Check out http://funplace2b.co.uk/camp/ if it's still up.
Put Dorset in the search field and you'll find at least two that will meet your wishes.

Never stayed here but its only a mile from my place! It has all the things you ask for. Often go down there for bands and do's also have done a fair amount of work down there. Always seems a good place to stay and many people go back year after year.

Hi, spent a week last summer at West Bay Holiday Park, near Bridport. Its got everything you ask for and is well within walking distance of the beach. All the pitches are on terraces with sea views, can get abit windy though up on the top level. Loos and showers good but is abit expensive high season :ok

Only thing I'd add to that is that West Bay is a parkdean site (do a lot of work for parkdean) so you know what kind of infrastructure you'll get with them. Freshwater is privatly owned and they spend more on upkeep than parkdean do. Freshwater's beach is private (but to fair you have to walk through or beside the static site from the touring site but it still won't take you more than a couple of minutes).

Freshwater was my first choice last summer but it was fully booked when I could go so ended up at West Bay. There are loads of other ace looking (from the outside) sites down there along the coast, but not with everything you are looking for. West Bay is good for kids, loads to do. Wouldn't go there again if not with kids.

That's useful information, I think I'll try Freshwater.

I don't remember there being a swimming pool, but the beach isn't far away.
(It's a fairly steep, stepped path down to the sea though, so if you're not reasonably fit, or you have small children and buggies and stuff, you'd be admiring the view from the top of the cliff ~ which is just as nice :) )
