The Barn Caravan Park

The Barn Caravan Park is a medium-sized, family-run touring site on Old Salts Farm Road at Lancing on the West Sussex coast, open to campers since 2003. Owner Joe keeps it deliberately uncrowded even in the busiest weeks, and South Lancing beach is a short walk away, with Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea both about two miles along the coast and Brighton around seven miles east. Tents, caravans and motorhomes are all welcome on grass pitches with electric hook-up, and there is a play area with a full-sized football goal, swings and a climbing tower slide for children. A toilet and shower block with baby changing, picnic tables and a reception building serving coffee and ice cream round out the site, though the licensed bar keeps shorter hours outside peak season. The Barn Caravan Park suits families and dog owners after a quiet, walkable coastal base rather than campers chasing a big activity programme or an on-site shop, since the nearest supermarket is a ten-minute walk off site. Lancing train station and buses into Brighton run within a mile of the gate. Reviewers keep praising how clean the facilities are kept and how approachable Joe is. The park runs all year, with prices quoted through its own booking system.
