Fantastic stay at Whitemead- would highly recommend.
Powered grass campervan campsite
Liked I loved my stay at Whitemead Caravan Park. The hosts took my needs into consideration and were super helpful and kind. They even tried to help fix a problem with my camper van. They are all very knowledgeable of the area and gave lots of suggestions on where to go hiking. All facilities are clean and lovely hot showers.
Whitemead is close to the train station that takes you to Dorchester and Weymouth and a short bus ride to Lulworth Cove and Durdle door. There are a few dog walks on the door step too.
Both Monkey world and the tank museum are very close by. I even got woken by the Monkeys one morning. Will definitely go back as soon as much more to visit.

We would definitely return sometime as the area is beautiful.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked It was my first time staying at Whitemead Caravan park. The people were pleasant to talk to and all the spaces were clean, marked up and tidy. It was close to all the amenities which was good because we were backpacking and bought our tent. The shop was good and it was quiet at night.
Disliked There were transport sounds occasionally outside the park.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, Gillian. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The occasional transport noise outside the park, unfortunately, is unavoidable and a pitfall of having shops, a pub and excellent transport links nearby. We're confident that the convenience of having these amenities close to site, far outweighs the slight and occasional noise that accompanies it, and we're glad to hear that you will be returning and recommending us to friends regardless. :)
Kind regards

Powered grass campsite
Liked This is a great base if you want to explore Dorset as it's between Bournemouth and Weymouth, and a 5 minute walk to the train/bus station and 2 pubs. The caravan park itself is lovely and surrounded by miles of fields by the river for lovely walks, the site is very clean, the toilets and shower block are immaculately clean and tidy.
The staff, absolutely fantastic and go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay, nothing is to much trouble at all.
We absolutely loved our time there and will definitely return, so if you want a top class park then dont hesitate in booking this one.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Everything ❤️❤️❤️
The site is clean, well looked after, but it's the staff who make it.
The toilets are spotless and a little touch of music playing in there.
The staff very kindly unhitch you and put your caravan in position for you, very helpful, especially when you've been travelling for a while.
Also a great location, central for many places.
Our 2nd year here and will be back.
