The South of England

Located on Englands’ South Coast, Concierge Camping is conveniently located as a stop-off for those travelling to or from the continent via Portsmouths International ferry port.

As an outdoor-explorer, you’re spoilt for choice at Concierge Camping. We enjoy an enviable location at the foot of the South Downs National Park, and amongst a vast and varied coastline of beaches and harbours. Within quick reach of Chichester City centre, but isolated by enough to make Concierge Camping a true countryside retreat.

The Goodwood Estate

Concierge Camping is a short distance from the much-acclaimed Goodwood Estate. Ever since the 1st Duke of Richmond built Goodwood House to entertain guests while attending the fashionable Charlton Hunt, the Estate has played host to a variety of thrilling events. The estate features two golf courses, a horse-racing venue, motor circuit, restaurants, and publicly accessible footpaths across this part of the downs.

Chichester Harbour

The Chichester Harbour ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ is a coveted location for those who enjoy fresh seaside air and a relaxed low-key antidote to the bustle of other UK seaside resorts. The Harbour villages of Bosham, Emsworth and Itchenor provide picturesque opportunities to stop during your coastal explorations. While West Wittering offers some of the best golden sand beaches available on the South Coast.

Bosham Hoe

Bosham is a small village and excellent place to begin a walk around the top-end of Chichester Harbour. Grab an ice-cream on the slipway, and watch the dingys come in and out of the sailing club –  but be careful of the quick-rising harbour tides! It frequently claims the abandoned parked cars of holidaymakers!

West Wittering Beach

A blue-flag golden sand beach, West Wittering is owned partially by the National Trust, and partly by a group of local residents determined to keep this stretch of coastline unspoilt for future generations. No amusement arcades here! People come from miles around to enjoy the shallow waters for a traditional day at the beach, walks amongst the sand dunes, kite-surfing and wind-surfing.

Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve

Pagham Harbour is a glorious and peaceful nature reserve, one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast, and an internationally important wetland site for wildlife.

It’s a big, sheltered inlet that fills and empties with each tide, with wild ducks, geese and wading birds flighting to and fro. With a wealth of wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and a rich historical heritage, it is a great place to get away from it all.
