6 dog-friendly caravan parks for a properly “woof-tastic” break

In partnership with Breakfree Holidays × InsureMy.co.uk

A caravan break is already one of the easiest ways to holiday in the UK — and it gets even better when the dog can come too. Breakfree Holidays has some genuinely brilliant, pet-welcoming parks in standout locations across Cornwall, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, Pembrokeshire and the Lake District.

And while you’re planning beach walks, muddy paws and scenic pub stops, it’s worth thinking about the other side of a relaxing getaway: peace of mind. That’s where InsureMy can help — by making it simpler to sort the right cover for your caravan or holiday home set-up, so you can focus on the fun.

Below are six dog-friendly parks to put on your shortlist.

‍

1) Park Holidays UK Bodmin, Cornwall

If your dog’s idea of heaven is woodland scents and wide-open space, Bodmin Holiday Park is a strong contender. It’s set in over 96 acres of woodland and parkland, with fishing lakes on-site and easy access to Cornish days out (including beaches within driving distance).

Why it works for dog owners

• Big, outdoorsy setting (great for morning/late walks before the crowds).
• Handy on-park facilities, including a dog-friendly restaurant/bar area.

InsureMy tip: If you’re travelling with the dog, bring a couple of old towels/throws to protect upholstery — and keep any valuables out of sight when you’re out exploring.

2) Haven Littlesea, Weymouth (Dorset)

For a classic seaside break with loads nearby, Littlesea is well-placed for Weymouth and exploring the Jurassic Coast. Breakfree Holidays specifically highlights it as family- and pet-friendly, with lagoon views and heated pools.

Why it works for dog owners

• Coastal walks on tap (perfect for tiring out energetic pups).
• A strong “everything in one place” holiday-park vibe — useful if you’re juggling family + dog routines.

InsureMy tip: Double-check park rules on dogs in venues and peak-time restrictions, and plan a wet-weather option (some dog-friendly cafés, covered attractions, etc.).

3) Parkdean Resorts Nodes Point, Isle of Wight

Nodes Point is all about that island getaway feel — close to the beach with a relaxed pace, plus on-park facilities for easy days. Parkdean describes it as near Priory Bay Beach, with an indoor pool, activities, and clearly marks it as dog-friendly.

Why it works for dog owners

• Easy coastal walking potential and beachy scenery.
• Good if you want a mix of “do stuff” and “do nothing” without overthinking logistics.

InsureMy tip: Keep a note of local emergency vets and store it offline on your phone — islands can mean longer drives if you’re not prepared.

4) Parkdean Resorts Fallbarrow, Lake District

If you’re after big scenery and “walks that end with a pub,” Fallbarrow is hard to beat. It’s set in the Lake District National Park and Parkdean notes direct access to the water’s edge with nearby spots like Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere.

Why it works for dog owners

• The Lake District is basically a year-round dog-walking playground.
• Great base for lakeside strolls and countryside exploring.

InsureMy tip: If you’re bringing bikes, paddleboards or pricier kit, think about how they’re stored and whether your cover extends to personal belongings away from home.

5) Haven Penally Court, near Tenby (Pembrokeshire)

Penally Court is positioned as a more relaxed Haven option near Tenby, and Haven notes dogs are welcome with dog-friendly walks and beach access from the park.

Why it works for dog owners

• Pembrokeshire delivers on beaches and fresh-air walks.
• A calmer base if you want to spend most days out exploring, then come back to recharge.

InsureMy tip: Sandy paws and salty air are a combo — rinse collars/leads and wipe down metal clips to reduce corrosion (and keep the caravan cleaner too).

‍

‍

6) Parkdean Resorts White Cross Bay, Windermere (Lake District)

For a lakeside “switch off” break, White Cross Bay sits close to Lake Windermere and is set up as a strong base for the central Lakes. Parkdean lists practical facilities like a convenience store, launderette, and Wi-Fi in venue.

Why it works for dog owners

• Brilliant location for scenic walks (and post-walk cafés).
• Handy on-site essentials for longer stays.

InsureMy tip: If you’re staying during colder months, make sure you know how your unit is heated and ventilated — damp control matters for comfort and protecting interiors.

Quick note: why static caravan insurance matters (especially with pets)

If you own a static caravan/holiday home, standard home insurance often won’t fit. Static caravan insurance is typically designed around the risks that come with being on a park — think weather exposure, seasonal occupancy, and the fact it’s not your primary residence.

Cover varies by insurer, but it commonly includes elements such as:

• The structure (the caravan itself) and sometimes contents
• Theft/vandalism considerations
• Storm/flood-related damage (often with conditions/excesses)
• Public liability (important on busy parks)

Dog-owner reality check: some policies may treat pet-related damage differently (or exclude it), so it’s worth checking the wording if your dog is the enthusiastic, sofa-loving type.

Booking + peace of mind

Breakfree Holidays makes it easy to browse and book these parks for dog-friendly getaways — and if you want to line that up with the right insurance for your caravan or holiday home, InsureMy is here to help you get the cover sorted so your break stays… well, a break.
