About This Campsite

### Welcome to Southsea Leisure Park Southsea Leisure Park offers a mixed experience set in a scenic location. Known for its caravan facilities, which appeal to many who enjoy staying in a more relaxed and rustic setting, it provides an opportunity to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. However, it's important to note some key considerations based on visitor feedback. ### Location & Facilities While the park is beloved by some for its atmosphere and the community of visitors, it has faced criticism for its lack of maintenance and basic amenities. Guests have reported that the area feels rundown, with limited facilities like bins and essential services. There's also feedback about difficulty with navigation around the site due to a lack of foot gates, particularly hindering for those wishing to explore nearby attractions on foot. ### Important Tips for Visitors - **Be Prepared for Minimal Facilities:** Bring necessary supplies, as some amenities like shops, restaurants, and bars aren't available on-site. - **Car Considerations:** If you are driving a low-profile vehicle, exercise caution over the speed bumps to prevent damage. - **Plan Your Walks:** If you plan on exploring the local region, prepare for inconvenient access routes. ### Overall Thoughts Southsea Leisure Park can be a delightful getaway for those who appreciate the simpler pleasures of caravan life and seek a communal experience. However, prospective visitors should be prepared for the current state of the facilities. With mixed reviews leaning towards the need for improvement and repairs, it's a site that might appeal more to those who are self-sufficient and enjoy a no-frills camping adventure.

This is a fantastic spot for the perfect caravan experience unfortunately the guy who leases it of the council has let it fall into disrepair! Claiming maximum profit off the council and visitors but no output !!! There's a park which has had volunteers offer to repair it declined , the community centre is closed and there is no security ! It's a disgrace this man has been left to do this that was once a thriving park !

Had a lovely stay at one of the caravans through airbnb so feel sorry that our host is tarnished by the site. However, the site facilities are non-existent. There is only one set of bins, most of which are locked and with no recycling facilities, with these bins being the opposite end of the site from most caravans. The site seems to have shut down for any holiday makers and is just content with milking the residents. Be extremely careful with cars. Any low down cars will struggle to get over the speed bumps they have without scratching the underside on them. Could do with some extra foot gates too. We were wanting to head down the peninsula towards the marinas but there is only one exit and we had to walk all the way out of the site to turn back on ourselves despite our caravan being situated immediately beside the footpath along the side of the Fort. The place is generally run down. The only positive about the place is the availability of car parking spots next to the caravans. Will be avoiding this place on future trips to Portsmouth.

Was dire 15 years ago and now not open to the local populace. Folks who have lived on the park for years are uprooting and leaving statics to the elements. No bar or restaurant so really not a great deal to offer but rip-off prices for static homes.
