Caravan hire Dorset
Rockley Park, Dorset
My two caravans are close together so perfect for families or a group of friends. They are for hire at Rockley Park at Poole in Dorset.
Property Ref: 7820
If you're looking to book at Rockley Park I'm hoping you'll love it just as much as I do. I originally lived in the North East and came to stay here for a week nearly 30 years ago and never went back!
Rockley Park is open from March to December (although some facilities are not available, but the park is
lovely and quiet). I live locally, which is convenient for meeting my guests. I have a vast knowledge of the area and every time I visit Rockley Park (which is often) I still get that sense of excitement and I can honestly say that no two visits are ever the same.
Check in is from 2pm (earlier if the caravan is unoccupied) and Check out is 10am
My caravans (I own two - Shirley and Valentine - one of which is pet friendly and there is a charge of £20 should you wish to bring along your fur baby) are situated very close to each other which is great for larger families or groups of friends that want their own space. They are both situated on flat level ground, close to all local amenities (ideal if you have a pushchair or toddlers as some of the park is quite steep. It is also suitable for guests that just can't walk too far).
They both have a nice, modern, open plan feel and include a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with full size cooker.
The caravans have two bedrooms and are the same. There is parking for one car beside each caravan. Each caravan has a double and a twin bedroom with wardrobe (smaller one in the twin bedroom), along with a pull-out double bed in the lounge area. If 6 guests are occupying either caravan however, the pull-out bed will not be made up but fresh bed linen can be supplied.
Outside you will find a picnic table and chairs where you can relax (possibly with a nice glass of wine or just to keep an eye on the little ones).
Everything you need for a week or two can be provided . I will of course provide you with enough tea and coffee for the first few days; after all, if you've travelled some distance your'e probably ready for a cuppa.
There is a selection of DVDs in each caravan should you fancy a night in, or children’s DVDs should you require 10 minutes peace and quiet.
There are also books and games supplied, which you will find under the bed in the twin room for the children. There is a selection of books for adults, please take one or swap one. In addition, you will find a box of beach toys (i.e. buckets, spades, etc.) underneath each caravan for your little ones to enjoy.
I provide bedding, and the beds will be made up on arrival. If you wish towels can be provided at £6 per stay, so there is very little you need to bring - except yourselves and your clothing.
I can supply a high chair if you need one (please ask).
I can offer 3 and 4 night breaks - please ask for prices (except in July and August) or 7 night breaks. Please note; only 7 night breaks are available during July and August. If you're looking for an out of season break, please contact me.
You will find a welcome pack with lots of information about the park and the local area that has been specially put together to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

About the Area
There is so much to do at Rockley Park and this area of Dorset has so much to offer. Have a look in the folder for inspiration. There is a nature reserve less than 5 mins walk which is ideal for walking the dog or a stroll with kids giving direct access to the beach.On site you will need to purchase your own fun passes, which you can book by calling the park direct - you will need one for each guest and they are currently priced as follows:
Off Peak 2018 prices (2019 not released yet)
Adult: 7 nights £27.75 - 3/4 nights £21.50
Child (under 15): 7 nights £13.5 – 3/4 nights £11
Peak Dates
Adult: 7 nights £41.25 - 3/4 nights £32
Child (under 15): 7 nights £21.75 – 3/4 nights £15.50
Activity bundles are also available to purchase (these are cheaper if booked before you arrive). They allow access to mini golf, the climbing wall, trampolines and other activities within the Sportszone. These are available in 12 passes (£48) or 24 passes (£96). You can always pay as you go when you get to the park if you decide not to buy an activity bundle.
Facilities on Rockley Park include a mini market with bakery and off licence; a launderette (close to caravan and takes tokens available from the shop); an indoor swimming pool with flumes and splash zone; an outdoor swimming pool (an adult must be present with children under 8 years of age).
There are a couple of on-site restaurants and although they do get very busy during peak times, it is worth the wait. Takeaways include Papa John’s pizza and fish and chips (always a favourite).
During peak season the Live Lounge has some great entertainment for all the family; there is something for everyone.
Rockley Park has its own beach, where you can do as much or as little as you want (and it is quite shallow making it safer for children). There are paddle boards to hire or why not try kayaking. There is even a little café selling drinks and snacks (I always take a picnic).
Just along the road from Rockley Park is a little known beach used mainly by the locals and there is also Hamworthy Park within walking distance (parking is almost impossible, its about a 20 minute walk and you have to pass a pub too - great for a drink on the way back!) which has a splash pool for younger children and a play area with direct access to a shallow beach.
A nature reserve is just across the road - great for stretching your legs and it has some fabulous views across the harbour too (also ideal for walking your dog).
During August there is a free firework display every Thursday night on Poole Quay - well worth a visit. Or why not book for the air festival held every year in Bournemouth (usually around the end of August). There is a regular bus service from Rockley Park to Poole as well as a land train during summer months.
A twenty minute drive away is the renowned ‘Millionaires’ Row’ commonly know as Sandbanks. It has a lovely beach there but the car park gets crowded in the Summer. On Poole Quay you can take a boat trip around the harbour or visit Brownsea Island (which is owned by the National Trust - fees payable for non members)..
Peppa Pig world is about a 40 minute drive away; a good day out for younger children. Monkey World and Bovington Tank Museum are 30 minutes drive away.
Take a look through my Welcome Pack when you arrive to see other places you and your family or friends might like to visit. I am sure you will leave Shirley or Valentine with some amazing memories that you will be talking about for many years.
I look forward to meeting you.
