  • Family-friendly park a mile from the market town of Wimborne
  • Monkey World, Peppa Pig World and the Jurassic Coast within 45 minutes
  • Heated outdoor pool, playground and BMX track on site
Best be waving bye-bye to the boss for as long a while as poss if you’re wending your way to Wilksworth Caravan Park… there’s a rather lengthy list of stuff to do in the vicinity of this family-friendly spot a mile from Wimborne. Even before you’ve even ventured beyond the park’s boundaries there’s much to fill an hour or few with: an outdoor pool with splash pool for the small sorts, a football field, a BMX track, table tennis and a playground. Site passes also entitle you to scoot over to a sister park 20 minutes away to swim in their indoor pool, work out at the well-equipped gym and join in with a huge range of daytime activities and evening ents. And you’ll no doubt be wanting to leave plenty of time for getting out and about too: beaches, forest walks, pony rides, museums and boat trips are all within easy reach… and it’s just possible the kids may draw your attention to the proximity of Monkey World and/or Peppa Pig World too. The park is also well located for some gorgeous scenery – particularly in the nearby New Forest National Park and Cranborne Chase National Landscape. The latter is also an International Dark Sky Reserve, so get set for some fantastic stargazing on clear nights. In the interests of maxing out your available leisure hours, the basics are well-supplied on site: bathrooms have all mod cons (underfloor heating, free hairdryers and accessible facilities among them) and there’s a washing-up area and wifi connection. Eats can be picked up at the shop, or it’s a doddle to waddle off to the local pub (a traditional thatched number 15 minutes’ walk away).

What customers say

This tidy park has plenty of room, family-friendly stuff like a playground & pool. Staff are legends, close to Wimborne. Facilities are clean, though some reckon they're a bit old and need more scrubbing. It can get a bit loud and busy.

Liked We loved everything about the park . We were close to the swimming pool and the park and not too far from the shower block .
My daughter loved the pool and I was happy to let her go in on her own after her first time in there I sat watching her making sure she was ok.
I like the hour slot at a time as it encouraged her to come back to our pitch and get a drink.
The park area was good and she loved the sand. Its a very friendly site and I would highly recommend.
This was our first family camping holiday and I am really pleased I found this site.
Would definately stay again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about the park as it was the ideal size

Local attractions

Hold on to your hats, folks: the staff on site have many suggestions for a day out round these parts. Beach days, for starters – on the sandy stretch in Bournemouth perhaps, or rubbing shoulders with the swanky folks at Sandbanks, both of which are half an hour away by car. Charmouth, an hour away, is the place for dino-loving kids to ferret out a fossil or two. Potter down to Poole Quay (half an hour away) for boat trips to Brownsea Island, or drive down to Durdle Door (45 minutes) to swim or kayak through the huge limestone arch. Away from the coast, the New Forest National Park is half an hour away for fresh-air frolics including walks, horse rides and canoe trips. And keep the kids on best behaviour with the promise of a trip to Peppa Pig World, Monkey World, Adventure Wonderland or Go Ape, all of which are within a half-hour drive.
