The paths provide a walking or cycling route through the forest into Wareham town or it is a 3 mile drive along the Bere Road. The park has a range of different pitch types including block-paved hard-standings with gravel areas for awnings, grass pitches, and some gravel pitches.

Pitches suitable for your own tent, caravan, motorhome, campervan, or trailer tent. Pitch sizes vary, but generally 7m or 8m by 5m, with some larger 10m pitches, please enquire if you have a larger unit to check availability Well behaved dogs are admitted if kept on a short lead on the park and a dog wash station for after a forest walk.
