About Us
Dolphins River Park is one of
Charmouth's oldest caravan parks having had caravans on its site for well
over 40 years.
The park nestles peacefully on the banks of the River Char in the unspoilt
Dorset countryside. Rich with wildlife including kingfishers, deer, herons,
egrets
and even otters have been spotted.
Only one mile inland from the famous "fossil" beach of Charmouth and just
three miles from Lyme Regis - the "pearl" of Dorset. The coastline having
been awarded World Heritage Status. This area makes an excellent base from
which to discover the many obvious and hidden delights of West Dorset and
East Devon. Also very close to the ITV's fictional Broadchurch town at West
Bay.
.
 Charmouth
is mainly known for its beach and the incredible prehistoric fossils that
are found there. It’s a family-friendly beach that slopes
very gently to the water and contains many rockpools to explore. Some of the film "Ammonite"
starring Kate Winslet as Mary Anning was filmed on Charmouth beach as well
as in neighbouring Lyme Regis.
The Jurassic coastline extends for around 90 miles with stunning beaches,
towering cliffs and hidden coves. Regular buses run from Weymouth (X53) and
Dorchester (X51) to Axminster station via Lyme Regis and through Charmouth.
There is a Park-And-Ride from Lyme Regis into Lyme Regis itself. Also the
X52 open top bus runs from Bridport bus station to and from Weymouth (Kings
Statue) during the summer months.

Dolphins is a popular caravan park because it
offers tranquillity having no bar or restaurant, just an office and a
laundry room.
So the only entertainment is watching your washing go round in the washing
machine :-)
There are walks which can be had and the river Char can be crossed, with
care, at the northern end of the park.
.
Dolphins has 36 pitches made up with 34 static caravans, one lodge and one
park home.
The park has a licence for holiday use only. The season runs from March to
the end of October.
The park is dog friendly but obviously dogs have to be kept on lead when out
walking and be well behaved.
