Portsmouth, on Hampshire’s south coast, is best known for its naval history and the Historic Dockyard, but the wider area around it also offers a range of caravan and holiday park options.
Portsmouth’s own attractions
The Historic Dockyard (home to HMS Victory and the Mary Rose), the Spinnaker Tower, and the city’s ferry links to the Isle of Wight and France make Portsmouth a strong base for a caravan holiday with plenty to do beyond the beach.
Nearby coastal options
Hayling Island, just along the coast, offers a quieter, more beach-focused alternative to the city itself — see our guide to Hayling Island holiday lets for more.
Gateway to the Isle of Wight
Portsmouth’s ferry links make it a genuinely convenient base if you’re planning to combine a mainland caravan stay with a day trip across to the Isle of Wight.
