  • 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.

What customers say

A well-kept, quiet campground with roomy, level spots. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful, especially Grant. Generally clean, modern facilities, though some guests found showers lacked privacy and had temperature issues. Great for exploring the Jurassic Coast. The on-site pizza van is a hit.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great little hidden gem

Disliked Not much to complain about.
Though there are 3 showers but if someone locks the main door to them while in use, only one shower is being used at a time which lead to a que which seamed pointless.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Perfectly adequate. Nice and quiet on the whole. Friendly staff. Only 9mins from Wareham town centre.

Disliked Grass had been cut just before we arrived which was a bit annoying but I guess grass has to be cut.
Could maybe do with a couple more showers in the shower block.
Ground was a bit Stoney when trying to put in the tent pegs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

7/10 simple facilities - reasonable comparing fees at other sites.

Liked Simple layout, loads or room, toilets and shower block and availability of sinks. Location. Friendliness of staff.

Disliked Overflowing dog bin and full euro bins: however, it was a weekend at the end of the two week school break, so no deal-breaker.

Liked Very nice site and quite. Lots of space for your pitch.

Disliked The showers are very small as you do not have a private area to dry or change clothes unless you lock the block of showers as you only have a shower curtain for privacy. Also the toilets are not that clean and did smell at the beginning of the season.

Liked Staff were brilliant, very friendly, very helpful. Gave me a nice shaded spot for the dog, helped me fix my pump so I can put up my inflatable tent. Campsite was nice and quiet, central easy to get to all the beaches.

Disliked The toilets were very unclean and the shower temperature was all over the place.

Robert L. 1 review

Powered grass campsite

Liked Owner was friendly and welcoming on arrival and check in was smooth

Disliked Showers and toilets really need cleaning and a few times a day. Noise was ridiculous till 330am both days as a party were giving it some. That should be dealt with.
Electric points are needing extensions unless very close to the posts.

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.
