The Best UK Holiday Parks for Dog Owners in 2025

Not All Dog-Friendly Parks Are Equal

Most UK holiday parks accept dogs — but there's a huge difference between "dogs tolerated" and "dogs genuinely welcome". We've analysed reviews, facilities, and policies to find the parks where your dog will have as good a time as you do.

What Makes a Park Truly Dog-Friendly?

• Dedicated dog walking areas — Enclosed fields where dogs can run off-lead safely
• Dog wash stations — Essential after a muddy walk (and saves your caravan's shower)
• No breed restrictions — Many parks ban certain breeds; the best ones welcome all
• Dogs allowed in facilities — Can your dog come to the bar or restaurant?
• Beach access — Year-round dog-friendly beaches nearby, not just seasonal
• Walking routes from the park — Direct access to footpaths and countryside

Our Top Picks

Highland Glen Holiday Park, Scottish Highlands

Our overall top pick for dog owners. Highland Glen has dedicated dog walking woodland, a dog wash, no breed restrictions, and direct access to miles of Highland trails. The restaurant even has a dog menu.

Northumberland Coast Camp

Northumberland Coast Camp offers miles of empty beaches where dogs can run free year-round. The Northumberland coastline is one of the most dog-friendly in England — you can walk for hours without seeing another person.

Conwy Valley Touring Park, Snowdonia

Conwy Valley is surrounded by Snowdonia walking trails and has riverside dog walking areas. The park actively welcomes dogs with treats at reception.

Tips for Holidaying with Dogs

1. Book early — dog-friendly pitches and caravans fill up fast in school holidays
2. Check the small print — some parks charge £30–£50 per dog per stay
3. Bring proof of vaccinations — more parks are asking for this
4. Use PitchPulse filters to find parks with dog wash and dog walking facilities
