Richard J.

Electric grass pitch

Liked This is a great base if you want to explore Dorset as it's between Bournemouth and Weymouth, and a 5 minute walk to the train/bus station and 2 pubs. The caravan park itself is lovely and surrounded by miles of fields by the river for lovely walks, the site is very clean, the toilets and shower block are immaculately clean and tidy.
The staff, absolutely fantastic and go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay, nothing is to much trouble at all.
We absolutely loved our time there and will definitely return, so if you want a top class park then dont hesitate in booking this one.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Everything ❤️❤️❤️
The site is clean, well looked after, but it's the staff who make it.
The toilets are spotless and a little touch of music playing in there.
The staff very kindly unhitch you and put your caravan in position for you, very helpful, especially when you've been travelling for a while.
Also a great location, central for many places.
Our 2nd year here and will be back.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very welcoming and friendly staff. Pitches well kept. Excellent showers and toilet block.
A small village but with well stocked Spar, bakery, butcher, Fish &Chips, Chinese. All within easy walking distance. Pub with food over the footbridge.
We used the excellent public transport most of the week. Great connections for most of the regions attractions.
We would definitely recommend it.

Emma S.

Short stay electric grass pitch (XL)

Liked The toilets and showers were SUPER clean!
All the staff were incredibly friendly and informative of the local area. It is perfectly located for using public transport, both bus and train. The pitch was a great size and because it's not a huge site, all the amenities were really close. There's a little play park for younger children that ours and others seemed to enjoy.
We loved the games room, perfect for a slightly rainier evening.

Local attractions

On the edge of the Isle of Purbeck and halfway between Bournemouth and Dorchester, Wool is handily placed for reaching some excellent attractions. Closest to the park are Monkey World and the Tank Museum in Bovington, both within a five-minute drive, 10-minute cycle or half-hour walk. If you’d like to play at being a knight, 15 minutes’ drive brings you to Corfe Castle, a medieval ruin with nooks and crannies for hiding out. Five miles south are the sea and the Jurassic Coast’s most famed attractions – Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Other options for days out include cycling around Wareham Forest followed by boating on the River Frome from Wareham (10 minutes’ drive), or a trip on the Swanage Railway half an hour away, or – well, it’s safe to say you won’t get bored...
