Are there 12-month holiday parks in Sussex?

2 of the 12 parks with holiday homes for sale in Sussex list a 12-month season. Most others open from around March to October or November. A 12-month park is still a holiday park, so the caravan cannot be your main home.

11 of the 12 parks with holiday homes for sale in Sussex say they accept dogs. Rules on how many, which breeds and where dogs can go vary, so check with the park.

When is the best time to visit Sussex?

July and August are the busiest months, with the school holidays and the warmest weather. May, June and September usually have long days and fewer visitors. Most parks are open from spring to autumn, and the year chart on this page shows how many are open each month.

How long does it take to drive to the Sussex coast from London?

Usually around an hour and a half to two and a half hours, depending on the destination. Brighton is quickest, via the M23 and A23.

Which part of Sussex should I look at?

The Manhood Peninsula has many of the parks and sandy beaches, the west coast is near Arundel and the Downs, Pevensey and Hastings are quieter, and Camber has long sandy beaches and dunes.

Can I let my static caravan in Sussex?

Some parks run letting schemes, some allow private letting with conditions, and some do not allow letting. It depends on the park, so check the park rules and pitch licence before you buy.

How much are site fees in Sussex?

Site fees vary between parks with location, facilities, season length and pitch. Each park can give you a written breakdown of its current fees and what they include.
