  • 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.

What customers say

Graston Copse Holiday Park earns praise for its serene vibe, top-notch facilities, and generous pitches. Reviewers love its prime location for hikes, village access, and Hive Beach. Staff are frequently commended for their friendliness. Minor gripes: toilet block distance from some spots and occasional Wi-Fi hiccups. Best for adults, as there are no kids' play areas.

Lower Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Fantastic website for campervanning! The meadow feels secluded and like you're out in the wild but all facilities a short walk through the copse! Lots of space to pitch up and for kids to run around. Proper dark skies at night - beautiful view of the stars.
Terrible WiFi and signal - good to be offline!

Disliked Mixed messages on signs and emails about whether firepits were allowed and reception staff didnt know either way but otherwise a great stay.

Lower Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked A lovely location with beautiful walks through the woodlands and fields.
The facilities were well maintained and clean.

Disliked We were dismayed on arrival that there was very little space to pitch.
Some campers had parked longways to the fence and others had taken up excessive space. Two camper vans arrived after us and had to park towards the middle of the field.
Adequate spacing is essential at all times but more so due to the current high risks of fire.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Great location, easy walking distance to the local village for pubs and public transport links etc. Good sized, level pitches - clearly numbered and marked, with EHU points conveniently located. Clean, well equiped facilities, with freshwater and grey water points also conviently located at regular intervals.

Lovely scenery, with riverside walk and enclosed dog excercise field too.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you from all of the team for the great 10 out of 10 feedback.
We are really happy that you found the pitch to be a good size and level.

Excellent site, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. We'll be back.

Liked The peace and quiet of this lovely site. We stayed three years ago and decided to have another short break. This site was our first choice. Everyone is very friendly and the facilities are spotless whatever time of day you use them as are the grounds.

Disliked The facilities are a short walking distance from the site we were on which was a slight problem when needed during the night but overall o.k.

From the manager: We are so pleased that you returned to us again and gave us a 10 out of 10.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Beautiful surrounding scenery, helpful staff, large pitches, while toilets where closed for cleaning always had unisex toilet, all toilet blocks always clean.level grass pitches

Disliked Not sure who planned this site? toilet & shower blocks are in middle of static caravans, who I'm sure have their own toilets & showers, bin area also up there, a long walk to use. Paid £10 7 dayd for WiFi starting 5pm on Saturday night cut off following Saturday morning. Signal was rubbish more time not connecting than connected

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback we are sorry that our park was not for you.

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.
