-Sea are picturesque seaside villages that provide boutique shopping, strolls along the shore and restaurants serving local food.

Some theme parks are nearby for a fun day out with the kids.

Paultons Park is home to Peppa Pig World, while Adventure Wonderland has more than 30 rides and attractions and is best suited for kids between 3 and 10 years old.

For more staycation deals, the price of Park Holidays’ caravan breaks for summer 2024 has been slashed to under £150.

Meanwhile, Haven’s new sale has cheap caravan staycations from £3pp a night in 2024.

And, we’ve also found a quirky ski chalet next to a top UK theme park, and it even has its own pub.
