 Would like to add my thanks to the staff and fellow campers that added to our holiday. We did a three day trial run as 'newbie' campers. The clean, close washing facilities in the camp site where excellent.
We had no problems with the electrical hookup and the staff showed us to our pitch in the pouring rain. We found the staff relaxed and open in a way you can be when you know you run a tight ship.
We found the Knoll Beach (National Trust) was perfect for our family needs, with parking backing up to the beach, a cafe and a shop.
The most compelling thing to say about it was that we booked in for a week in August before we left.

Just returned from a weeks stay at this site. As all the other reviews state the site is spotless and the staff very friendly and helpful.
They do try to allow you as much privacy as possible, even in the open field, by telling you which way to pitch so strangers don't face you but I found this a little annoying. I think you should be able to pitch in whatever direction you want. We were told to pitch facing into the wind which unfortunately, as you will read, was not a good idea.
There is a little park there, for quite young children, but all our children would end up there in the evenings to meet their friends and then go off exploring the site. Its a very safe site and the staff keep an eye on the children wandering around even though its not their responsibility.
The shop was well stocked and there is a huge Tescos a couple of miles up the road. We didn't get chance to explore the area as much as we would have liked as the weather was so bad so didn't see any of the beaches except for swanage which is a lovely old fashioned seaside resort and just a few miles away.
It was a good stay and would definitely go back it was just unfortunate that we experienced the worst weather I have ever had whilst camping and I have been camping for over 30 years!
We were pitched in the large field with no cover from wind and facing into the wind and unfortunately our tent poles snapped during the night resulting in an early departure.

Cannot really add much more to what has been said! Faultless apart from the weather!
Very helpful even when we had a struggle with our tent as one of the metal connectors snapped, however a fellow camper was even more helpful with a 'copper tube' which made a brilliant stopgap repair to get us over our stay!
The local pub was very nice with its wine (from voucher) and lovely food.
Very clean and very efficient site!
The site is located very well for visiting many attractions, we managed Corfe Castle, Swanage and Bournemouth but if better weather we would have managed many more.

This is the first time we have visited this campsite and the staff were so helpful when I made the booking it gave me a very good first impression. I am glad to say that we were not disappointed on arrival. There is a lovely entrance and a very friendly welcome from the staff who directed us where we needed to go and gave us all the useful information we needed.
The pitches were very spacious and set up in an orderly way so there could be no problem with encroaching on others.
The toilet block and facilities including washing etc were better than most we have ever experienced in this country. Very well maintained and cleaned regularly. Added extras there for your use as well, wash up bowls cloths etc.
Weatherwise this was one of the worst weeks we have had and unfortunately the large field does not have the protection from the wind and we had to leave a day early but who expects gale force gusts in June!
Will definitely re-use this site when we visit this area again. Would recommend to all.

Perfect site clean well kept perfect showers hard to fault it. Been several times before only fault is that it can be too busy in peak times. Good pitches are near the play area but can be too much if you don't have children. Rear fields only open in the main season but give good size pitches. Grass kept short and tidy plenty of water stands. Good for dogs nice walks within the site. Pub walking distance coffee shop and small shops 200 yards away and don't have to cross a road. Well stocked site shop. You can spend a day on site and not be bored

This is a fairly big site, attractively laid out and well looked after, with plenty of space between pitches, good, clean showers and a decent dog exercise area. We were offered a fully serviced pitch for our three nights, but we declined this time, favouring a grass pitch but we might do this in future as a picnic table was included which saves messing about with the caravan table. The staff/owners were very friendly and helpful and it's a fairly short, safe walk to the local pub. Poole is just a few miles away and beautiful, dog friendly Branksome Chine just a little further. Lulworth Cove was about 14 miles away. We would definitely come back although I think the trees might shade some of the site a fair bit in the low seasons.

We visited this site for two nights in May 2012.
The reason we chose this site was it's proximity to Poole and the favouring reviews from other members.
We were not disappointed.
The on line booking procedure was very easy. The welcome and introduction to the site by the staff on arrival was warm and efficient.
The site is very well looked after and the shower and toilet facilities are probably the best we have experienced.
We will certainly use this site again if we are in the area and can thoroughly recommend this site to any prospective users.

We visited this site for a 6 night stay in mid May as a last minute decision to try a non club site and my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. First contact was really friendly and helpful and on arrival was equally so. We didn't like the pitch we were allocated as it was beneath a big tree but it was no trouble at all to sort us out with one that we were happy with. We settled in and explored the site (As one does) and were amazed at the level of thoughtfulness that had gone into it, nice little details like softened hot water, hand and body lotion and piped music to the spotlessly clean amenity blocks, there was even a microwave oven provided in the Information Centre. The site is really well maintained with generous sized pitches, many with their own water supply, bins and picnic tables. I could go on an on but the best way to experience it is to visit, we certainly will again. Great place to stay, our thanks to all the staff.

Nice welcome on arrival and very attentive staff.
Very good hardstanding pitch with water, electric and TV connection. Lovely site, very clean & tidy facilities including well stocked shop, games room, information room and for families a playground. Staff were continually maintaining the grounds to a very high standard.
Bus stop right outside gate to Poole or Swanage and beyond. Good pub a ten minute walk in village, free voucher redeemable for drinks with a main meal which was very good and reasonably priced.
Well worth another visit

This is our 3rd visit although first in our motorhome. The welcome that you receive is second to none. You actually feel like family. The shop is very well stocked, we always look forward to the fresh eggs.
As the buses stop right outside the gate we have no need to take the motorhome out. The pitches are an excellent size, and the whole site is so clean and tidy.
The showers, toilets, and wash up areas were always spotless. We will be returning again in August and have already recommended to several friends.

South Lytchett Manor have the best super pitches we have ever had the fortune to stay in, everything you need including picnic table and personal bin emptied for you on a very regular basis,
The shower block and amenities are modern, comfortable and spotless, a credit to the staff.
Talking of staff, they are the friendliest most helpful set of people you could come across, nothing too much trouble and always with so much cheer.
A well stocked shop, plenty of local information and a great pub within walking distance
The dog field is super, regularly mown and a bench to rest on if needed.
It is so obvious that a great deal of thought and attention has gone into the running of this site, nothing seems to be too much trouble

Liked this site and also the surrounding area. Friendly staff and toilets clean. Pitches have plenty of room and some have picnic benches. Never any queues for the toilets. Can't say about the showers as we don't use the showers on sites. The local pub, which you walk through the dog walkers field to get to, does nice food and if you go for dinner, you get a starter, main and pudding for a tenner. Saturday evening was rammed though so be warned.
Areas to visit are Durdle Door at Lulworth Cove. What a beautiful place. You'll think you're lost as you have to drive through a campsite but if you reach here you're going in the right direction. We also got the ferry to Brownsea Island. You pay to get on the island as it's National Trust, but some of the island is ran by Dorset Wildlife Trust so you have to pay again. We did, and we found the friendliest robin ever by the old villa, who ate out of our hands. How lovely! We also saw the infamous red squirrel.
If you want a lovely beach go to Sandbanks. We went there to get the ferry to the island as didn't want to get it from Poole as thought it was horrible there. Sandbanks is a lovely stretch of white beach and is a bit of 'snobsville' but it was lovely. All in all plenty of lovely places to visit in Dorset and a lovely site. Will definitely return at some point.

This is one impressive site, entering through the grand front gates you get the impression of a large, immaculately maintained caravan & camping park.
Reception is well laid out and stocked with everything you might need from your daily paper which needs to be ordered(at no extra charge), to groceries, eggs from their own chickens and a range of beers and wines etc. The reception staff were very helpful with site maps, nothing too much trouble.
Opposite was a large information room with all the attractions in the area shown. A mention here about the bus stop situated right outside the front gates which, for us being motorhomers, was very convenient with trips to swanage and poole among others.
We were directed to our pitch which had it's own water tap and aerial booster socket and your own picnic table, also the pitch itself is larger than most.
The St. Peters finger pub is just a short walk away and served good food at reasonable prices with a voucher from the site for a free bottle of wine with every two main meals purchased, can't be bad.
The facilities blocks were very up to date and very clean. All in all a very good site, which we will return to.

Have just returned from a fantastic Easter weekend at South Lytchett.
The wardens are all very friendly and helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. There is an excellent cabin housing plenty of local information and again any questions were happily and knowledgeably answered by the staff in the shop.
We visited Tynham, Corfe castle and the local country park just down the road in Upton. All well worth a visit. In fact, whilst browsing the info on site, we were so spoilt for choices of places to visit with the dog we booked a return visit in the summer!
Despite the site being busy over the bank holiday we found it to be very peaceful and relaxed, didn't notice any road noise despite initial reservations about it's proximity.
The facilities are easily the most well kept of any site we have ever visited, spotless showers and toilets and regularly emptied dustbins. Loved the dog field, what a bonus for us, and our friends who have a puppy, to have somewhere to let the dogs off lead on site.
Can't rate this site highly enough.

Have just returned from a wonderful Easter stay. We stayed on the laurels and whilst the pitches aren't the cheapest they are probably the best we have ever stayed on. The whole site is immaculate, the staff the friendliest we have ever encountered.
The toilets and showers were very clean and we never had to wait at the times we chose to go.
I personally like the gravel as it slows the cars down and also means the kids on bikes/walking can hear the cars coming.
The girls only gripe was the playground wasn't great and not much bigger than we have at home but that wouldn't stop us going back.
On a final note the campsite organised an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday and a raffle. They raised over 200 pounds for the local children's hospice which they also give all proceeds of the chicken food too. The kids loved the Easter egg hunt, it was excellent and we felt that they were very generous with the prizes.
