The Travellers Rest

The Travellers Rest is a small touring, camping and holiday cottage site on Dorchester Road just outside Bridport in West Dorset. It sits off the A35 east of Bridport, within easy reach of the market town, West Bay and the Jurassic Coast, so it works as a base for the West Dorset coast and countryside. The site takes tents, touring caravans, motorhomes and small campervans, with electric hook-ups and hardstanding pitches available, plus toilets and showers on site. Dogs are welcome, and the site stays open all year, including over Christmas and the New Year, which suits off-season trips when many nearby sites close. Alongside the pitches there are four holiday cottages converted from the farm's own buildings, so a group can mix camping with indoor accommodation. It is a straightforward, practical stop rather than a resort-style park, so campers wanting pools and entertainment should look elsewhere. Long-stay caravan owners are catered for too, with on-site caravan storage offered from £400 a year. The Travellers Rest is handy for Bridport's shops, market and eating places. Nightly pitch prices are quoted through the operator, so contact the site directly by phone or email to confirm availability and current rates.
