The salt tang hits you before you see the sea — Hayling Island sits just off the Hampshire coast, wrapped in wind and the cry of gulls, with miles of shingle beach and sailing water all around.
This is a caravan and campervan site on an island that draws seaside families, birdwatchers, windsurfers and anyone chasing that proper south coast summer feeling. Hayling's known for its Blue Flag beaches and easy-going coastal vibe, and Tye puts you right in reach of both the quieter eastern shore and the livelier beachfront stretches to the south. It's the kind of place where you wake to the sound of rigging clinking in the harbour and spend afternoons poking about rock pools or watching kiteboarders carve across Chichester Harbour.
Facilities aren't specified, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm what's onsite and whether your set-up works — and do ask about dogs and campfires when you book. Expect a straightforward, no-fuss island pitch with that breezy, salty, slightly sandy-everything atmosphere that comes with proper seaside camping.
