Happy campers on an extra-large grass pitch

Well-located adults-only Dorset touring park near the A35
Poole Quay, Corfe Castle and Monkey World within 20 minutes’ drive
Dogs welcome; Lytchett Matravers pubs and shops a mile away

Have a look at this for a conveniently located place to stay in the Dorset countryside – Huntick Retreat is only a little way off the A35, the main road running across the county, and it’s a mere mile from the shops and pubs of Lytchett Matravers. Not that it’s all about the location, handy though it is… this is a site that’s surrounded by lovely views and offers a warm welcome and helpful service to all its guests. It’s an adults-only (16+) setup here, but dogs are welcome and provided with a designated exercise area for a proper stretch of the paws. There are plenty of dog-friendly pubs and attractions nearby too, so they’ll be able to join you on your outings – just ask on site for tips. Dogs will need to be kept on a lead at all times on site, however, because it’s not just human guests that like to pitch up here – the park is also popular with passing wildlife like deer – including a resident stag – badgers, buzzards and hedgehogs, so the owners are keen to make sure they’re not disturbed. Facilities at Huntick Retreat have been well thought out to make life easy for guests – you’ll have access to a launderette and drying room, a washing-up area, a wifi connection, chemical disposal and bathrooms with toilets and showers. Poole (15 minutes’ drive) is your nearest large town for anything you can’t get in Lytchett Matravers.

From the manager: Good Afternoon

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We truly understand that weather conditions, like the recent rain, can have an impact on the overall experience. Unfortunately, as much as we would love to control it, the weather can sometimes be unpredictable, and it can affect areas like the grassy spots near the hard-standing ground.

We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we truly appreciate your input.
Best regards,
Huntick Retreat

Clean facilities, shower nice and hot. Hard standing in winter.

Local attractions

Dorset is, of course, well known for its gorgeous landscapes – and it should be pretty easy to check out some of the top spots from here. Both the atmospheric ruins of Corfe Castle and the sparkling waters of the Blue Pool are about 20 minutes’ drive away; alternatively you could set off to the Jurassic Coast for a day at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door (half an hour), or head for the miles of sandy beach at Studland Peninsula (half an hour). If you fancy a bit of activity among this scenery, perhaps play a round at Bulbury Woods Golf Club (five minutes) or have a go at the madcap floating assault course at Dorset Adventure Park (20 minutes). For more leisurely strolls, board a boat at Poole Quay (15 minutes) for a wildlife trail around Brownsea Island, wander around the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy estate (15 minutes) or set off to see birds at Abbotsbury Swannery (45 minutes). Don’t write off Dorset’s favourite family attractions either – places like Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (20 minutes), The Tank Museum (25 minutes) and the Swanage Railway (half an hour) have plenty to offer for grown-up days out.
