  • Peaceful family-run site near the beaches on Hayling Island
  • A 10-minute walk from the Billy Trail; West beach 10 minutes' drive
  • Off-grid site; farm shop and pub within walking distance
Croft Lane Green Camping is a peaceful family-run campsite in a scenic Hampshire location, with pitches set up on the grazing paddocks of a stables (you'll see some horses on site, but they're kept away from the camping area; as this is a working stables, there are two sets of gates). You'll be staying in tree-lined fields with allocated pitches that have simple facilities like a water supply, two composting loos, a cold shower and a cold water sink, but this is a generally off-grid site so you'll need to mostly bring your own gear (including portable chargers and a torch). Dogs are welcome as long as they're kept under control. Croft Lane Green Camping is in a convenient location for all sorts of local amenities: there's a farm shop selling local produce from Hayling Island and the Isle of Wight half a mile away, while a small supermarket and a garage are available 10 minutes' walk down the road. A 20-minute walk across the field takes you to nearby Northney Farm tea rooms, while several local pubs are also within strolling distance. Planning to stock up for your stay? Croft Lane Green Camping is about five minutes' drive from the nearest big supermarket.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Campsite was great, lots of open space and very peaceful setting. It is a working stable and the horses are kept nearby in the opposite field. The toilet/shower are basic but very clean so we had no issues. Would definitely recommend to anymore, can’t wait to go back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly chilled atmosphere. Eco friendly toilets which were clean and well maintained with toilet paper provided. Had a fun stay. Nice to have a fire and fire pits and wood provided if needed. Would definitely come back again.

Disliked: Only dislike was you could sometimes hear the main road, but this didn't impact on sleep.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Great to hear you had a good time. And pleased you want to come back again. I think the traffic was slightly busier than usual as it was a bank holiday weekend but also pleased to hear it didn’t disturb your sleep. We have increased the number of fire pits we rent out so more people can have one.

Lovely eco-friendly facilities, very welcoming hosts, nice, clean and peaceful site…

From the manager: Thank you for the review. I think as we have a small campsite it does stay pretty quiet. We make a point of checking on the compost loos to make sure they are well stocked with loo paper and sawdust and sweeping them so they are pleasant to use
