Why stay here ...

South Thorness Farm CL is a friendly, well maintained campsite that welcomes club members to a relaxing holiday venue. Situated on the coast we are close to all the facilities that the sea can provide. Thorness Bay has a sheltered beach overlooking the Solent where sailing, windsurfing, swimming and watersports can be enjoyed. The Bay is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), with the Heritage Coastal walk between Newtown and Cowes right next to us.

Dog owners are welcomed, and they will enjoy the lovely walks in the area, including to the local pub. There is a well-stocked local shop and children's play area within walking distance. The local pub, less than a mile away, is a traditional inn, with real ales. We are ideally located for car drivers to access the Island's attractions including the historic sites of Carisbrooke Castle, Godshill old village, and Osbourne House, the hustle and bustle of Cowes and its sailing, and the charm of places such as Calbourne, Yarmouth and Freshwater.

We have beautiful views across rolling countryside to the chalk downs, with great views of sunrise and sunset from your own caravan. With easy access to the shore, fishermen can enjoy beach fishing, or if you fancy offshore fishing, trips can be taken from nearby Yarmouth.

We can advise on the ferry crossing and help with discounted tickets.

A great place to stay

South Thorness Farm
This is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The location is great with beautiful views and walks. The water, bins and waste are easy to locate and use. Adrian came out to check all was ok and spoke to us about the area and made some suggestions of places to walk and eat. Our only regret was that we were so busy visiting places and walking that we did not have the time to sit for an afternoon and relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. It's cheaper than it should be and we did tell him that!

Wonderful

South Thorness Farm
What a lovely site. It is very peaceful, beautiful surroundings. Water and electric hook up on your pitch. Great access to a dog walking area and the beach too. What more could you want. The owners were very welcoming and helpful and went above and beyond. Thank you for providing such an amazing site for all to enjoy.

What a beautiful place!

South Thorness Farm
Found a little gem and don’t want to say too much good things about them otherwise I will never get booked lol! However lovely little spot. Beautiful views and having the horses etc at the end of the field too was stunning! Ground and set up was very well looked after and the owner was super friendly and all above board! Definately coming back and thank you for a very relaxed and beautiful stay. Great price too!

This is a great site.

South Thorness Farm
We have stayed on this site many times now but never done a review, I have no idea why, probably because we're so relaxed after our visit it just doesn't come to mind. The site is clean and tidy and in loverly surroundings with good views. There is plenty of wildlife to observe, including birds, hares, badgers, foxes (although you'll have to be up early) etc. and friendly horses in the fields. Adrian, the owner, regularly cuts the grass and collects the cuttings unlike so many other sites, who don't, so you never have a grass carpet in your van or mobile. This is surely a bonus... The site is well located being minutes from the sea in Thorness Bay (through a holiday home site down the road) and within about 30 to 35 minutes of almost anywhere on the island, which is great for sightseeing and other adventures. This site is definitely worth a visit or two...

We keep on coming back

South Thorness Farm
As the title says we keep returning to this site. The owner is great, he is around when you need him, and is regularly cutting the grass and maintaining the property. The site is on the route to a caravan resort but the traffic noise is not intrusive nor does it detract from the surroundings. There is a good distance between the pitches to allow for awnings etc. There are good views as well. We will be returning for another long stay next year. I highly recommend the site.
