 This site is five star in every way - we would not normally go to any site that was not adult only but we made an exception in this case and how glad we were.
Toilets and showers excellent. Clean at all times.
Everyone on the site was very friendly. We were greeted and taken to our pitch on arrival. The pitch was spacious and an addition was the glorious sunshine we had all week.
Easy walk to the pub with lovely meals plus a free bottle of wine on our first visit.
The Craft Village again just a short walk with lots to see plus a small tearoom/restaurant that did breakfast and lunch.
Bus into Poole and Bournemouth just outside the gates.
Car didn't move all week.

Just returned from short break at South Lytchett. Luckily we chose a sunny week! The site is very clean and well maintained. The shower block was pristine with piped music (not quite sure about the continual piped music!). There was a small shop on site which was useful. Also the staff were very helpful and pleasant.
Its location is absolutely ideal for travelling to the many beautiful beaches and tourist attractions in the vicinity. The No. 40 bus is a godsend! In fact the entire bus service in and around the Poole area was excellent. Us lucky ones with bus passes made full use of it as was apparent every time we boarded a rather full 'grey wave' bus!
The only criticism I have, which unfortunately is out of the hands of the management, was of the continual noise from the nearby major road. It never seemed to stop, even during the night! We were in a tent and therefore the noise was more apparent! We will certainly return on another sunny week to do more site seeing in and around the Dorset coast!

Well positioned, very clean site. Took off on our bikes afew times with 4 and 7 yr olds. Defo recommend upton park and house with great cycle routes (only 20mins cycle from site).
Lots of open space for kids to play and small but well maintained play area. Walked to local pub- st peters finger- via field. Great food, small play area for kids.
From poole (again can cycle) we went to brownsea island for the day- would recommend, esp if national trust members!
Would recommend site and will be back (birds are noisy, but you have to love nature)

We visited over the May bank holiday weekend and although I suspect the site was full (or close to full) it didn't seem overcrowded. Good layout that spreads people about.
Shower block facilities were good although the shower heads don't give you much water - possibly this helps the site meet it's admirably high environmental standards.
Staff were all very helpful and the site is kept in very good order. We were very impressed with how neat and tidy everything looked.
The pub you can walk to (St Peter's Finger) offers a good choice of beers/wines and food and offers campers at this site a free bottle of wine (or a couple of pints). Worth a visit but do book on a sunny weekend.
Great location for Poole and surrounding area and I would probably return. Only slight reservation was cost - it does seem expensive compared to other sites we have stayed at in the area. That said you can see that they are re-investing to make it a great family site.

I concur with other reviewers of this site as to its facilities and its proximity to Poole.
As a disabled camper who uses both a wheelchair and a small scooter my comments are based on what I need to make the stay enjoyable. There are three toilet/shower blocks, two of which have disabled facilities, basically wet rooms with piped music and separate heaters if you get cold. A nice touch was an independent seat so that you could dry yourself, without having to sit on the shower or toilet seat. I often have to ask for one. The wash basin did not have a plug which would be useful. The room is locked with a key obtainable from reception for a refundable £5 deposit, make sure you ask for one. We were informed one was not needed as they were unlocked, only to return from Poole to find the toilet near my pitch was locked, by other users. Luckily I had just enough power in my scooter to travel all the way to the one near reception which was unlocked. Access to the toilet blocks is over gravel which in places is difficult to get through. There are quite a number of sleeping policeman on site but can be easily bypassed on the grass.
Access to the village pub can be achieved by using a good footpath on the main road. Access to the craft centre was not so easy as there is no footpath on the road outside which is quite busy I spoke to the
Staff in reception about some of my issues and they were extremely helpful and understanding Overall it was a very enjoyable visit midweek and would certainly go there again

Lovely family run site. Some extra touches such as herb garden you can help yourself to, so our friend, a chef, was delighted he could add basil to his mozzarella and tomato salad. There are hens on site so we had fresh eggs with our bacon butties in the morning.
The staff was all very friendly and polite. Taken to our spacious pitch and advised where to put the footprint to pitch to their rules. When the ball pump broke, let my husband borrow tools to fix it.
Site nice and clean, flowers, great ball area, and small kids play area. Veg prep/dish wash area is inside, and lovely and warm.
Toilets cleanest we have ever had, with music playing. Our only criticism is that they could do with some more showers. I was ok as I get up early, had the place to myself and a sing in the shower. But on the Bank Holiday Monday, when everyone was leaving/up at the same time was busy. I had just decided to have one at home, as taking the tent down is a dusty/dirty job! So it didn’t matter to me.
Only gave 9/10 for child friendliness as when you press the sink taps as soon as you let go they stop. They could do with a delay, as the kids need 2 hands to press so difficult to use.
You can hear some road noise, but it was fine. There are some beautiful places to visit round and about. Loved the way they have a document to download with things to do via bus. Pity the buses are not more regular though. Sundays, every 2 hours, so resorted to the car.
We all said would definitely return to this site.

Just returned from our first visit to this great park. The site is in a great location, being 4 miles from Poole and Wareham. The site is perfect for dog owners with a huge 'off lead' dog walk. Directly from this area is a walk to the village pub - The Peter's Finger. This is also dog friendly and serves great food. You can even get a voucher from the site for a free bottle of wine when you eat at the pub.
The site offers a good blend off tent, grass and hard standing pitches, so there should a pitch to suit everyone. There is a small but well stocked shop and the facilities are clean and of a good standard. My only concern would be how busy the facilities would be during the high season. We visited at a quiet time and had no problem at all. The site is generally very well maintained and all the staff are friendly and approachable.
I loved the site and will definitely be returning again soon.

Only stayed here for the night as we were getting the ferry from Poole early the next morning. Staff at check in were very helpful and bike to show you your pitch. Didnt use the showers etc but walked to the local pub and had a decent meal including the drinks voucher the site gives you. Looked a good site with plenty of open space. Not sure I would holiday there but will use again for a ferry overninght stio.

We were welcomed on to the site and directed to our pitch by very friendly staff. The reception/ shop was well stocked and we were able to order daily papers. Our pitch was perfect for our RV It had all the facilities and was nice and level as well as being in a nice quiet part of the park, .
The toilet blocks were spotless, the showers excellent and with background music playing. The two local pubs both served good ale and the food looked delicious, all though we did not sample any. The local craft centre was an unexpected surprise and we enjoyed coffee and giant Teacakes in the small restaurant/ cafe.
We would and indeed intend to return to this lovely park. We went at a quiet time being the 18/19th April. I would imagine it can be quite hectic and noisy if full, Children's facilities and playground were very good. I love kids but I do like to get away from them sometimes to enjoy the peace and quiet so my only recommendation would be to have the far section as a possible Adult only section.

We have just returned from a fantastic week at South Lytchett Manor. We arrived on Good Friday at around 5pm and because they were very busy we had assistance positioning our caravan rather than using our motor mover. This was great as we were in position in mins.
The site is fantastic and has all the facilities you would need for a great camping/caravanning trip. The wash rooms were immaculate and never had to wait once even over the busy bank holiday. The shop stocks everything you need to tide you over until you can get to the bigger shops and also stocks a good range of camping gear that you might need in an emergency. Site held an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday for the kids and our 2 loved it getting a good sized egg at the end of it.
Location of the site is great within easy reach of all Dorsets main attractions. The pub down the road St Peter's finger is great for food and free bottle of wine with a voucher is a bonus.
Would highly recommend this site and would definitely use again if down in Dorset. Just wish it had been a bit warmer but no rain and plenty of sun. My parents are there now and then my sister for a week so in total pitched for 3 weeks.

Easy site to find and access. Arrived to a friendly welcome and given a map to direct us to the fully serviced pitches. Our pitch was level and easy to navigate onto. The site was clean and well manicured as were the facilities. There was lots of information in the hut about the surrounding area.
Our son loved the kids play area and it was a good standard.
We picked this site for a number of reasons. Firstly, its location for the Isle of Purbeck and New Forest enabled us to visit Beaulieu Motor Museum and The Fleet Air Arm Museum on wet days. We visited Corfe Castle, Arne RSPB reserve, Studland Bay, Sand Banks, Swanage and went fossil hunting at Kimmerage bay.
Secondly, it had excellent reviews, although I'm not entirely sure why, so onto the not so good. I will add that some of my issues are beyond the site's control.
Noise! the lovely chorus of morning birdsong was accompanied by the drone of traffic on the A35 punctuated only by the scream of motor cycles caning it down to the butty van at Poole harbour.
The letting of the school floodlit all weather football court at the back of our pitch kept our young son awake until 9. 30pm 2 nights and it appears to be church bell ringing practise on a Thursday between 8-9pm all fine if you don't have small children.
The first night after showering I walked back to the van in wet trainers as the lousy spray head on the shower sprayed under the cubicle into the supposedly dry area, (lesson learned). Push buttons AAAAAAGGGGH! at a 5 STAR site come on. Amenity blocks weren't particularly warm especially as we had a bitterly cold easterly wind at the time.
I think the road noise would be less with the usual south westerly wind and a bit of foliage on the trees.
Despite my gripes this is a good site, but not a cheap site.

Enjoyed our stay here Easter monday week. As already mentioned by others the welcome is warm and informative. The park itself is tidy and clean and the facilities are very good. Found the wifi to be a bit hit and miss, sometimes it worked other times not but the signal was never strong. The tv hook up was superb with freeview channels all with very strong signals(Either take a five meter cable with you or they are available to buy on site)
My caravan Aerial worked ok too as I tried it but wasn't as strong as the site feed. I do have a minor gripe which was that when I went to shower one block was being cleaned(no problem with that) but the one I then had to use only had cold water running from hot taps-showers. Made shaving and then showering not the best. This I think could be a problem when the site is full as they were busy in the mornings with people waiting. I'd advise either going early or late to beat the rest or otherwise expect a wait or a cold shower. Not a major issue though and doesn't spoil the experience really. Every other day I got a hot shower and didn't have to wait long. Overall it is a very decent place but I personally wouldn't pay the top money that is charged during the summer holidays.

We stayed at this site over Easter and it appeared to be full. Lovely site, very clean toilet block with plenty of hot water, good hairdryers that actually dry your hair quickly (very important for us girls!) and they even have piped music.
The grounds are kept very clean and tidy and they have a quiet rule after 10. 30pm which is brilliant if you are an early riser. There is a shop on site which caters for your needs and the eggs from the chickens are sold in the shop. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always had a smile for you.
Outside the gate is the bus stop so it is very easy to get around and only a short ride into Poole for the shops and the Quay. We will definitely be coming back to this site again. It is a short walk into the village for 2 pubs and two churches and there is a lovely craft centre and cafe next door.

This was our second visit this year. This site is lovely and clean. The staff are friendly and very helpful with local information. The shower/toilets are spotless. There is a very nice pub within walking distance of the site that do very good food. We will be coming back to this site again and again. The chickens on site provide eggs that are for sale in the shop which is also stocked with all you need for your stay at very good prices.

This is 2nd visit to this site and found site well cared for.
Shower block warm and extremely clean with piped music pleasing to the ear.
Staff extremely helpful and only willing to please. Very knowledgable and will take the time to explain where local points of interest are.
Just outside local bus stop to visit Poole or Weymouth.
Just a short walk a very friendly pub. St. Peter's finger.
Rebooked for September and would highly recommend a holiday here.
