Birchwood Tourist Park is in an ideal position for exploring Dorset. Centrally located for visiting Bournemouth, Poole and The Purbeck Isle. Centrally located within Wareham Forest. Boundaries adjoining the forest give unrivalled direct access for walking, mountain biking or riding.
All the coastal areas on the Jurassic Coast, which is a World Heritage Site, are worth a visit. We are within a reasonable proximity to all from Poole to Weymouth: (Poole and Brownsea Island, Sandbanks, Arne, Shell Bay, Studland, Old Harry Rocks, Swanage, Durlston Head, Dancing Ledge, Worth Matravers & St Aldhelm's Chapel, Chapman's Pool & fossil collecting, Kimmeridge Bay, Tyneham, Worbarrow Bay on Lulworth Ranges (MOD), Fossil Forest, Lulworth Cove, St Oswalds Bay, Durdle Door, Ringstead, Osmington, Weymouth).

LEICESTERSHIRE 27 Jun 2011
Last year was our second Summer holiday at Birchwood and it was a complete contrast weather wise to the first. We were there for nearly two weeks in August and it rained most days! Despite this we made the best of it and our seven-year-old daughter made a special friend. They were in and out of each others' caravans and they are in constant touch to this day. The site is very child friendly and you can quite easily spend days on the site without getting bored. There are walks in the adjoining Wareham Forest (the 'Sika Trail') and you could try your hand at pitch and putt (small charge), tennis, volleyball or table tennis. There is a good children's play area which is centrally located. It is possible to request a pitch close to this allowing you to watch your children from a safe distance whilst allowing them a degree of freedom. There is a lovely childrens paddling pool which is fenced for safety and is well kept. There is also a sand pit. We like the sense of space on the site. Although it is big the units are well spaced and it does not feel overcrowded. Being next to the forest there is an abundance of wildlife - the rabbits are amazing to watch in the evenings! The facilities block is modern and well attended. The site is excellently located near to the riverside town of Wareham and is handy for the lovely Dorset/Purbeck beaches of Swanage, Poole, Bournemouth, etc. We can highly recommend this site for a truly relaxing family holiday.
You would be hard pressed to find fault with this site. At times the cleanliness of the facilities was a little under par but given that we stayed at the height of the season and in wet weather it is unfair to criticise staff who did make regular checks and made a valiant effort to stay on top of things. We have booked to go again this August and will meet up with my daughters friend and her family (who recently visited us in the Midlands and us them in Wales). Great friendships happen on caravan sites and this is a particularly friendly one!
