Britt Valley Campground

Britt Valley Campground is a relaxed, back-to-basics campsite set in the Britt Valley at West Bay, a couple of minutes' walk from the harbour and beach on the Dorset Jurassic Coast. The site runs alongside the River Brit just inland of West Bay, with the shingle beach, golden East Cliff and the harbour cafes all close by, and Bridport town about a 20-minute walk away. Grass pitches take tents, caravans and motorhomes on a first-come basis, and there is no electric hook-up, so the site suits campers who want a simple field and a good location rather than serviced pitches, hardstanding or glamping. Dogs are welcome. What campers tend to remember is the easy-going, look-after-each-other feel, the handy walk into West Bay and Bridport, and clean portacabin toilet and shower blocks. A few reviewers note that the push-button showers cut off quickly, and that busy summer weekends can be lively after dark. Britt Valley Campground opens for a short summer season only. Check current pitch prices and exact opening dates with the site directly, as bookings are not usually taken in advance.
