At the Lake Gates roundabout, turn onto the B3078 following sign towards Wimborne Showground. At the next roundabout [Rye Corner roundabout] take the first exit onto Victoria Road B3082. Continue straight as the road first becomes St Margarets Hill and then Blandford Road. After the Queen's Elizabeth School, which will be on your left-hand side, take the second exit on the left onto Abbott Street [see signs for either Kingston Lacy Church or the brown sign for Pamphill Dairy]. Abbott Street narrows into a single-track country lane with passing areas at different intervals. The gated entrance to the site is further down this road, opposite the entrance for 'Home Farm' which will be on your left.

If you're coming from the other direction and have driven past the Kingston Lacy Estate entrance, carry on straight and take the second exit on the right onto Abbott Street [see signs for either Kingston Lacy Church or the brown sign for Pamphill Dairy]. Abbott Street narrows into a single-track country lane with passing areas at different intervals. The gated entrance to the site is further down this road, opposite the entrance for 'Home Farm' which will be on your left.

Please arrive from 2pm and before 8pm, and leave your pitch by 11am on your day of departure.

Lost property: If you leave any of your possessions behind at the campsite, please contact us as soon as possible.

We reserve the right to charge you for any storage and delivery costs that we incur in relation to your lost property. We charge a lost property charge of £10 to cover our administrative costs and standard Royal Mail delivery up to 2kgs in the UK to return your items to you. If a request to return your items deviates from these conditions, then we reserve the right to charge you any additional costs.

Where possible, we’ll hold lost property for 28 days after which it’ll be disposed of. Perishables will be disposed of immediately and are therefore unreturnable. In addition, we will only be able to return items permissible by Royal Mail.

Problem or complaint: Every reasonable care will be taken to ensure that the camping pitch, pod or bothy and also site amenities are presented to a high standard. Should you find any cause for complaint, please immediately contact one of the campsite staff, so that reasonable steps can then be taken to rectify the problem. National Trust will not normally make any refunds in respect of complaints made after the Visitor’s departure from the campsite if the Visitor did not make the problem or complaint known to staff during the Visitor’s stay. If you supplied an email address at the time of booking, a survey will be emailed to you for your comments after your stay. Alternatively, a comment form may be completed and left at the campsite reception. All complaints made after the Visitor’s departure should be made in writing by post or email to:

Small print: In addition to the site rules in this campsite guide, there are terms and conditions that apply to your booking. You can also read them on the campsite notice board.

Wimborne is two miles away, and with Bournemouth and Poole also close by, there are plenty of places to grab supplies and find pubs and restaurants.

As a guest, you have free access to the house, gardens and estate at Kingston Lacy, during opening hours. There is a short access route into the gardens, through a small gate in the corner of the campsite. This route is restricted at certain times of the year due to cattle grazing and to support conservation. When access is not available this way, you can follow the alternative route into the estate signposted on the small gate.
