Glamping

The Oven is a large, grassy family site in the middle of Hayling Island, close to Mengham and West Town and about a 20-minute walk from the main beach and fairground. There are around 280 plots, with a dedicated tent field, touring and campervan pitches, a handful of hardstandings and one fully equipped bell tent. Electric is an optional extra on any pitch.

On site you get a shop, a cafe, a play area, football field, games room and a warm outdoor pool open from May to September. In school holidays and bank holidays there is a children's entertainer and disco. It is run as a family site: under-18s need an adult, teenage groups are turned away and fires are not allowed anywhere. Open March to October.
