  • Peaceful family-run site near the beaches on Hayling Island
  • A 10-minute walk from Hayling Billy Trail; West beach 10 mins' drive
  • Off-grid dog-friendly site; farm shop and pub within walking distance
Heading to Hampshire’s Hayling Island with something simple and scenic in mind? You’ll certainly want to take a look at Croft Lane Green Camping, a quiet family-run site where the tree-lined pitches have been set up on the grazing paddocks of a working stables. Of course, you won’t actually be sharing the paddocks with the horses – you’ll see them on site but they reside away from the camping area (on arrival, you’ll note there are separate gates for the stables and the campsite). Pitches here are allocated ahead of arrival, and the area is reserved for guests (families and dogs included), allowing plenty of space for everyone to park by their pitch, spread out and set up a gazebo, awning and camping table if they like. Guests have access to simple facilities like a water supply, two composting loos, a cold shower and a cold-water sink. This is a generally off-grid site though, so you'll need to mostly bring your own gear (including portable chargers and a torch). Barbecues and firepits are welcome as long as they're raised off the ground; fireproof gear can be supplied if needed. The word ‘helpful’ crops up time and again in the reviews for this site, so do ask if you need a hand with anything. Croft Lane Green Camping has a small play area for children with two swings and a slide (plus one smaller slide for toddlers). It is in a convenient location for all sorts of local amenities: there's a farm shop selling local produce half a mile away, and a small supermarket and a garage are 10 minutes' walk down the road. A 20-minute walk across the field takes you to nearby Northney Farm tea rooms, and 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.

What customers say

Guests love the tranquil vibe, welcoming hosts, and roomy sites. The eco-friendly touches like compost toilets and a unique outdoor shower are big hits, even if the cold water is a surprise. While some find facilities basic, most enjoy the great value and location near attractions and the beach. Road noise is occasionally noted, but the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return trips.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked I had such a wonderful stay at Croft Lane. Charlie was really welcoming and helpful, showing me where everything is on the site and offering to help if needed (it was a very, very wet weekend!). She also had some great advice about local walks, sea swimming spots and places to eat. I had a peaceful time and would certainly visit again. The shower under the willow tree was especially lovely. Many thanks, Charlie!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked A spacious and quiet field, horses to the front, cows to the back.
A small play area for the little ones.
Compost toilets really not that bad (it was my first experience) plenty of toilet paper, sawdust and hand sanitizer available.
Washing up area was clean, I didn’t use the cold shower but it was pretty nestled amongst the willow tree.

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for commenting on your stay at our campsite. it is good to hear that the compost loos were better than what you were expecting - we do have reed diffusers in each of them and regularly spray with lavender and sweep and check that loo paper and saw dust are in good supply.
I agree with you that the willow tree is so pretty.

Great place, Back to the Nature!…

Friendly welcome
Have only put 8 for facilities/cleanliness only because it is what it is whilst the compost loo won’t be to everyone’s liking it was kept well stocked and clean. Despite the wind and rain we had a wonderful weekend away

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I can understand why you put an 8 for the facilities as a compost loo might be a new experience for some campers, although many do comment at how much better they are than they imagined.
so pleased that you were able to enjoy yourselves despite the weather.

Liked We love this camp site!! We’ve stayed here for a few years now and every time the owners are so helpful and accommodating. This year they offered we could pitch early and even offered to dry items if we needed it after heavy rain. We’ll be back next year! 😁👍

Liked The hosts were lovely and welcoming, let us come early because we were going to a festival and wanted to get there for lunch time. Camp site was everything we needed, lovely and clean. Thankyou

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review and so pleased that we could be helpful.
wherever possible we try to accommodate campers early or late arrival times and the same is true for late departures too.
We do make a point of ensuring the simple facilities are kept clean and tidy and well stocked.

A really restful holiday.

Local attractions

Hayling Island’s main draw is surely the beaches – and you’ll be well placed for those here. West beach (10 minutes’ drive/15 minutes’ cycle) is the most popular of the lot, with a long sandy stretch and separate areas for swimming and windsurfing. To see more of the island’s coastline, walk or cycle along the Hayling Billy Trail (10 minutes’ walk away), running along a five-mile traffic-free path, or take a train ride with the Hayling Light Railway Trust (10 minutes’ drive). Elsewhere on the island, wander around Hayling Island Nature Reserve (15 minutes' walk), meet the residents of Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary (three minutes’ drive) or go for rollercoasters and rides at Funland Amusement Park (five minutes). Back on the mainland, places like Chichester (20 minutes), Portsmouth (20 minutes) and Arundel Castle (35 minutes) are all good options for days out.
