Landscaped, with mature trees and seasonal bedding plants, it's a really beautiful and tranquil place to stay. Situated just 3 miles from Poole and a short drive from Bournemouth, the bus stop at the park gates gives easy access to both of these towns and the Jurassic Coastline, with a shop, seasonal bakery and cafe onsite. The village pub, St Peters Finger and Courtyard Craft centre, with Dylan’s cafe are just a short walk. Both serve good food, and are dog and child friendly. We assure you of a warm welcome from all the team!

What a fabulous place! Our first outing in our new campervan to try it out, the campsite and facilities are spotless, fresh flowers and music in the loos were a nice touch, our pitch was a good size and there's a good space between pitches for privacy, the staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't be more helpful, its also a good base for lots of places to visit, we went to Poole on the bus which stops right outside and only cost us £2 each way, plus there's lots of other places a short drive away, beaches, historical buildings allsorts, we will definitely be coming back

Friendly and very well run site. Great facilities including cafe, shop, information hut full of information sheets, puzzles etc to borrow and immaculately kept. Showers were spotless and homely with constant easy to listen to music and hair dryers for you to use. Couldn't ask for better.

Stayed here for October half term. Weather was rubbish most of the week but I was very impressed with this site. Toilets / showers weee always warm & clean. Something a lot of sites don’t have is the option to make your shower hotter or colder… you can do that here. On site shop is handy and the staff were really friendly. Pitches were nice and big and each pitch had its own eating bench. We didn’t get to use the park because it was so wet but it looked an ideal park for a younger child (under 8 I would suggest) There is a huge playing field with football goals and a table tennis setup but again due to the rain we didn’t get chance to use these facilities. Dog cleaning station was ideal as we used it to clean our very muddy bikes. Location is perfect for exploring Dorset. During our stay we caught the ferry o er to Swanage, drove to Weymouth and popped into Poole. All within an hour of the site. Gutted about the weather we had but I would love to return to this site during sunnier times.…

Another great stay in our Motorhome, great pitch grass cut & trimmed. Toilet block spotless, same staff — home from home . New improvements started on site, no inconvenience to site users. Looking forward to seeing what ever they are doing when it’s finished, I’m sure it will be of a high standard as is everything else on site.

Hello Linda, It was a delight to have you stay with us for your 9-night stay. We are glad that you found everything clean and well kept and that our facilities for our four-legged friends were great too. It's great to hear that you made the most of visiting Dorset whilst you were here. As you say, there is so much to see and do in the area, from amazing beaches through to castle ruins, not to mention the stunning Jurassic coastline. Thank you for taking the time out to review us. We look forward to your return in the future. Best wishes Emma South Lytchett Manor

This is the second time we have stayed at this campsite, (the last time was before the pandemic), and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves again. It’s such a welcoming and relaxing campsite that you cannot fail to have a wonderful time. So easy to commute to other places, exceptionally clean, a great shop and cafe and all the other food business’s that call on different days of the week makes it a fantastic place to stay. Wonderful staff who are so helpful, especially with our disabled son, and extremely warm and friendly. We would like to give a big thank you to staff member Matt, when we had trouble with our car on the journey down he found a garage that could repair it for us the next day so it didn’t interfere with our holiday. Thank you all at South Lytchett Manor. We will be back soon.…

We stayed in a glamping pod & it was excellent. Clean, comfortable and really well equipped! The kids thought it was a real adventure. Lovely site, children's play park right outside the pod, chickens and children's games on the field, friendly & helpful staff, craft and café courtyard next door, short walk to the pub, clean communal facilities... I could go on and on! We loved it & will definitely be back.

Thank you for your lovely review of our glamping pod! It's lovely to hear that the kids enjoyed our park and had fun with the games and play area. Children love collecting the chickens' eggs here! It sounds like you made the most of our local area too by walking to the craft centre and our local pub. There are lots of child-friendly things to do locally too including Farmer Palmers and of course the beaches! We look forward to your return visit! Thanks again, Emma South Lytchett Manor

Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are glad that you enjoyed your second trip here staying in one of our glamping pods. It's good also that you made use of the dog shower - it's great to be able to hose them down after an explore of the nearby countryside or beaches! We look forward to your return in 2024!

Our first visit to South Lytchett Manor and it certainly didn't disappoint! The staff were very friendly and helpful and look after the site so well, facilities were spotless and even though the site was busy we never had to wait for a shower. Nice to have a shop on site for bits and bobs, had freshly made croissants a couple of times and they were delicious. Many of the pitches have a picnic bench, so it was really nice to have some of our meals outdoors. We had a fully serviced pitch and it was fab. The bus to either Poole or Swanage stops just outside the gates and it's a pretty good service too. Can't really think of anything we didn't like tbh 🏖️😎
