A beginner's guide to Bunn Leisure Holiday Park 2021 (West Sands, White Horse and Green Lawns)

Bunn Leisure is a huge holiday resort which comprises three adjacent caravan holiday parks in Selsey on the Sussex coast (Bunn Leisure Green Lawns, Bunn Leisure White Horse and Bunn Leisure West Sands) as well as a touring site for people who want to camp or bring their own caravan (Bunn Leisure Warner Farm)

It is probably simpler to see Bunn Leisure as one holiday park with different villages, as you can use all the facilities regardless of where you stay.

But is a holiday at Bunn Leisure any good? And which is the best of the three caravan parks for a family holiday?

If you just want the summary, we think that Bunn Leisure West Sands is the best option for a family holiday as it is nearest to the beach, restaurants and swimming pool. It also has the best choice of accommodation. However, Bunn Leisure Green Lawns is good for adults and couples who want a quieter holiday park and don't mind a 20-30 minute walk or a short bus ride to the beach.

For our full comparison, we’ve looked at prices, facilities and reviews at Bunn Leisure Green Lawns, Bunn Leisure White Horse and Bunn Leisure West Sands

Reviews are practically identical, so the only real decision is whether you want to be near to the beach, indoor swimming pool and other attractions or if you’d rather be further away in a quieter part of the park.

Personally, I’d prefer to be near the beach, swimming pools and restaurants so I would go for Bunn Leisure West Sands. If you're travelling as a couple or if you're a family who wants a bit of peace and quiet and doesn't mind a 20-30 minute walk to the beach then I'd go for Bunn Leisure White Horse or Bunn Leisure Green Lawns.
