The beautiful county of Dorset is in the south of England and borders four counties: Hampshire, Wiltshire, Devon, and Somerset. When you book a campervan for hire in Dorset, you are in for a real treat, as it is one of the counties in the country without any motorways.

Part of its charm is its dramatic and breathtaking coastline, which stretches 140 km and has been classified as an official UNESCO World Heritage Site. This coastline encompasses part of the 95-mile stretch shared between Devon and Dorset and is known as the Jurassic Coast thanks to the amazing fossils and rocks from the Jurassic period there. If that wasn’t enough, it’s worth noting that the area is also famed for its Triassic and Cretaceous fossils.

When you want to rent a campervan in Dorset and save money, you should look at our price comparison tool here at CamperDays. We offer great benefits for booking through us and work with local rental companies.

Helpful tips for your trip to Dorset

When you book a campervan in Dorset, the best time to visit the county is during the summer, as this part of the country experiences more sunshine than others. The temperatures during July, for instance, regularly reach as high as 22 degrees.

  • Outdoor activities
    Outdoor activities

    While summer remains the best time for the best weather conditions to visit Dorset, you need to consider that the county will be more crowded, especially on famous beaches and at the most popular sites and attractions. Therefore, it may be best to go in late spring or early autumn when it’s quieter, but you still benefit from reasonable weather.

  • Sightseeing
    Sightseeing

    Sightseeing in Dorset is a rewarding experience whenever you go. Still, if you are concerned about it being warm enough, especially along the coast, then you are best visiting during summer.

  • Hiking
    Hiking

    Autumn or spring is the best time to go hiking or take one or more of Dorset's many coastal walk routes. The weather is moderate, and the areas are generally less crowded.

Best campervan routes around Dorset

One of the best things to do when you hire a campervan in Dorset is to explore one of the many great driving routes around this beautiful county and beyond. We have included a few of the best and most popular below.

Dorset Jurassic Coast Road Drive
One of the most iconic driving routes to try when you rent a motorhome in Dorset is the Jurassic Coast Road Drive. One of the UK's most striking and dramatic routes, the B3157 covers 18 miles of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Starting in Poole and finishing in Exeter, it takes you through Weymouth, Flett, Portesham, Abbotsbury and onto higher locations like Chesil Bank, St Catherine’s Chapel and Portland before dropping down as you drive through West Bexington, Burton Bradstock, West Bay, Bridport to Charmouth, Golden Cap and Lyne Regis. If you want to tackle it all, the road continues to South Devon. However much you do of it, you will be richly rewarded by the fantastic coastal views.

Lyme Regis to St Austell
When you book a motorhome for hire in Dorset, you should explore beyond the borders of this beautiful southern English county. The road from Lyme Regis to St. Austell is an excellent choice as it covers around 181 miles and takes you past red sandstone cliffs, covered sandy coves, pastoral farmland and river mouths dotted with little settlements and eye-catching houses, from Lyme Regis to Exeter and Exeter to Dartmouth before you drive through the South Hams to Plymouth and then towards St Austell.

Swanage to Corfe
For a quicker option when you rent a motorhome for hire in Dorset, why not follow the route from Swanage to Corfe? It is shorter and more straightforward than the others highlighted above but still extremely rewarding. Within a few miles, you can take in the delights of the Purbeck Hills and Corfe Castle.

Places of interest and excursions in Dorset

Durdle Door
Part of the iconic Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site, the spot known as Durdle Door, was created some 10,000 years ago when the harsh sea pierced into the limestone on the coast. It was the first natural World Heritage Site to be given the classification in England in 2001. Durdle Door is more than 200 feet above sea level at its highest point.

Lulworth Cove
Lulworth Cove is part of the Jurassic Coast and is one of the most famous beaches in the world. It is renowned for its clear blue waters. You can explore unique landforms and geology at Stair Hole and Lulworth Crumple. The Lulworth Cove visitor centre offers insight into the importance and beauty of geology.

Old Harry Rocks
Chalk formations are popular with cyclists and walkers, and Old Harry Rocks is part of the stunning South West Coast Path. While the area is known as Old Harry Rocks, there is just one stack of rocky chalk called Old Harry. It’s the one that stands furthest out in the sea.

FAQ
  • When you are looking to book a motorhome for rental in Dorset, you need a full, valid driving license, ideally given to you within the UK. You must obtain an International Driving Permit or suitable alternative documentation if your license is valid elsewhere.

  • Dorset Council warns campervan and motorhome enthusiasts every year that when you book a camper van for hire in Dorset you are not allowed to stop overnight and sleep in your vehicle.

  • The short answer is that Dorset, like the UK in general, is very campervan and motorhome-friendly. You must be careful to only park and stay overnight in specially designated areas, primarily motorhome and campervan parks and camping grounds that offer facilities and pitches for rental recreational travel vehicles.
