Oakdene Forest Park

Oakdene Forest Park is a family-oriented holiday park set within 55 acres of landscaped grounds on the edge of the Hurn and Avon Forest in St Leonards, Dorset.

The park borders unspoilt river meadows and ancient woodland, providing a peaceful natural setting alongside direct access to pet-friendly woodland trails suited to leisurely walks or more energetic outings.

Its location makes it a practical base for exploring the wider region, with the rolling Dorset countryside, the New Forest, and the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and Poole all within easy reach. Accommodation is offered in self-contained caravans and lodges.

The park has received recognition through David Bellamy conservation awards and Diamond Awards from the holiday park industry.
