Dog-friendly holiday parks in Sussex

No place encapsulates the (sometimes!) sunny south coast like Sussex does. Sussex is a great option for a dog friendly holiday in the sun. Either way, come rain or shine, we know you’ll make memories with your furry friend that will last a lifetime.

That’s because the county is home to some of the most household names in the country when it comes to a staycation. Our parks are positioned perfectly. Church Farm is situated next to West Wittering, one of the country’s top beaches for tourism, and Combe Haven unlocks the history of the region, not to mention a fantastic spot for walking the dog!
