Eype House Caravan & Camping Park, England

The south coast of England boasts many attractions and the spectacular Jurassic Coast in Dorset is chief among them.

Set just down the coast from the town of Weymouth, Eype is a small village that has a great beach. Eype House Caravan & Camping Park is one of the few places to stay in the area, sitting right on the cliff looking down over the water. It’s a great spot for a relaxing few days in the summer, barbecuing on the beach and listening to the sound of the waves.

You can either bring your own tent and equipment or hire one of the static caravans. We stayed in a four-person caravan that was clean and spacious enough, and came with a good amount of extra bedding to deal with the cold nights. Even in summer the mercury plummets after dark, and you’ll be glad of the big blankets.

Eype itself is a nice little place with a good pub where you can eat and drink if you don’t want to cook yourself. There is also a small café in the caravan park, popular with visitors.

Three nights in the caravan cost $130, a real bargain if you fill all four beds.
