We are off to the Durdle Door Holiday Park in Dorset with our newly acquired touring caravan; does anyone know what the access roads are like; i.e is there any we should particularly avoid (narrow lanes etc) being novices in towing a caravan; I have read reviews on the site about some of the pitches being cloping; we have also got a pitch in the Abbeyfield area does anyone know what these are like (flat/sloping); would be grateful for any feedback or helpful hints as only our 2nd time out in the van and previously only been to a flat site!

Thanks

We were down the a couple of weeks ago for the day. The b3070 from wareham to Lulworth and on to durdle door is a pretty good road. It has to be I guess for the tank transports.

Didn't use the pitches at all so didn't take much notice but I don't think they were too bad at all.

If you don't know the area Tynham village is an interesting excursion. Free apart from a £1 car park. Make sure its open as its on the tank ranges. The beach is marvellous but a 15min walk from the village.

Another vote for Tyneham, although I think they now ask for a £2 parking donation. Picnic area (take your own as there are no commercial catering outlets, or any other shops for that matter - unless you count the Honesty Box for postcards in the church!) and toilets. Local Tourist Information Centres (Swanage, Wareham) will be able to advise which days the village and firing ranges are open to the public (usually weekends).
