Caravan Transport in Dorset
Looking for caravan transport in Dorset? Dorset's Jurassic Coast and Poole Harbour area host some of the South Coast's most popular caravan parks. The county sits in a sweet spot — accessible enough from London and the South East for weekend visits, yet far enough to feel like a proper getaway.
Caravan Parks in Dorset
Dorset's parks gather around Poole Harbour and along the Jurassic Coast towards Weymouth and Bridport — close enough to London for weekends, far enough to feel away. The Bournemouth and Poole conurbation has wide urban roads; the coast west of it grows steadily more rural.
Popular Dorset parks include Rockley Park Holiday Park, Haven Seaview Holiday Park (Weymouth), Durdle Door Holiday Park, Freshwater Beach Holiday Park, and Littlesea Holiday Park — all served by our caravan transport network of verified, specialist movers.

Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Dorset
A single force, Dorset Police, handles notification here. The A31 from the M27 is the main eastern way in, with the A350/A354 dropping from the M4 corridor and the A35/A352 serving the Jurassic Coast. Bournemouth and Poole are easy for wide loads; the further west along the coast a park sits, the narrower and slower the final approach.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Dorset Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
