  • 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.

Liked We have been coming here for a number of years now. Grant and his team are always so polite and welcoming. Whilst it was busy when we stayed you never felt as though everyone was on top of each other and there was a genuine chilled out feeling.

Disliked Having to come home.

Shepherd's hut

Liked Absolutely loved this site. It's location is rural but close drive away from everything you could want or need. The site toilets were gleaming. We stayed in a little shepherds hut and they were bigger than ones we've stayed in before. Some lovely pubs and Uber was really frequent and super cheap. We visited lulworth cove, blue pool & wareham quay. They came with electric, bed, little fridge/freezer, toaster & kettle and running water 💦 couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be coming back again with our family and friends!
Absolutely cracking site and amazing owner!

Liked The guys on the site were really helpful, welcoming and friendly.

We liked the location for visiting lulworth cove, corfe castle and durdle door…there’s so much to do locally we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, if we were visiting the area again we wouldn’t hesitate to rebook!

There was also a fabulous deal for log fires in the evening which we took full advantage of. The Jurassic slice pizza on the Thursday evening was enjoyed by all too.
We found the facilities to be clean throughout our stay.

There is next to no phone signal here, which I personally enjoyed..traveling with the children it ment we were all living in the moment and enjoying time together instead of stuck to various devices.

Disliked If we had to be picky I suppose the motorhome chemical waste area was a little smelly at times…but really, that’s to be expected so it’s certainly not a criticism.

Liked Luckford Wood is a no frills campsite in a fabulous location for exploring this area of Dorset. Large flat pitches with shade available if needed. Grant was very welcoming and took us to our pitch. He has a very laid back attitude unlike some sites I’ve been on recently! Great pizzas on Saturday night.

Nice facilities and plenty of pitch space. Great having the mobile pizza…

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.
