  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked EHU. Welcome was friendly. Pitch was flat and level.

Disliked Toilets were smelly and the washbasins were outside rather than inside the building. Some of the taps only had hot water - not ideal for brushing teeth. Only one shower in the women’s block - for the whole site. Considering the cost, not very impressed with how close to other campers we were. Felt pretty packed in and overpriced.

BRYN J.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely setting and flexible pitches. We were able to choose where to pitch. The owner is kind and helpful. We enjoyed a fire pit (£12 including firefighter and wood) and pizza on site (£12 each). Facilities were clean and central on site.

Disliked Only three showers with curtains and communal changing area. One shower stayed cold.

Loved our stay, more showers are needed and a recycling bin.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite owner is easy going and will accommodate changes if possible. The pitches are generally clean and spaced-out. There is no signal or WiFi so it’s a complete break from technology! It was a last minute booking and I needed to keep costs low so it did what I needed. If you’re looking for onsite entertainment or excellent facilities, this is not the site for you. If you just want a base for your tent/caravan/campervan, this site is perfect. I felt safe so this is always important especially when in a tent.

Disliked The facilities were basic, but offered wha was needed. They were clean enough, but considering they were share, they probably could and should be cleaner. The showers- private showers, but the changing facilities are communal so be prepared to change/dry in front of others. There is a lockable door, but that would others can’t come and use the showers. It’s a shame there aren’t private changing areas. Firepits are £12 per night which seems a bit excessive- I’ve been to other places and rented a fire pit for my duration.

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.
