About South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park

A family-run park, South Lytchett Manor is situated in 25 acres of beautiful parkland in a lovely village called Lytchett Minster, just three miles from Poole and 20 minutes drive from Bournemouth. Touring pitches are spacious and will accommodate the largest of units. Many are fully serviced with electric hook-ups, own water and drainage, and picnic bench. For campers, there's a tent-only field, or very large tents can be pitched on super pitches with electric and TV hook-up. For something a little different, try one of the glamping units, including Romany caravans, shepherd's huts, glamping pods and star-gazing yurts. They are all bespoke and hand-built by the team on site. Each sleeps four, with a lovely comfortable double bed and two singles. You'll also find cooking facilities and a TV/DVD player. Dogs are made very welcome and the site accepts rallies.

Open from 1 March to 2 January

There is a children's adventure playground for sunnier days on-site. Guests have plenty of space for football and games and there is a wood and pond area where accompanied children love to explore. The site organises seasonal children's treasure hunts to keep little ones active too.

Visit the new onsite cafe and bakery in the morning for some delicious freshly baked goods - don't forget to grab your artisan coffee and a slice of thick homemade cake...you might even find Dave making his famous bacon sandwiches once in a while!
