  • 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

A peaceful, rustic farm campsite emphasizing "green" camping. Guests loved the friendly owners, scenic country setting with horses, and spacious sites. Basic but clean facilities (compost toilets, cold outdoor shower). Some found it pricey for limited amenities, but many enjoyed the quiet and location. Great for a back-to-basics escape.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely host who came to greet us and tell us where everything was, including a list of pubs/ walks etc nearby and how to get to them.
Description absolutely accurate and with no booking the next day, allowed us to stay a bit extra - very grateful for that, so thank you.

Also loved the toilets being compost, the toilet paper being the most sustainable in the UK (who gives a crap) and provided shower bits and washing up bits as they're environmentally friendly to the stream - loved the sustainability - keep it up ☺️

Had a wonderful time in a very accommodating campsite - thank you again, will be back soon!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful quiet countryside in a real farm with horses. Friendly staff.

Disliked I really wanted a warm shower. They had only cold water. Also £25 a bit dear for no services at all. No kitchen facilities, no hot shower.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Marco - thank you for staying with us. I am pleased you liked the campsite and found us friendly.

I know you said you disliked the cold water shower and wanted a warm/hot shower and if this is the case I am really surprised that you booked our campsite as it clearly states in the description there is only cold water on site. Many people in the hot weather we are having, actually find the cold shower very refreshing and sorry you did not like it

I am sorry that you felt that the campsite was poor value and once again point out that our description makes clear what is on offer. Apologies that you were not able to appreciate this before you booked and arrived at the campsite.

We love this spot.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Croft Lane Green is beautiful. The tents are only on one side so you can sit and watch the horses and the sunset with an uninterrupted view. There's plenty of space and trees to sit under.
The washing up sink and cold shower are under a gorgeous old willow tree. We stayed during a heatwave and the cold shower was extremely welcome!
Charlie and Peter are so welcoming and helpful. They gave us a sheet of tips for the island, including instructions for a lovely walk that takes you past the tearooms at Northney. They also told us how to get to the local farm shop that is in walking distance and sells all the food you could possibly need including eggs from the farm next door.
We had an absolutely lovely stay, thank you so much!

Disliked Gates where a pain but that was only as I had to keep leaving the site for family emergency

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. I can appreciate that the double gates are a nuisance if you are on your own and you had to leave the campsite and come back quite a few times.

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.
