Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would go back, when the pool is open.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Big pitches with plenty of space for caravan, awning and car, could of fitted another awning too was that big. Clean and tidy site with tennis court, football pitch, paddle courts and swimming pool, though as mentioned, it was not open. A good children's play park though with lots to do for all ages.
Disliked Swimming pool not open, could easily have been as weather was good enough. No privacy on pitches as they were on top of each other.

Lovely little camp site, if you have young children or you are older
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch size very good. Nice small park
Disliked Pool system- had to wait an hour and half (even though I turned up half a before a session)
Very small dog paddock - especially since no other way of exercising or exploring because of private land all around.
No other walks- kids got bored, not really suitable for older kids and/or if you have a decent size dog who needs lots of exercise. We had no where else to go out of park ie walk/ adventures and exploring

Noisy and dirty facilities.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nær Wimborne by bike.
Disliked We had noisy neighbors who crossed over our plott nearly knocking us over with their electric “bikes”. We asked if we could move but apparently the place was fully booked. I asked if they could contact us if a place became available. They never did even though we saw two empty spots and knew one of them was available all weekend as the people beside us told us they had moved from one of them as they didn’t want the shade. Felt the person at the reception had no intention of helping me. Maybe because we were not British? To many foreigners our Norwegian language appears to be German.
The toilets and showers were dirty.

Lovely friendly campsite. Clean and well kept
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely quiet site. Good facilities but a little bit of a walk. Close to Wimborne but far enough away to feel right in the countryside
Disliked The toilets being too far away from the touring fields.

Sites are very level and clean, plenty of electric and water stations
Electric grass pitch
Liked The park was beautiful and clean, our pitch was very easy to find. The ablushions were spotless. The shop was perfect for a late afternoon ice cream to cook the day down.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Family Escape at Wilksworth Caravan Park
Our recent stay at Wilksworth Caravan Park was absolutely wonderful — a perfect getaway for families looking to unwind, explore, and enjoy quality time together. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this campsite is designed with families in mind, offering a warm, safe, and welcoming environment that both kids and adults will love.
🏕 Spacious and Comfortable Pitches
Wilksworth offers a variety of pitches, including spacious grass and hardstanding options, which made setting up our tent and camping gear a breeze. The pitches were well-maintained and flat, providing plenty of room for our kids to run around safely without feeling cramped. The availability of electric hookups was a big bonus, helping us stay connected and powered throughout our stay.
🚿 Clean and Family-Friendly Facilities
One of the standout features of Wilksworth is the excellent facilities. The toilets and shower blocks were immaculate, cleaned regularly, and equipped with plenty of hot water — a must-have when camping with children! They also provide family-sized shower rooms and baby-changing areas, which made things so much easier for us as parents.
🌳 Beautiful Location and Outdoor Activities
Nestled in the beautiful Dorset countryside, Wilksworth is the perfect base for outdoor adventures. We loved exploring the nearby walking trails and the peaceful surroundings, which gave us a real sense of escape from the busy day-to-day life. The kids especially enjoyed playing outside, discovering nature, and making new friends with other families staying at the park.
🧸 Activities and Play Areas for Kids
Wilksworth truly shines when it comes to keeping children entertained. The play areas were well-equipped, safe, and perfect for children of all ages. Our kids were thrilled to have a space where they could play freely while we relaxed nearby. On some evenings, the park organised family-friendly activities and small events that added a lovely community feel and gave us all a chance to connect with other campers.
🍽 Convenience and Extras
The on-site shop was a lifesaver for picking up essentials and treats without having to drive into town. Whether it was snacks for the kids or last-minute camping supplies, everything we needed was available. Nearby, there are also charming local pubs and cafes where we enjoyed meals after busy days outdoors.
🤝 Friendly and Helpful Staff
The staff at Wilksworth were exceptional — friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist. They provided us with useful local information and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Their genuine care for guests made a big difference to our experience.
📝 Final Thoughts
Camping at Wilksworth Caravan Park was a highlight for our family. It combined the joy of outdoor living with the comfort and convenience of well-maintained facilities and a family-focused atmosphere. If you’re looking for a campsite where your kids can be safe, entertained, and free to explore, while you enjoy peace of mind and beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend Wilksworth.
We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return for another family adventure!

Pitch was a good size.…
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch was a good size.
Disliked Swimming pool closed on the Sunday, no notice given.
Need another shower/toilet block for the amount of pitches.
Unruly behaviour of large party on camping field, a warden had spoken to them twice but my daughter and partner were still kept awake until well after 2am. Reception staff not willing to let them move onto our pitch in an awning. They said there was not enough room. There was plenty of room, and parking spaces not used right by our pitch. This daughter decided to go home a day early because they couldn’t face another night of broken sleep.
Another daughter was in a caravan and had to be off the pitch by 11am. As it was our other daughters 40th birthday they asked if they could take the caravan off this pitch and leave on the car park for only a couple of hours. No was the answer. Again there was plenty of room by our pitch that they could have left the caravan on.
Not willing to accommodate or even try to sort out certain problems.
