About Ernie's Plot

Ernie's Plot is a tiny, adults-only site tucked near Bridport with just a handful of fully-serviced hardstanding pitches, each blessed with lovely views and a picnic table. The spotless facilities—hot showers, clean loos, proper washing-up area—feel unexpectedly polished for somewhere so small, and the friendly owners greet arrivals with complimentary cake and tea, setting a relaxed, welcoming tone from the outset.

It's a walkers' paradise, with good access to local trails, the coast, and Bridport's shops and farmers' market all nearby. Pitches start around £23 a night, and while the site can feel a little basic in places, the generous plots, peaceful atmosphere, and convenient location make it a solid, no-fuss base for exploring Dorset with your dog in tow.

We have stayed in Dorset before with our caravan but so happy we found this site. Beautifully maintained, very generous pitches, wonderful views from every pitch there, not overlooked. Added bonus of a dog wash with warm water so they can have a clean off after walks. Lovely clean shower rooms and a visitor room with fresh goodies and loads infomation. Nice touch with a cake and fresh cream when you arrive. Situated close to Bridport centre and many beautiful walks. Nicola and her 2 dogs see to her smallholding situated near the site each day and she is very friendly without being intrusive, thanks Nicola for a great stay and see you again July next year.

Stayed here end September. A lovely small site spotless and owners are welcoming. Great place for visiting the Jurassic Coast as on A35. Some road noise but site itself more than compensates as plot space is generous and looks over field with sheep chickens and lovely view. Short walk to village Pub. We have booked to got again in 2026

I stayed here for 2 nights starting Christmas eve. As a solo female with a campervan, safety is always a consideration. Ernies Plot is a small site with wonderful views. The pitches are a good size and the facilities are great. I particularly enjoyed the cake on arrival. The views are lovely and the locals friendly, apart from the ducks who seemed to laugh in unison as I walked by. 🤣. I felt very safe here and had no concerns wandering out for a walk to the local pub and beyond. There's a little bit of traffic noise but that never bothers me. Great stay, lovely to meet you both, I'll be back.
