Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Peace & quiet, lovely location, no rowdy bars just a small shop that's open until 5. Lovely staff, special shout out to Emma who was brilliant in my time of crisis. My Bongo campavan malfunctioned the day before I was due to sail from Poole to Cherbourg and as a result I had to reschedule my Brittany Ferry booking for the following day and stay an extra night at Wilksworth Holiday Park. Emma arranged our extra nights stay and rearranged booking so we wouldn't have to move our awning on the extra unscheduled nights stay 🙌✨️ The location is fabulous just outside the historic medieval town of Wimbourne. Will most definitely book to come here again to explore the area. I have to add that the prices are extremely good too.
Disliked: I really can't think of any negatives, I'd change nothing.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: There was a family bathroom that had a bathtub and a changing table, it was really spacious which was useful with a baby. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The pool was closed by the time we went but it looked like it would be amazing when open. There is a dog wash with a warm shower which was really useful for cleaning our dogs off before coming back into the tent. The site was clean and tidy in general.
Disliked: The dog exercise paddock was quite small, though it was big enough to play fetch with our smallish dogs. The shower blocks were a bit tired, they seem to be due an upgrade. The electricity for the tent pitches is shared between multiple pitches and if you don't have a very long cable it could be an issue, we had to ask to move closer to the electricity point, they were able to accommodate this.

Liked: Clean & tidy site, our hard standing pitch was flat & had a gravel area to the side. Toilets & showers were clean. Site was only 1.5m walk into Wimborne and there was a pavement. Free WiFi worked well

Liked: Nice and well maintained caravan park. Short few minutes drive from a very cute town of Wimborne. Nice hot showers at no extra charge.
Disliked: Luckily it was not fully booked, otherwise, if all pitched taken, you would feel jammed. No walking path from the site.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Very easy campsite. You get sent an entry code and pitch number and then left to your holiday. You have to leave the car once unpacked at the car park but that was not a bother at all. The kids loved the pool, very clean environment, it's nice to have a convenient shop on site too. Close enough to some great locations for days out with the kids. We did not have any issues. Would definitely come here again.
