About

About South Lytchett Manor
South Lytchett Manor Caravanning and Camping Park is a 5 star family run Holiday Park, named AA Campsite of the Year in 2021. Situated in 25 acres of beautiful parkland and surrounded by trees, flowers and an abundance of birds and wildlife, it is the perfect place to escape and relax whilst being situated only a short distance from the bustling attractions of Bournemouth and Poole.

South Lytchett is a favourite amongst visitors and welcomes caravanstents and motorhomes. Fully serviced pitches are available, which include water, waste, electric hook up and TV connection.

 

If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, try one of South Lytchett Manor's glamping options. Choose from our handbuilt bespoke Romany Caravans, Shepherd Huts or Glamping Pods. New for 2024, we will also be adding Star-Gazing Yurts to our park. All of our glamping accommodation sleeps up to 4 guests (2 adults and 2 children aged up to 14) and some are pet-friendly too!
