Back of Beyond Touring Park

Dorset

This adults-only site is a haven for guests and wildlife alike. Leave your daily stress behind with walks in its 18 acres of woods or around the two fishing lakes.

Last year, owners Martin and Victoria Bowrey were clearing streams, improving showerblocks, building 19 hardstandings, and creating an external pop-up bar and a communal barbecue and seating area. New measures have been employed to create a safe environment for guests.

Ballyness Caravan Park

Northern Ireland

Visits to two top attractions, the Giant’s Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, are well served with a base at this award-winning park at Bushmills, where the Causeway Rambler bus stops to pick up passengers.

The site’s 20th anniversary last year witnessed the owners’ dream of a now well-established countryside ambience of pond, wildlife area, cottage-style washblock and immaculately laid out grounds surrounded by fields, with 21st-century amenities and values. The site has its own solar panel field.

Improvements for 2021 include Wi-Fi upgrading, and planting more trees.
