What our guests have to say

What more can you ask for!

It’s a great campsite with lots for the children to do. Lovely park, pool and a nice secure paddock for the dog to play in. Showers and toilets were clean and tidy. What more can you ask for! A cracking little street food burger van came on the Tuesday and served homemade and superb tasting food.

A hidden gem!

What a hidden gem! Just outside Wimborne which is a walkable distance. The site is well maintained & has all the facilities you need, as well as an open air heated pool from June. Great for just a weekend or longer.

Great campsite!

Enjoyable stay at this campsite. The WiFi is handy & quick. Hook up and hard standing pitches if you need them which is good. Showers and toilet block were decent. Staff were very friendly. Didn’t get to use the pool but a great added bonus I would imagine!

Lovely campsite. Extremely friendly welcoming staff. The best site we have visited for children’s play areas. Play park, table tennis, football pitch, volley ball pitch, basketball, tennis court, BMX area and the most fab swimming pool area. Well positioned site to visit local attractions.

A lovely site

A lovely site with lots of pitches, and very nice facilities! The reception team are lovely and helpful. The outdoor pool was quite chilly, but we did pick a chilly weekend to stay! We took advantage of booking when there was a special offer, although would be happy to pay full price to stay again!

Check-in is from 12 NOON on the day of arrival, and check-out is at 11AM on the day of departure.

When does the outdoor swimming pool open?

The outdoor pools across all our parks open from Saturday 25th May 2024 and their opening is subject to park specific opening times and is weather dependent.

We have outdoor swimming pools at Shorefield Country Park, Oakdene Forest Park and Wilksworth Caravan Park. To check specific opening times for a particular park, please give the park's reception a call.

At Shorefield Country Park, we allow entry to 15 people every 15 minutes for a 1 hour swim session. The last hour swim session is 4:45 – 5:45, with last entry at 5:00pm for a 45 minute session.

Please make sure that you have park passes or individual QR codes ready to be shown on entry.

What is included in the pitch price?

At Shorefield Holidays we have a simplified pricing structure for touring and camping. Pitch price includes up to six people; one car; one tent, caravan or motorhome with awning and all the leisure and entertainment facilities at any of our parks. There are additional charges for pets, extra cars, pup tents and gazebos. We do not charge extra for the unlimited hot water in the showers.

Please note that we do not allow more than one tent or tourer on each pitch. You will need to book one pitch for each tent, caravan or motorhome.

What is “electric hook-up”?

An electric hook-up allows access to electricity on a serviced pitch. It is a specialist unit available from most reputable camping and caravan outlets for around £50 – £70 and is not a standard domestic extension lead.
