  • Peaceful rural site by the Frome river, 10 minutes' drive from Wool
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Jurassic Coast
  • Less than 10 minutes from Monkey World and the Tank Museum
Planning some Purbeck pottering? Pick a pitch at Luckford Wood Caravan and Camping, 10 minutes' drive from Wool, and you’ll be in a prime position for poking around this pretty corner of Dorset. Bring along your boots and bikes, for there are some great walks and cycle rides to be had in the area around the site (including the 25-minute trot to the local pub – huzzah for a path that ends in pints). Kids rolling their eyes at the idea of rural rambles? The twin attractions of Monkey World and the Tank Museum are 10 minutes away in the car, and there’s heaps more days out within half an hour: beaches, sea kayaking, steam train rides and an ancient castle among them. Life on site meanders along at a peaceful pace – it’s a most serene setting, surrounded by woodland and with the Frome river flowing by, and there’s plenty of space to walk dogs or stoke up a fire (small firepits only, ta – you wouldn’t want to set the place alight now). Take a quiet wander around the grounds and you may just spot the local deer herd popping by to graze. Naturally, this chilled vibe doesn’t lend itself to heaps of noisy activity, so facilities here have been kept to just the basics: the smart modern toilet block has loos, showers and a washing-up area and is proudly scrubbed clean on a daily basis.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Plenty of space for any type of tent or camper van. Each area was flat and all close to the toilets and shower block.
Very quiet site.
Easy "Check In" and was told that I could pitch up anywhere that I wanted.

Quietness, and aloud to have fire pits and choose your own…

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely small and quiet site with modern and clean basic facilities. If you don't need noisy bars and the customary noisy after effects it's fabulous. Perfect for a quiet base to explore the local area as it's only a short drive to Swanage, Wareham, Corfe and various spots along the Jurassic Coast.
Easy to fall asleep as all other guests were very respectful and kept noise to a bare murmur until 10pm when I couldn't hear a single sound. Perfect.

Disliked Noisy sheep (I jest, it added to the rural and peaceful country atmosphere).
The only small thing would be if you are camping, make sure you have good solid tent pegs as the ground can be quite hard in places if it's been dry for an extended period.

Prima camping, vriendelijke campingbaas, voldoende faciliteiten.

Liked Lekkere rustige camping met wat struikjes. Je kan kiezen uit gras of verharde plekken en met of zonder stroom. Redelijke prijzen voor het gebodene.
Het sanitair was oud maar schoon en netjes. Er waren zelfs een wasmachine en een droger. Vriendelijke oude man die de camping beheerde en als receptionist werkt.

Everything was very clean and tidy. Washroom, toilet and shower was clean…

Liked Quiet, peaceful, facilities very clean, hot shower, toilets well maintained and equipped.

Disliked Nothing about the site, but the write up says a pub within 20 odd minutes, the pub is closed, has been for a while.
You need to be able to drive out for pubs, food etc not an issue really, just not clear on the write up.

Excellent site,very clean, friendly staff. Will definitely visit again

Shepherd's hut

Liked Location, cleanliness and noise volume.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, maybe space for clothes in Shepards hut but otherwise no real complaints. Not the end of the world but 0 signal here for calls or internet, so maybe WiFi or something to accommodate this would be useful.

Nice site with friendly staff but horrible facilities

Local attractions

If you’re into all things vehicular, start your local exploration at The Tank Museum, 10 minutes’ drive away – the collection of more than 300 tanks (including Little Willie, the world’s first) is renowned as the world’s finest. Follow up with a steam-powered ride on the Swanage Railway (25 minutes away). As you ride the rails, you’ll pass the ruins of Corfe Castle, built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror – it’s about 15 minutes from the site if you’d like to take a closer look. A mile or so up the road from the castle is the cute Wareham Bears, where more than 200 teddies live in a model village. For real-life animal antics, take the 10-minute drive to Monkey World to see the apes that found TV fame in the UK as stars of the Monkey Life. And one can't ignore the Jurassic Coast – it’ll take you 20 minutes or so to drive to some of its most stunning sights, including Lulworth Cove, Man O’War beach and the giant stone arch Durdle Door. A walk on the South West Coast Path is an excellent way to take it all in, or you could try paddleboarding, sea kayaking or coasteering to get a different view.
