This is a low key, family orientated, privately owned park at the edge of the Purbeck Hills. The pitches are on two fields and most have 10amp electric hook-up with mains water taps not too far from most of them. No gazebos are allowed and it’s a dog free park. There are a few hard standing pitches most of which were occupied by seasonal caravans when we visited. It’s not what you would call a well manicured park but the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and the facilities block was cleaned to a high standard. Facilities include a play area, games room and a well stocked shop. There is a bus stop right outside the park with buses to Swanage, Poole and as far as Exeter. There is no dedicated motorhome service point. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a pitch away from the road noise.

Great to see no dogs !! All dog owners think everyone loves dogs and their dog won’t hurt anyone and is well behaved!! Been to many dog friendly sites that allow dogs on a lead but this never happens as owners think my dog is friendly!! And seen so many dogs wondering on their own !! Great idea especially when you have children!! Think more sites should do it !!
Visited in Sept. Very well run site. Great to see no dogs policy…will certainly visit again.
Our caravan is here all season we spend many weekends here and enjoy the peace of the camp site. Lovely surrondings and excellent facilities.
Love this campsite. Spend many weekends each year here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Love it
If you have no dogs caravan sites you will lose lots of campers we love to take our dogs and are responible dog owners can’t see why no dogs allowed
On sites we have adult only parks,we don’t mind children on parks even though they run riot and are not controlled like our dogs are parents just let them lose to do what they like
Use to come here as a child and will revisit on day for a trip down memory lane. My Grandparents lived on Lookout caravan park in the 80’s. Happy days!
Glad to hear site owners are running the site the way they feel is best. We have adult only sites & they seem to do well so why not have dog free campsites especially on family orientated sites.
Delighted to hear about a caravan site with “no dogs” rule, as our grand-daughter is terrified of dogs (no accountable reason) so it will go to the top of our list!
I insure with Caravan Guard and live in Dorset. I normally take my caravan to France using either ACSI or Camping Cheques. I thought that I might try the UK again to see if it had improved since the last time I used it. This site seemed ideal but NO DOGS. I expect it will be another few years before I try the UK again. Such a pity. I can understand why people from the continent are reluctant to come to the UK with the caravanning options available. Roll on next year when I return to a camping friendly country.
I am willing to answer questions.
