Graston Copse Holiday Park Reviews

Short break

This is a lovely site, which is clean and tidy. Lovely walks for you and your dogs. Staff very friendly and helpful. The reasons for only 4 stars is the facilities are a far trek to get to. the second reason was we could only book for 3 nights when we only wanted to stay for two nights. Overall a lovely place.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite, however says 1 mile to Hive beach which implied it's walkable We enjoyed our stay but paid for Wi-Fi which still didn't work in the lower meadow field. Therefore, we couldn't say we had arrived until we were off site and then read about getting a reserved space sign when it was too late. Also, very nasty smells around the site - couldn't make out if it was sewage from cans/campers or local farms.

Well maintained and quiet site

Thank you for the lovely review, we are happy that you found everything well maintained and clean.

Amazing site - immaculate

What a lovely site. Extremely well looked after. Beautiful walks along the river, hidden benches in shady areas. We stayed in purple field. The pitches are huge. Near by West Bay and Hive beach. Hive beach has great cafe and restaurant. A very big shout out to Phil who looks after the site. He was great when we needed help (the mystery of the disappearing awning attachment). One star knocked off just because the toilet and shower facility were located in the static van area, which have their own bathrooms away from the touring pitches. No problem walking for a shower, but not so great in the middle of night for a wee. Toilets were very clean. Just a note. The new ANPR barrier needs attention.

Excellent camp site, staff very friendly. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly and always spotless. Reception open 9-10.30 and 3.30-5pm, Debs was very knowledgeable, small shop inside. Lovely walks into Burton Bradstock 10 mins and 25 mins walk to Hove Beach. Will definitely be back… thank you

Mixed reviewd

Mixed reviews for this site. We liked the tranquillity, the massive pitch area and the river walk into the village. It was spotless throughout. However, the facilities were in with the static vans, so quite a trek. 2 showers per male and female and 2 unisex showers, which were not enough when the site was full. We only found 1 dog bin on the site, there may have been more but we didn't find them. You would need to pick your pitch if you are a sun lover as some were in the shade a lot of the day. You have to check yourself in, with no contact with anyone, this to us seemed like they took your money and were left to fend for yourself, but that might just be us? Overall, it is a lovely quiet site with 2 pubs in the village and lots of local walks from the site. It is very sheltered. A bus stop outside the Anchor Pub goes east or west along the coast.

Thank you for your detailed review of your stay. We are pleased that you enjoyed the park and the nearby walks.

Beautiful site

We stumbled across this site after the one we were booking was full. We are so glad that we did. It is thoughtfully laid out with large flat spacious pitches that feel very private. The grounds a perfectly manicured, we wondered how they achieve this, as never saw a mower or heard a strimmer. We had a pitch backing on to the river, which was also perfectly groomed. The online booking and automated entry were a breeze. It is very dog friendly with plenty of areas to exercise them and off road paths to the coast. The site is very laid back, as long as you stick to the usual necessary rules, making it a very relaxed stay. We loved it.

Thank you so much Ruth! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, the location, the short walk to the village and beach, the generous pitches and the high park standards. We look forward to your return visit!

Loved the woodland walk

Great, well kept site. Large area in the touring field for kids to play. Lovely walks in and around the site. Site kept to a high standard. We'll come again!

Site's response

We are glad that you enjoyed the woodland walk.

What a lovely campsite, clean, well kept and so peaceful

Such a peaceful site, lovely walk around the site through a wooded area and along the river. Never heard so many birds before. Nice walk through to Burton Bradstock, and then to walk over the hills into Hive beach, Freshwater and West Bay and beyond. Will definitely be back.

Site's response

We are so glad that you found the park clean and it was peaceful for your stay.

All things matter

Ideal site, good pitches, the toilet facilities were not close to the purple touring and camping area. Dog walking area was great. Walk into village was along river and through fields. Not suitable young children or teenagers.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Our park is very suitable for children and teenagers if they like woodland walks and a calm peacful holiday.

Friendly site

Site was clean and tidy good size pitches and liked the idea that we could choose our own pitch. Staff on site were friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Site's response

We are pleased that you found our team helpful and enjoyed your stay.

Relaxing country site

Great stay over May Bank Holiday - the site was full but didn't feel crowded. Our dogs loved the on site dog field, stream and woodland walk. Good mix of campers - all quiet and friendly. Great dog friendly, natural beaches close by, hill walks and views. Friends and their dog were allowed to visit us for the day and park on site. Access through the village was tight for twin axle with parked cars and blind corners - shame no campsite signage on the turn in.

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you and your dogs enjoyed the park.

A quiet and peaceful campsite

A lovely quiet, peaceful and spacious campsite. Convenient for walking and close to the coastal path. Facilities were lovely, clean and warm. Great showers.

Site's response

Thank you for the amazing feedback on your stay. Always good to know that it was clean and quiet.

Wonderful, peaceful site

Wonderful site in a beautiful peaceful setting. A really short walk to Burton Bradstock, which is a stunning village and a little further to walk to Hive Beach. I would definitely visit again.

Site's response

We are so pleased that you would visit again.

Great location

We were very surprised by the site. At a little over £25 a night for a grass pitch with EHU, we found the pitch size much larger than many other sites with plenty of space between vans. It is very close to the river with walks all around the site. It is also only 0.8 miles walk along the river bank to Burton Bradstock and the local pubs. We were there after the schools returned, which made it very peaceful and only the weather was the real negative. The shower blocks are limited with only 3 showers in the men's and ladies (although there are also a couple of unisex bathrooms). I guess this could be a bit of a negative in the height of the season. There is no other facilities at the site such as playgrounds, cafe but this did not detract for our enjoyment. Will we return. Most certainly. Right price, great location, peaceful and check in online prior to arrival made it very easy.

Burton Bradstock

Lovely site, spacious pitches and a nice walk to the village and the beach. Highly recommended.

Site's response

Thank you for the great feedback.

Relaxed and clean site

Nice site, hidden away down a narrow lane. Well located for country walks and access to the beach. The river running along the edge of the dog walking meadow was a treat and meant that the dogs were always clean when returning from a cross country walk! Facilities are clean, hot water was plentiful. Nice relaxed atmosphere in general.

Site's response

We are pleased that you had a relaxing time.

Great first experience

This was our first touring holiday and we are so pleased to pick Graston Copse. The staff was so nice and the facilities was great also nice and clean. The spot was beautiful and quiet. We were sorry to leave.

Site's response

Thank you for the amazing feedback.

Great site

The site was in a great location, tucked away down a narrow quiet lane, we didn't see any staff for our whole stay but entry was easy and all instructions clear. Facilities were spotless and everything you needed was there. We were in Lower Meadow which was a great flat pitch and very quiet.

Site's response

Thank you for the great feedback.

Lovely campsite

Fantastic campsite with big pitches and fab dog walking spaces. Good location and clean facilities. Quiet and considerate campers. Only negative is the long walk to showers and toilets. Washing up facilities not very user friendly as very cramped.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and comments which we will pass on.

A lovely, quiet, friendly site

The site was quiet, with plenty of space for children to play without disturbing other visitors. The river and woodland walks were nice for a short stroll each day. From our pitch, it was quite a distance to the facilities, which didn't affect us but may be an issue for some visitors, especially those with younger children. Phone service was patchy (a drama for the teens) however, the on-site Wi-Fi solved the problem.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback.

Lovely area

A good location with satisfactory amenities. Friendly & helpful staff. The site wasn't overly busy but I would suspect that with only 2 showers available, there would be long queues in busy months. Also, the length of time the shower stays on needs to be longer, around 15 secs before it goes off I feel is insufficient.

Thank you for your review and feedback.
