About the site
This family-run park is situated in 20 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, their own water and drainage, and a 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 stargazing 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. Or, opt for one of the Nomadic Bell tents, perfect for a romantic escape or a family getaway, sleeping up to four guests. Each tent has a king sized bed and two single futons, plus an electric wood burner. There is even a fridge, kettle, TV and USB chargers! Just bring your own bedding and towels. Dogs are made very welcome and the site accepts rallies. Please note campfires are not allowed.
