  • Family-friendly park a mile from the market town of Wimborne
  • Monkey World, Peppa Pig World and the Jurassic Coast within 45 minutes
  • Heated outdoor pool, playground and BMX track on site
Best be waving bye-bye to the boss for as long a while as poss if you’re wending your way to Wilksworth Caravan Park… there’s a rather lengthy list of stuff to do in the vicinity of this family-friendly spot a mile from Wimborne. Even before you’ve even ventured beyond the park’s boundaries there’s much to fill an hour or few with: an outdoor pool with splash pool for the small sorts, a football field, a BMX track, table tennis and a playground. Site passes also entitle you to scoot over to a sister park 20 minutes away to swim in their indoor pool, work out at the well-equipped gym and join in with a huge range of daytime activities and evening ents. And you’ll no doubt be wanting to leave plenty of time for getting out and about too: beaches, forest walks, pony rides, museums and boat trips are all within easy reach… and it’s just possible the kids may draw your attention to the proximity of Monkey World and/or Peppa Pig World too. The park is also well located for some gorgeous scenery – particularly in the nearby New Forest National Park and Cranborne Chase National Landscape. The latter is also an International Dark Sky Reserve, so get set for some fantastic stargazing on clear nights. In the interests of maxing out your available leisure hours, the basics are well-supplied on site: bathrooms have all mod cons (underfloor heating, free hairdryers and accessible facilities among them) and there’s a washing-up area and wifi connection. Eats can be picked up at the shop, or it’s a doddle to waddle off to the local pub (a traditional thatched number 15 minutes’ walk away).

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained campsite with spacious sites and friendly staff. Visitors praise the excellent play facilities, good location, and useful on-site shop. While many found the amenities to be spotless, a few noted that some shower blocks could benefit from updating. The swimming pool is a popular addition for families. Some guests mentioned noise from other campers and occasional issues with shower temperature.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked The grass and grounds were well kept and the location was good.

Disliked We were allocated our pitched before arrival. Turns out all three arrivals for the weekend were grouped together right next to each other, with the pretty much the rest of the entire field left unoccupied - One of our neighbours had a new born baby and the other one enjoyed loud music and large fires at night. I feel like we all would benefited from a little space between us.

Also the mens toilets were in a pretty run down state, every sink had limescale stains on them, the urinals were broken and permanently left flushing.

The showers were all but two missing their seating, even the hooks on the back of the doors were snapped off. (So dry clothes falling on a wet floor is all but a given) And as for the amount of dead spiders around....

I can forgive them being in need of a refurb, but those are pretty basic things to fix.

Liked Friendly staff, nice grounds and playground, decent family toilet facilities, walking distance from the town, ducks in the pond, decent price. Great that you can use the swimming pool at the sister site which was nice

Disliked My baby was crawling on the pitch and picked up cigarette butts and someone's dirty ear plug. Pitches were quite squashed in together and on top of each other

Liked It was such a clean and well kept site. The facilities were very good.
The price was such good value for the high standards of the site. It was only the second time we had used our caravan and being on the Wilksworth site made it such an enjoyable experience.

Local attractions

Hold on to your hats, folks: the staff on site have many suggestions for a day out round these parts. Beach days, for starters – on the sandy stretch in Bournemouth perhaps, or rubbing shoulders with the swanky folks at Sandbanks, both of which are half an hour away by car. Charmouth, an hour away, is the place for dino-loving kids to ferret out a fossil or two. Potter down to Poole Quay (half an hour away) for boat trips to Brownsea Island, or drive down to Durdle Door (45 minutes) to swim or kayak through the huge limestone arch. Away from the coast, the New Forest National Park is half an hour away for fresh-air frolics including walks, horse rides and canoe trips. And keep the kids on best behaviour with the promise of a trip to Peppa Pig World, Monkey World, Adventure Wonderland or Go Ape, all of which are within a half-hour drive.
