Description

Our non-electric camping meadow is located at the side of our small Park, between the woodland copse that gives the Park its name, and the meandering River Bride. This flat meadow is popular with families and has space to spread out and let children play. You’ll be next to the off-lead dog exercising area and just a short walk from the facility block.  

 

Choosing your pitch

Our meadow is an unmarked field and guests can choose to pitch wherever they like, provided you are 3 metres from your closest neighbours. You should easily be able to pitch next to friends/family, but we cannot guarantee this when we are fully booked. 

For campervans who may vacate their pitch during the day, reserved signs are available to borrow from the Park Reception for a small refundable deposit, or you may use your own. 

If you need to be close to a facility block for accessibility reasons, please contact us the day before your arrival and we will do our best to reserve a pitch that is appropriate, depending on availability. 

 

Our meadow is suitable for: 

  • Tents 
  • Tent Box / Roof Tents
  • Small campervans 
  • Motorhomes 
  • Touring Caravans 


Our meadow is NOT suitable for: 

  • RVs 

 

You may bring small gazebos and wind breaks. 

 

What’s Included 

  • Access to water points 
  • Grass parking for 1 car 
  • Access to facility block 


The base price of the pitch includes 2 people. You can add additional guests, up to a total of 8 people and 3 dogs, as extras. All bookings must contain one adult over the age of 18. 

 

Extras

Wifi can be purchased on arrival, either online via Paypal, or via the Park Reception. Further on in the booking process you will have the option to add extras to your booking, including Highlands End Leisure Club passes, an additional car or extra flexibility cover. 

 

Facility Blocks 

There is a facility block located nearby, containing separate male and female toilet and a unisex area with baby change area and semi-accessible wet room. There are also washing up areas, a paid laundry room, ice block freezer, motorhome service point, chemical disposal point and refuse and recycling bins. 

 

Arrival & Departure 

Check In: From 1pm

You do not need to come into Reception on arrival or when you leave. We do not offer early check-ins.

About the Park

Graston Copse Holiday Park is a peaceful, welcoming retreat surrounded by woodland, meadows and farmland on the edge of the pretty village of Burton Bradstock in the beautiful Bride Valley. 

With touring and camping pitches alongside privately owned holiday homes, the Park has a relaxed, friendly feel where guests can slow down, enjoy the countryside and settle into the natural surroundings. Our welcoming team are always on hand to make your stay feel just that little bit more special.

There’s plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, with a riverside and woodland walk winding through the Park and a dedicated dog exercising meadow. Nature is at the heart of Graston Copse, and it’s a wonderful place for wildlife lovers. Keep your eyes peeled for kingfishers along the river, woodpeckers in the trees, pheasants and crows in the surrounding fields, hedgehogs around the Park and, if you're lucky, even an osprey passing overhead. 

As evening falls, the Park becomes a particularly special place to be, with owls calling from the woodland and glow worms appearing among the grass. With little light pollution and open skies above, it’s also a fantastic spot for stargazing and enjoying the simple pleasure of sitting outside beneath the night sky.

 
Following the riverside footpath, it’s just a 10-15 minute stroll into the village, where you’ll find two of the best village pubs in the area - The Three Horseshoes and The Anchor Inn. You can continue on to Hive Beach another 5-10 minutes away, where you can hire paddle boards, enjoy a spot of fishing, relax on the beach, walk the South West Coast Path or enjoy a meal or coffee at the award-winning Hive Beach Café or Seaside Boarding House.

Nearby attractions within a 15 minute drive include Vurlands Animal Farm, Litton Lakes, Modbury Farm Shop, Bride Valley Vineyard Tours, Little Bredy Walled Garden, Abbotsbury Swannery, Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Garden and West Bay Discovery Centre.

If you want to venture further, it’s not far to drive (or get the bus from Burton Bradstock) to Bridport, West Bay or Lyme Regis, all of which are characterful towns that are worth a visit. Bridport offers a thriving twice-weekly market, while Lyme Regis and West Bay have that bustling seaside feel, with fish & chip and ice cream kiosks you won’t want to walk past! 

Guests staying at Graston Copse Holiday Park are welcome to visit and use the facilities at nearby Highlands End (5 mile drive). Charges may apply.

A 10% deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 6 weeks before your arrival date. If there is less than 6 weeks before your arrival, the full balance will be required upfront. Any amendments to your holiday after the booking is completed will incur a £25 admin charge each time. 

 

All bookings are subject to our full Terms & Conditions.

    Coming from a city location, the sounds of nature, crows, owls and pheasants, the sight of a clear night sky with the multitude of stars and the close proximity to a wonderful beach and picturesque village.

    Graston Copse is one of favourite campsites, so may walks and the scenery is fabulous. The facilities are spotlessly clean and fresh. I loved my stay there

    We booked a non-electric tent pitch. The area was charming, the facilities clean, bright, and easily accessible. The night sky was stunning (helped of course by the weather) and the pitch was spacious, level, and clear. A lovely, short walk to the Anchor Inn in the village (a bit pricey but very friendly), although after a visit realised we’d been charged twice for some drinks so check your bill more carefully than I did). The site is nicely positioned to access the superb Jurassic coast.

    What an amazing campsite! The meadow field was absolutely perfect. We had a large, spacious pitch and it was just so calm and peaceful. The facilities were fantastic. The showers were always lovely and warm and we never had to queue for one. They were also immaculately clean, as were the toilets. There was always plenty of toilet roll. The dish washing facilities were also fantastic. We loved being able to store our ice packs in the freezer and the plug sockets also meant that I could blow-dry and straighten my hair!!! A real treat on a non-ehu camping holiday.

    The campsite was so tidy, quiet and all the a.enities were spotlessly clean. Hive beach is in walking distance and we enjoyed evening meal at Hive Beach cafe. We had a wonderful long weekend in the area.

    The feeling of peace & tranquility. Such a laid back friendly atmosphere from other campers. The shaded copse walk was a godsend for walking the dog out of the heat.

    Quiet, peaceful site with plenty of space. Not right on the coast but easy enough to access. Facilities and general environment very clean and cared for.
