Buying a Lodge in Dorset
Dorset's lodge parks are concentrated along the Jurassic Coast around Weymouth, Swanage and Bridport, with further parks near Christchurch, Wareham and the market town of Blandford Forum. Coastal parks are especially popular with buyers looking for sea views and easy beach access.
Check the site licence, annual site fees and opening season before you commit. Most parks close for part of the winter, and it's worth asking about any coastal erosion issues affecting the specific stretch of coastline.
Visit any shortlisted parks in person, check the exact pitch, and ask to see recent resale prices for similar lodges nearby before making an offer.
