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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here’s how they compare, who each one suits and what to do once you’ve unpacked.<\/p>\n

Hayling Island has a long shingle shore with wooden groynes and views across the Solent<\/p>\n

Which Hayling Island holiday parks can you book?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

All six are pet friendly. The last three are over the Solent, and their times are road estimates that don’t allow for ferry check-in.<\/p>\n

Caravan parks and holiday parks Hayling Island guests can reach<\/h2>\n

Mill Rythe Coastal Village<\/a><\/h3>\n

On the island | 7 min drive | sleeps up to 8 | hot tubs | pet friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mill Rythe is the one park in our listings on Hayling Island itself<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Check-in is from 4pm.<\/p>\n

Chichester Lakeside<\/a><\/h3>\n

21 min drive | sleeps up to 10 | pet friendly | fishing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chichester Lakeside has ten fishing lakes across 150 acres of Sussex countryside<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Seal Bay<\/a><\/h3>\n

35 min drive | sleeps up to 10 | pet friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seal Bay at Selsey sits on a mile of private beach facing the Solent<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Staying on the Isle of Wight from Hayling<\/h2>\n

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<\/a>, and book a sailing ahead in August. Leaving the car? The Hovertravel hovercraft crosses from Southsea to Ryde in about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
