Wood Farm Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.2 171 reviews

Well-maintained park half a mile from the coast
Lots of open space and fishing lakes on site
Café, indoor pool, tennis court and a licensed shop

You don’t get to your 51st birthday as a campsite without doing something very right. And the cheerful and dedicated team at Wood Farm Holiday Park near Charmouth in Dorset have had things sorted since 1972: pristine facilities and well-kept grounds, fishing lakes on site stuffed with stock and lots of open space... The rural setting is pitch-perfect too, among mature trees and in the Char Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, under a mile from Charmouth and the Jurassic Coast. There’s plenty of wildlife to watch, especially around the fishing lakes: rabbits bound about and you can also spot red deer at times. For tasty fodder, the Offshore Café has takeaway on offer (send the kids to clamber on the shipwreck structure a few metres away until the food arrives). The café overlooks the Offshore indoor pool, which is available to all guests for a small charge; you can buy discount tickets at reception and the pool is free for under-fives. For other activities, there’s a tennis court on site as well as a giant draughts board to puzzle over, and once you’re ready to explore Dorset, the Wood Farm tourist information room has loads of leaflets on things to do and see in the area. There’s also a licensed park shop selling groceries as well as the daily papers, camping essentials and gas. Dogs are allowed on site.

Camping pod

Liked: Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Nice, clean, secured and well maintained swimming pool with clean hot (30°C) water. Clean toilets and showers with hot water. Perfectly located with walking distance from Charmouth town centre and less then 10 min drive from beautiful Lyme Regis.

Disliked: Cafe should have a choice of locally brewed beers and ciders rather than common types like birra morretti but it's not really a dislike. It's more likely polite suggestion.

Camping pod

Liked: The pods were perfect, beds were comfy and clean.
Stayed lovely and warm once we worked out how to use the radiator.
Had everything we needed for our 2 nights away

Disliked: The swimming pool was apparently 30°
It felt more like 15°, had to get out after 15mins.

You can hear the traffic on the main road just outside the park- this is no fault of the park though

Camping pod

Liked: Cleanliness of pod. Views and surrounding areas of pod. Cleanliness of toilets and shower area.

Disliked: The showers although clean,we're awful. Especially the first two in the womens block. Twice we went for food at the restaurant attached to the pool and was unable to get food as there wasn't enough, it was an hour and half before closing time. Park was lacking, needs updating and is only really aimed at young children. Shop on site was lacking a lot of essentials. Not a lot to do onsite, but was clean and quiet. Walk to the shower block and toilet wasn't great. I paid for bedding and my friend didn't, we both got it and the bed sheets are not fitted so move constantly.

Camping pod

Liked: Friendly welcome from the staff in reception.
Camping pod & shower/washup facilities were clean.
Whole park was in an excellent state of maintenance.
On-site tennis court & indoor swimming pool were bonuses.
Superb views down the valley.

Disliked: There was quite a wide gap between the central overlap of the patio doors of the camping pod, even when they were closed & locked. That did let some cold air into the pod early in the mornings.

Camping pod

Liked: The premises and accomodation were very well kept and clean, the bath house warm and the showers hot! Lastly and most importantly the reception staff was very lovely and gave good suggestions for the area. As a dog owner, I appreciated that there are two big fenced dog walking areas and the surrpunding area offers a lot of nice walking/hiking options. The little town down by the sea has a dog friendly pub and a lovely little cafe for breakfast or tea and cake. The premises seem to have good recreational areas like a playground and pool, both of which I did not make use of, but they made a good impression.

Disliked: The noise from the big road was quite present, after a moment however it easily disappears into the background.

Camping pod

Liked: Amazing place for a relaxed break. Pods are very cute, comfy bed, heating inside. There is a lovely swimming pool, tennis court, ping pong table. There is also a lot of green around so it is ideal if you want to go on walks. If you want to stop by the beach, it is only 5min away.

Overall, everything was just lovely.

Local attractions

The beaches at Charmouth and ‘the pearl of Dorset’ Lyme Regis are both within walking distance. Both are known for rich fossil-hunting pickings and have historic towns to browse around – Lyme Regis is famous for its Cobb Harbour and Jane Austen associations, while Charmouth has a Heritage Coast Centre to help you out with your fossil finds. Charmouth is one of the gateway towns to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, with coastal walks, climbing, watersports and fishing all abounding along its 93-mile stretch. The ‘anchor towns’ of Exeter, Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch are all accessible from this section of coast: kids can splash about at the Splashdown Water Park in Poole, walk under water in the tunnel at Bournemouth Oceanarium or get crafty at the ‘yummy mummy centre’ Zooma in Christchurch. For wildlife watching, take a trip on the Seaton open air tramway along the Axe estuary to see flocks of wading birds at the area’s nature reserves, or go to one of the many wildlife centres and attractions about; you could peer at the meerkats in the Axe Valley Wildlife Park, or see the seals among the thousand animals at Weymouth Sealife Park. Wildlife of an ancient bent can be scoped at Dorchester’s award-winning Dinosaur Museum. A Jurassic-sized amount of historical attractions is in Dorset and neighbouring Devon too, such as medieval Forde Abbey, the grottoes and gardens at Mapperton Abbey, the National Trust’s Shute Barton and the exotic Japanese gardens and Egyptian artefacts at Kingston Lacy House and Gardens.
