Isle of Sheppey Caravan Holidays and Holiday Parks

Sheppey is derived from the Old English word of Sceapig, which simply means Sheep Island and sheep can be found throughout the southern parts of the island but in the east and north of the Island, it is humans in holiday resorts who have run of the island.

The island is separated from the mainland via a channel called the Swale but it is simple to cross over to the Isle of Sheppey thanks to a number of road and rail bridges including the Kingsferry Bridge and the Sheppey Crossing.

The short ride across the main crossing takes you from the mainland of England to your own holiday island and whilst it takes less than a minute, it seems to take you a world away.

With small but popular holiday resorts, great views and the coast just minutes from wherever you are, it is no surprise that the island is so popular with holidaymakers and best of all there are a number of caravan holiday parks found on the Isle of Sheppey.
