Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Basic site and not worth the money we paid.
Electric grass pitch
Liked I liked the play ground and the shop.
Disliked The toilet block was not nearly cleaned enough. The floor was not mopped once during our 3 night stay and the showers didn't look like they had been cleaned at all. The pitches were also very close together. The "heated" pool was very cold and the pool area was not cleaned with plasters everywhere around the sub beds.

Electric grass pitch
Liked We had a great stay at Wilksworth Caravan Park! The site was clean, well-maintained, and had a lovely, spacious layout. One of the highlights was the big playground plenty of space for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. It’s a peaceful, family-friendly spot with everything you need for a relaxing break.
Disliked The only downside was the swimming pool — it was a bit too cold for comfort, which was a shame as everything else was spot on. Still, overall a really enjoyable experience and we’d definitely come back.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would go back, when the pool is open.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Big pitches with plenty of space for caravan, awning and car, could of fitted another awning too was that big. Clean and tidy site with tennis court, football pitch, paddle courts and swimming pool, though as mentioned, it was not open. A good children's play park though with lots to do for all ages.
Disliked Swimming pool not open, could easily have been as weather was good enough. No privacy on pitches as they were on top of each other.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Good clear communication as soon I booked pitch, with info being sent regarding stay sent ahead of stay. Shower block was clean and we didn't have to wait to use the facilities during our stay despite being very busy.

Lovely little camp site, if you have young children or you are older
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch size very good. Nice small park
Disliked Pool system- had to wait an hour and half (even though I turned up half a before a session)
Very small dog paddock - especially since no other way of exercising or exploring because of private land all around.
No other walks- kids got bored, not really suitable for older kids and/or if you have a decent size dog who needs lots of exercise. We had no where else to go out of park ie walk/ adventures and exploring

Noisy and dirty facilities.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nær Wimborne by bike.
Disliked We had noisy neighbors who crossed over our plott nearly knocking us over with their electric “bikes”. We asked if we could move but apparently the place was fully booked. I asked if they could contact us if a place became available. They never did even though we saw two empty spots and knew one of them was available all weekend as the people beside us told us they had moved from one of them as they didn’t want the shade. Felt the person at the reception had no intention of helping me. Maybe because we were not British? To many foreigners our Norwegian language appears to be German.
The toilets and showers were dirty.

Lovely friendly campsite. Clean and well kept
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely quiet site. Good facilities but a little bit of a walk. Close to Wimborne but far enough away to feel right in the countryside
Disliked The toilets being too far away from the touring fields.

Sites are very level and clean, plenty of electric and water stations
Electric grass pitch
Liked The park was beautiful and clean, our pitch was very easy to find. The ablushions were spotless. The shop was perfect for a late afternoon ice cream to cook the day down.
