General
- Adults-only site in peaceful Dorset countryside
- Top spot for slow-paced getaways
- 30-minute drive from Bournemouth and the Dorset coast
Feeling frazzled from the constant to and fro that is modern life? At Dapplewood Caravan Site, an adults-only site in Dorset, less than a mile from the village of Holt and a 10-minute drive from the market town of Wimborne, you can let all those stresses melt away.
Dapplewood is a great base if you want to switch off from the manic real world: slow things down with a stroll on Holt Heath less than five minutes’ drive from the site, explore Moors Valley, 10 minutes away, or centre yourself with a strawberry picking excursion at Holt Wood Farm.
Back on site, you’re in a top spot to unwind. The site keeps distractions to a minimum, so you can be sure of some peace and quiet – take Rex for a walk off-lead in the two acres of ash and oak woodland or relax at the picnic area under the trees, gazing out over the fields next to the site.
Barbecues are encouraged at Dapplewood, so feel free to pile one high with all your faves and chow down. You can grab supplies from one of the shops in Wimborne or, if you’d prefer to have someone else do the cooking, venture across the fields to the local gastropub or nab a table at one of the many restaurants with 10 minutes of the site.

Local attractions
What’s a holiday without some sun, sea and sand? At Dapplewood, at least two of those are within easy reach – Highcliffe, Bournemouth and Sandbanks beaches are each within 40 minutes’ drive of the site, and are top spots for watersports, sailing and visits to the stunning coast.
At Dapplewood, you’re well placed for exploration of this part of the country. There are plenty of cycling routes passing close to the site – take your pick and follow it around historic sites, soaking in the scenic Dorset countryside.
Let yourself be transported back in time with a trip to the stunning Kingston Lacy, 15 minutes from Dapplewood, where you can poke around the Egyptian artefacts, wander through the Japanese Gardens and imagine what it must feel like to have an IOU from a king. There are loads more stately piles close to the site, including Little Clarendon, Mompesson House, Max Gate and Mottisfont. History enthusiasts who are craving a little more can see the Cerne Abbas Giant hillside carving and Stonehenge, both less than an hour from the site.
The shops, theatres, restaurants, museums and galleries of Bournemouth are 30 minutes away – Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and the Oceanarium are must-sees, and the more adventurous might like to try the climbing walls, vertical drop slide and ziplines at the Bournemouth Pier.
