Camping holidays at Golden Cap Holiday Park

Probably one of the best campsites in Dorset, Golden Cap is located right on the beach in the hidden gem that is the village of Seatown on the Jurassic Coast. The camping field, called Red Hill View, is situated just 300 metres from the beach and has beautiful views of the surrounding hillsides and 2,000 acres of National Trust Land. This is a great location for stargazing, due to the park’s position in the valley of the River Winniford. All of the grass pitches are spacious (7.5 metres or 24.6 feet) and include electric hook-up. There is an additional camping field, called Big Berries, which has 150+ non-electric pitches that are available during the 6 week summer holidays. As well as the beach being within walking distance, there are 3 village pubs and on the park there is a SPAR convenience store, a picnic area, a children’s play area and a fishing lake.

Camping holidays at Graston Copse Holiday Park

If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful campsite in Dorset, to get away from it all, then Graston Copse is perfect for you. Located in the Bride Valley and surrounded by rivers, woodland, countryside and farmland, the park is a haven for nature lovers, couples and families. While in a secluded and relaxing location, the park is just a 15 minute riverside walk away from the pretty village of Burton Bradstock with its family and dog friendly pubs, and a further 15 minutes from Hive Beach, one of our favourite beaches on the Jurassic Coast.

Graston Copse has spacious grass pitches with or without electric hook-up. There is a riverside walk, a woodland walk, a small park reception and a small toilet and shower block with free hot showers, a freezer for ice blocks, a laundry room, washing up sinks and free hairdryers. With very little light pollution, Graston is a superb location for stargazing and due to its focus on nature and the environment is a winner of the David Bellamy Conservation Gold Award, with bug hotels, bird boxes and bee hives on the park.
