Graston Copse Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.4 162 reviews

Quiet park with countryside and farmland setting
Five minutes' drive from Hive Beach
Less than a mile from Burton Bradstock

It’s jolly diverse, the British countryside. Take for example the quiet Graston Copse Holiday Park near Bridport, where there’s more habitat on the doorstep than visitors can shake a stick at. You could sit in the shade in the leafiness of the park’s mature trees, amble around the surrounding farmland, take riverside or woodland walks, go to spot water voles, kingfishers and woodpeckers steps away in the Dorset countryside, or drive to the beach just five minutes away… just to get you started. There’s also the quintessential English village in the vicinity too: Burton Bradstock, with its 16th- and 17th-century thatched cottages, beach café... and the chance to spot local resident Billy Bragg (you don't get that in many quintessential English villages). The park has good basic amenities: a washing-up area, free ice block freezing facilities, chemical disposal, free showers and free hairdryers, and a tourist information point with details on what to see and do in the area.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good secluded location.
Dog exercise field, river and woodland walk really make this site.

Disliked Facilities are furthest spot from camping area.
Pitches in furthest hookup field feel a bit crampt, a couple less would make it feel a little less over crowded.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The whole site was beautifully maintained with riverside and woodland walks. The dog exercising field was perfect for giving our dog a good run. The showers and toilets were exceptionally clean. There was a nice friendly feel about the site, and the village, with its two pubs, was easily accessed via an off road footpath, and Hive beach is well worth a visit, easily walkable from the village. Wish we had stayed longer and had time to travel on the coaster bus which stops in the village.

Disliked Nothing

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, peaceful and very well maintained, clean showers etc. would definitely recommend, helpful staff, easy check in and good size pitches. Easy woodland walk around the campsite for the dogs, lovely walk to the nearest village, we had a fabulous stay and will visit again. It’s a shame the cost of parking is so high at all the local beaches but that’s not the campsites fault.

From the manager: We are so pleased that you would recommend us to friends, thak you for the 10 out of 10.

Local attractions

Marketeers should make a mosey around Bridport their first stop – there’s been a market in the town since Queen Elizabeth (the first one) graciously granted permission. The Bridport Museum is also worth a stop, and, as shopping and sightseeing are thirsty work, a visit to sample the ale at the 18th-century Palmers Brewery is highly recommended. Bridport’s a gateway town for the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast, with enough to do to keep the whole family busy for weeks – fossil hunting, crabbing, boat tours, sea fishing and watersports are all around to try, or you could see the country from above and below with a spot of paragliding or scuba diving. Beachwise, there’s bags of choice within a short journey of Graston Copse: the small pebbly beach at Hive is a National Trust site; drop in while here to sample the seafood at the acclaimed Hive Beach Café. The village of Burton Bradstock is tucked at the westerly end of 18-mile Chesil Beach, one of three major shingle structures in Britain (it’s said that smugglers in years gone by could tell exactly where they were on the beach even in the dead of night, just by the feel of the shingle). For west Dorset attractions, go to meet the inhabitants at Abbotsbury Swannery: there are over 600 hungry beaks to hand-feed here, as well as a kids' farm and award-winning gardens to look around.
