Lovely friendly campsite. Clean and well kept
Powered grass campsite
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
Powered grass campsite
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.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Family Escape at Wilksworth Caravan Park
Our recent stay at Wilksworth Caravan Park was absolutely wonderful — a perfect getaway for families looking to unwind, explore, and enjoy quality time together. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this campsite is designed with families in mind, offering a warm, safe, and welcoming environment that both kids and adults will love.
🏕 Spacious and Comfortable Pitches
Wilksworth offers a variety of pitches, including spacious grass and hardstanding options, which made setting up our tent and camping gear a breeze. The pitches were well-maintained and flat, providing plenty of room for our kids to run around safely without feeling cramped. The availability of electric hookups was a big bonus, helping us stay connected and powered throughout our stay.
🚿 Clean and Family-Friendly Facilities
One of the standout features of Wilksworth is the excellent facilities. The toilets and shower blocks were immaculate, cleaned regularly, and equipped with plenty of hot water — a must-have when camping with children! They also provide family-sized shower rooms and baby-changing areas, which made things so much easier for us as parents.
🌳 Beautiful Location and Outdoor Activities
Nestled in the beautiful Dorset countryside, Wilksworth is the perfect base for outdoor adventures. We loved exploring the nearby walking trails and the peaceful surroundings, which gave us a real sense of escape from the busy day-to-day life. The kids especially enjoyed playing outside, discovering nature, and making new friends with other families staying at the park.
🧸 Activities and Play Areas for Kids
Wilksworth truly shines when it comes to keeping children entertained. The play areas were well-equipped, safe, and perfect for children of all ages. Our kids were thrilled to have a space where they could play freely while we relaxed nearby. On some evenings, the park organised family-friendly activities and small events that added a lovely community feel and gave us all a chance to connect with other campers.
🍽 Convenience and Extras
The on-site shop was a lifesaver for picking up essentials and treats without having to drive into town. Whether it was snacks for the kids or last-minute camping supplies, everything we needed was available. Nearby, there are also charming local pubs and cafes where we enjoyed meals after busy days outdoors.
🤝 Friendly and Helpful Staff
The staff at Wilksworth were exceptional — friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist. They provided us with useful local information and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Their genuine care for guests made a big difference to our experience.
📝 Final Thoughts
Camping at Wilksworth Caravan Park was a highlight for our family. It combined the joy of outdoor living with the comfort and convenience of well-maintained facilities and a family-focused atmosphere. If you’re looking for a campsite where your kids can be safe, entertained, and free to explore, while you enjoy peace of mind and beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend Wilksworth.
We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return for another family adventure!

Liked Pitch was a good size.
Disliked Swimming pool closed on the Sunday, no notice given.
Need another shower/toilet block for the amount of pitches.
Unruly behaviour of large party on camping field, a warden had spoken to them twice but my daughter and partner were still kept awake until well after 2am. Reception staff not willing to let them move onto our pitch in an awning. They said there was not enough room. There was plenty of room, and parking spaces not used right by our pitch. This daughter decided to go home a day early because they couldn’t face another night of broken sleep.
Another daughter was in a caravan and had to be off the pitch by 11am. As it was our other daughters 40th birthday they asked if they could take the caravan off this pitch and leave on the car park for only a couple of hours. No was the answer. Again there was plenty of room by our pitch that they could have left the caravan on.
Not willing to accommodate or even try to sort out certain problems.

Lovely site

Liked Lovely clean little campsite. Very friendly staff, even helped me with an issue with my tent. Great location for Wimborne and the rest of Dorset.
Disliked You weren't allowed to park next to your tent in the tent field.. Quite inconvenient when you have a small tent and you use your car as storage.

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Such a beautiful site, lovely duck pond on entry. Toilet facilities very large and kept very clean and well stocked.
Great sized pitches, although would have loved pitch flexibility as the area we were in was very quiet, however we were directly next to a family with young baby, and children and hyperactive dog. It was only a one night stay so wasn’t a huge issue.
Overall would absolutely stay again, perfect for our trip to sandbanks for the day.
Disliked Swimming slots were only hourly, so we didn’t make use of this feature. I feel like a slightly longer slot time would be beneficial for those wanting a visit to local area/beach.
Some of the shower cubicles locks didn’t work so in peak season you would have to wait.
Lovely site, friendly staff but mis sold outdoor pool
Powered grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches
Plenty of drinking water taps, waste water and refuse areas
Well kept grass pitches
Lots of areas for playing games and to enjoy the outdoors
Disliked Pool was only open for 1 of the 3 days we stayed and this was one of the main attractions of the site. Although we appreciated the 'weather permitting' part of the opening conditions the weather was beautiful on our third day and many families could be seen queuing to wait for bands only to be disappointed to hear the pool was not just closed in the immediacy but that it would not open at all that day.
Only stayed for 1 night, will come back and stay longer next time
