  • Peaceful rural site by the Frome river, 10 minutes' drive from Wool
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Jurassic Coast
  • Less than 10 minutes from Monkey World and the Tank Museum
Planning some Purbeck pottering? Pick a pitch at Luckford Wood Caravan and Camping, 10 minutes' drive from Wool, and you’ll be in a prime position for poking around this pretty corner of Dorset. Bring along your boots and bikes, for there are some great walks and cycle rides to be had in the area around the site (including the 25-minute trot to the local pub – huzzah for a path that ends in pints). Kids rolling their eyes at the idea of rural rambles? The twin attractions of Monkey World and the Tank Museum are 10 minutes away in the car, and there’s heaps more days out within half an hour: beaches, sea kayaking, steam train rides and an ancient castle among them. Life on site meanders along at a peaceful pace – it’s a most serene setting, surrounded by woodland and with the Frome river flowing by, and there’s plenty of space to walk dogs or stoke up a fire (small firepits only, ta – you wouldn’t want to set the place alight now). Take a quiet wander around the grounds and you may just spot the local deer herd popping by to graze. Naturally, this chilled vibe doesn’t lend itself to heaps of noisy activity, so facilities here have been kept to just the basics: the smart modern toilet block has loos, showers and a washing-up area and is proudly scrubbed clean on a daily basis.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely big pitches with everything you need. Peaceful and laid back vibe. Easy access to all the big Dorset attractions.

Disliked Ideally the showers need to be separated as we don't think everybody will be comfortable with the communal changing area.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The natural landscape, excellent prices, friendly staff. The facilities were clean and look after. Great site and visit in general.

Disliked The showers were very small and too communal for my liking. We were unfortunate to have some inconsiderate families very close to us but can’t blame the site for that.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Second visit to Luckford Wood. First time we stayed as a couple, this visit was as a family with children aged 9, 13 and 15.
Facilities lovely and clean, very generous pitch sizes.
On arrival we met the owner and it was a very relaxed welcome. We were travelling in two vehicles and although we didn’t arrive at the same time this was not an issue at all.
Lots of space for the kids to run about, play games and not be in anyone else’s space.
We will definitely be back.
No Wi-Fi….thank you!! Time away should be spent with each other and not streaming random rubbish.
We will keep our fingers crossed that the pizza truck that was there on our first visit, will be there next time.
Thank you all at Luckford Wood :)

Electric grass pitch

Liked Peaceful campsite.
Lots of good pitches.
Very fairly priced.
Good washing up facilities.
Good toilet facilities cleaned daily. (Mop and bucket to use in shower)

Disliked Entry road is bumpy.
Toilet floor and showers could be cleaner. (Lots of bits of toilet tissue, if people cleaned up after themselves it would be ok)
Showers are small.
Some of the posts for EHU points were unstable. (One fell overnight but was fixed in the morning)
Lots of wasps.(Obviously not the campsites fault but bring repellent or trap)

Local attractions

If you’re into all things vehicular, start your local exploration at The Tank Museum, 10 minutes’ drive away – the collection of more than 300 tanks (including Little Willie, the world’s first) is renowned as the world’s finest. Follow up with a steam-powered ride on the Swanage Railway (25 minutes away). As you ride the rails, you’ll pass the ruins of Corfe Castle, built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror – it’s about 15 minutes from the site if you’d like to take a closer look. A mile or so up the road from the castle is the cute Wareham Bears, where more than 200 teddies live in a model village. For real-life animal antics, take the 10-minute drive to Monkey World to see the apes that found TV fame in the UK as stars of the Monkey Life. And one can't ignore the Jurassic Coast – it’ll take you 20 minutes or so to drive to some of its most stunning sights, including Lulworth Cove, Man O’War beach and the giant stone arch Durdle Door. A walk on the South West Coast Path is an excellent way to take it all in, or you could try paddleboarding, sea kayaking or coasteering to get a different view.
