 Great site, a little expensive but well worth it.
Everything you need and plenty of clean facilities.
Small shop/coffee shop, bar( with happy hour ) and different food options for each day of the week supplied either from outsite food vans or the on site pizza van.
Bus stop right outside the gate for buses to Poole or Swanage every hour

We stayed here at the end of August 2025 and had an absolutely fantastic experience.
Beautifully maintained site with helpful staff available at all times. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Ample toilet and showering facilities.
I had paid for a large tent pitch with electric point but my cable didn’t quite reach. The site lent me a cable for the duration of my stay.
Fantastic service!
While we were here, there was a mobile bar every evening and a food van selling different cooked food selections each day, and every morning a breakfast van selling bacon and egg baps!
With Bournemouth and Poole close by, this really is a wonderful site. Without doubt, one of the best.
The only downside of our stay was the site’s proximity to the A35 dual carriageway, which could be heard throughout the night, but that’s totally beyond the control of the site and in my opinion, the proximity to Poole and Bournemouth more than make up for this.
We would however have no qualms about returning to this site in the future. Superb!

If your looking for a 5* caravan and camping holiday in Dorset look no further than South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park.
It caters for caravans, motorhomes and if your looking for the outside experience they have Shepherd huts, Rommany Caravans, Glamping Pods, Bell tents and the amazing star yuts which are all well equipped.
When arriving you are welcomed by warm and friendly staff who are always on hand if you need them. There is a lovely Coffee shop that sells their own baked pastries, cakes etc.
The pitches are large and even.
There is a laundry room on site so if you need to do some washing. The shower and toilet blocks are exceptionally clean with fresh flowers and music playing, they are cleaned through the day.
If your into sightseeing there is a information hut that has everything you need, if you're interested in walking there are trails to follow, there is a bus stop outside the gates if you don't want to drive.
If you're interested in reading there is a old red telephone box which is turned into a library where you can swap books or pay a small price which goes to a local children's hospice. If your into cycling and don't want to bring your bike with you they have them to hire on site.
Dogs are allowed and there is a large dog field for them to run around with a dog shower to use if needed. Evening time there are visiting food wagons which sell fish and chips, curries, pizza and pancakes so if you don't want to cook one night, two pubs a short distance walks also available. Everything about this site is 5* and shows how much hard work the owners and staff work to keep it to these standards.
Going to South Lytchett will give you a holiday to remember and once been you will visit year after year.
I would recommend this site to all ages.

We had a great stay at Lychett Maanor
Check in was easy and very friendly.
We were given an upgraded pitch which was great but we were under trees and shaded from the sun. Noticing a sunnier pitch we asked if it was possible to move.
“Of course” was the reply and we enjoyed a sunny (for a change) three days.
Another bonus was the bus stops just outside the gate to Poole or Swanage.
Small shop for essentials and hot coffee.
Facilities were spotless.

First time staying in a shepherds hut.
Really comfortable with the benefit of heating, 2 ring burner, fridge and colour TV (hardly roughing it!)
The site is spotless with all amenities including family bathroom, shop and cafe.
A different snack van visits every day so we had fish and chips and a Thai curry!
Will certainly return, maybe with our own van

We booked a 2 night stay in a Gypsy Caravan with our 6 year old Grandson & we weren’t disappointed!
On first impressions the site was just great, there’s a mix of accommodation, we’re going to a Yurt 🛖 next time. Staff are extremely helpful & friendly.
There’s a cafe on site that serves delicious pastries, a well stocked shop for all those essentials, they have mobile food vans come on site, Tuesday & Thursday is fish & chips & they’re delicious 😋.
Toilet & shower blocks are absolutely spotless with the added bonus of music playing which I think is a lovely touch 😊
Our Grandson said it was the best holiday he’d had & begged to go back again 😂
The site is peaceful, well kept, well thought out & great for all ages. Keep up the excellent work!

Booked this trip in January for August for initially two of us and two dogs, in June my Son and his partner asked if they could come along as they weren't having a summer holiday.
To me on other sites we go on you pay for your pitch, with this site you pay for people as they charged us extra for the two adults, extra for the car extra for the awning? why? extra for the dogs.
Well looked after site with lots of staff. We were right at the end right next to the toilet block/showers. ( I'd requested a quiet spot on my initial booking)These were cleaned daily.
Off the lead dog walk and a on the lead one too. Large block in the middle with showers toilets, washing up etc. A large shop and cafe open till 10pm I think? They have different food vans on the site nightly, We cooked our own.
Off site there's loads to see, Upton country park is not far and there's a great chip shop in Upton. We went to Wareham, Corfe castle, Durdle's door, Lulworth cove, Poole harbour and Studland.
The New forest is around a 40 minute drive away, we had a great walk in the shade of the trees on a really hot day. The Bakers arms is around a 5 minute drive away good food and drink.
There is a pub closer but the car park was empty and the menu didn't look appetising?
Overall great site but I feel with all the extra charges not great value!
If we return to Dorset we'll probably give it a miss.

Such a friendly and well managed site.
Every thing was so clean and tidy.
Beautiful fresh flowers in the ladies shower black.
A very well stocked shop, open early until late.
We would definitely recommend this camp site to friends and family, we had an amazing time.
Thank you so very much

Very clean toilets /showers. Liked that you could get fresh bread and other food as well and that you could get different cooked food on and evening.
Good bus service from site entrance.
Disliked vehicles running through site from 6. 30am or before we think 7. 00am is early enough.

We like South Lychett, which is why we come back. It is a friendly site, how and why we cannot say, the staff and the campers both. Other similar sites just don't achieve it.
There have been improvements since we last stayed. There are permanently sited, portable, toilets in what I call the camping fields. Very impressive inside. Best of all the ducks are back.
You can visit many places, Swanage, Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne, Studland, etc.
Recommend the boat trip to Swanage, seeing Cliffs and Old Harry Rocks from the sea amazing.

Had a great night here whilst we attended a local music festival.
The whole place was immaculate with lots of green areas to enjoy.
We didn't use the showers, but the small toilet block close to us was very clean.
A small shop and cafe provided us with great bacon rolls the following morning.
Booking and welcome were both incredibly smooth.

A site of two halves. We arrived having booked 4 nights and were allocated pitch 28 which was lovely and quiet, the ducks stopped by every day, nobody opposite us and a fairly sunny pitch so we decided to extend our stay by another few nights.
However, we couldn't keep the same pitch as we were told someone had already booked it and they couldn't move them as they were staying for 7 nights and had picked that particular pitch. So we moved to pitch 88. The most noisy and sunless pitch on the whole site.
It was opposite the toilet block so could hear hand driers going off well past midnight, traffic noise was much worse, kids running through the pitch, we were under a huge tree which blocked the sun for the whole day as well as depositing cones and leaves constantly on the van.
If we'd known how bad it was going to be we wouldn't have stayed a further two nights, it might have been helpful if staff had warned us about the lack of sun on that pitch.
On a positive, very cheery staff, coffee shop on site, visiting food vendors and area great for cycling.

We stayed for one night. Early ferry from Poole docks.
Very easy drive to dock Arrived on site 17.00 left 8.00 £2.63 for every hour on site I think this is very expensive.
A voucher was issued for a free bottle of wine at the local restaurant we did not use this

Should have stayed 3 nights but came home after 2 as honestly thought it a very an average site with the basics being clean and facilities clean, but I expect that as a minimum.
No view to talk of even in a deluxe pitch which was big, but facing into another MH and nothing to view in or around site.
It looked tired in certain areas and whilst facilities clean, they are the basic minimum for what you are paying.
Local pub food good but pricey but good and you pay for what you get.
Cycle into Poole and beyond really good as this area really caters for cyclists, but the site was a let down overall.
