Campsites in Jersey

Camping in Jersey has never been easier. With the glorious Channel Island air to greet you in the morning and the size of the island meaning that the nearest beach is only a stone’s throw away, there’s a reason why Jersey is such a popular place for pitching up tents. Here is a list of the campsites in Jersey:

Rozel Camping Park

Rozel Camping Park is a fabulously family-friendly campsite, fully equipped with a games room, pool and free Wi-Fi. You can choose to pitch you own tent, park your campervan/caravan here or stay in a tent already set up just waiting for you. The beach at Rozel Bay is only a short journey away, where you will find many activities on the shoreline just waiting for you such as surfing and kayaking. You’ll find restaurants and cafés at Rozel Bay to keep you fed, and you can also nip to the local supermarket to pick up food to cook up at the campsite.

Jersey Motorhome & Caravan Rules

If you are thinking of bringing your motorhome or caravan across the Channel, there are some important rules to note before parking and setting up camp for the night. In recent years, the States have implemented laws and frequent checks on those who stay in their motorhome or vans overnight in public carparks – this is no longer allowed, and there can be a fine involved if this law is disobeyed.

Please note carpark stay and arrival rules, as well as parking rules, which differ in carparks across the island. Away from the south coast, there is usually a 12-hour parking rule, so just make sure you don’t overstay, or have somewhere to move on to.

Luckily, there are many campsites that offer a place for your motorhome or caravan so you are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding somewhere to park up on this beautiful island!
