Haven or Parkdean suggestions

i only have 1 week in the summer holidays with the kids & would love to take them on a little caravan holiday. Last year we went for Challaborough Bay in Devon which was a long way -live in Hampshire & my cars getting on a bit.

kids loved it but perhaps a little closer this time. Would love some recommendations of a nice beach where the sea is clean & safe & is walkable distance. The above site it was 2 mins from our front door & gorgeous walks either way along the coast.

outdoor as well as indoor pool would be the ideal. They are both under 7. A few activities for the kids and some nice views/walks. A soft play too in case of dodgy weather. Would rather a little more rural than near a town. Was keen on Burnham on Sea Haven but have seen that the sea isn’t ok for the kids to go into. End of August it was around £550 for 4 nights in a silver caravan which seems really reasonable though.
Would love something around Dorset as that’s where I went a lot as a kid but looks a bit spenny. Budget is probably no more than £700.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you looked at the caravan park on Hayling Island?
It was park dean until a couple of years ago
(not the away resorts one, the other one; the away resorts one will be lovely im sure, but will probably be quite a lot more than the one in the middle)

Or how about the caravan park in Selsey, near Chichester?
