The low winter sun catches the harbour mist just down the road, and gulls wheel overhead as caravans and campervans settle into their pitches beneath the wide Sussex sky.

This is a straightforward site for tourers and motorhomes exploring the Chichester area — a proper base for couples or families who want the South Downs, coastal paths, and the city's Roman heritage all within easy reach. The harbour's tidal creeks and that famous cathedral spire aren't far, and you're well placed for West Wittering's beaches or walking the flatlands where salt marsh meets farmland. Dog owners should check ahead, as policies vary.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth ringing to confirm what's onsite before you book. Campfires need checking on arrival too — likely site-dependent or seasonal. Expect a no-frills, functional stop rather than a farm-shop-and-glamping experience, the kind of park that does what it says without fuss.

King Charles III England Coast Path: South Hayling to East Head: Avoidance of Itchenor Ferry

Skirts inland around Chichester Harbour when the Itchenor Ferry isn't running, adding extra distance through quiet lanes and field paths. Mostly flat with firm surfaces, making it manageable for older children, though the extended route isn't ideal for buggies due to stiles and narrow sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and wading birds. Offers peaceful harbour views and glimpses of sailboats, though less dramatic than the main coastal route—worth it as a practical alternative when th

East Head and Ellanore Circular Walk, Sussex East

Meanders through National Trust coastal dunes and quiet woodland paths on mostly flat terrain, with a few gentle sandy inclines near East Head's iconic spit. Perfect for families with confident walkers (5+), but sandy sections make buggies tricky. Dogs welcome year-round, though stick to marked paths to protect nesting birds March-August. The payoff: sweeping views across Chichester Harbour, miles of beach for paddling, and a real sense of wild coastline just minutes from West Wittering's bustle
