Hayling Island is flat, breezy and almost surrounded by water, with Langstone Harbour on one side, Chichester Harbour on the other and about five miles of shore facing the Solent. Kites and windsurf sails fill the sky off Beachlands on a windy afternoon. On a clear day you’ll see the low hills of the Isle of Wight behind them.
It’s a small island, so Hayling Island holiday parks are fewer than you might expect. Our listings have one Hayling Island holiday park, Mill Rythe, plus a handful more on the Chichester and Selsey side of the county border or a ferry ride away.
Here’s how they compare, who each one suits and what to do once you’ve unpacked.
Only one of these is on Hayling. Three more sit 20 to 40 minutes’ drive east in West Sussex, and three are across the water. Tap a column heading to sort the table.

Run by Away Resorts, Mill Rythe sits off the Havant Road on the quieter eastern side of the island, close to the creeks of Chichester Harbour. With 29 holiday homes on our listings, from static caravans to hot tub homes, it’s the biggest choice. Each one comes with heating, double glazing, a fitted kitchen and decking with outdoor furniture. On-site facilities include a seasonal indoor swimming pool, seasonal activities, a sports court, an adventure playground and a bar and restaurant, and up to two dogs can come along.
Check-in is from 4pm.
21 min drive | sleeps up to 10 | pet friendly | fishing
This park probably has more water than land. Ten big fishing lakes spread across 150 acres just outside Chichester, a few miles from Bognor Regis, and a newer entertainment venue adds an arcade, a bar and a heated indoor splash pool. Bring the rods.
35 min drive | sleeps up to 10 | pet friendly
Set on a mile of private beach at Selsey, Seal Bay is the full-on family resort of the group. It’s packed with activities: a lazy river and slides indoors, an outdoor lido, the Wave Rider surf machine, bowling and climbing walls in The Dockyard, plus nightly entertainment for all ages.
These parks look close on a map, but you can’t drive straight there. Head west to Portsmouth for the Wightlink car ferry to Fishbourne, which Wightlink says takes around 45 minutes, and book a sailing ahead in August. Leaving the car? The Hovertravel hovercraft crosses from Southsea to Ryde in about 10 minutes.

The shore is shingle at the top, with long stretches of sand appearing as the tide drops, and Visit Hampshire lists Funland, golf, kitesurfing and the Blue Flag beach among the local attractions. Beachlands is the busy middle bit, where the little Hayling Seaside Railway, a 2ft gauge line, runs about a mile along the front to Eastoke Corner. Windsurfing is said to have started here too, when a 12-year-old called Peter Chilvers built a board with a free sail in 1958!
Havant Borough Council’s dog control order has seasonal restrictions in the bathing area at Central Beachlands, so read the signs. Keep away from the harbour mouths, where the council warns of strong tidal flow.
The old Hayling Billy railway ran about 5 miles from Havant from 1867 until the last passenger train in November 1963. Its trackbed is now a flat, traffic-free trail down the west side of Hayling Island. It’s great for bikes and buggies, with the harbour beside you all the way.
Oysters were farmed here until the 1970s. The old lagoons are now part of the RSPB’s Langstone Harbour reserve, where terns fish in the lagoons and brent geese gather in the colder months, with two small free car parks off the A3023.
Before you cross the bridge, stop at Langstone, where the Ship Inn sits on the water’s edge in an 18th century grain store and the Royal Oak stands beside the old mill. Rain? Staunton Country Park near Havant has a farm, and Portsmouth’s waterfront is a short drive away.
Golfers should pack the clubs, because Hayling Golf Club has been voted among the top 100 courses in the UK, and Funland at Beachlands keeps the arcade crowd happy.
June and September are the sweet spots. Sam’s Sunflowers, the pick-your-own fields at Northney, are one of the best summer events, and Visit Hampshire says they open from late July in 2026.
Sharing a caravan holiday with friends cuts the cost of your accommodation a lot.
