Family fun, dog friendly & beautiful beaches at Southland
Situated on the outskirts of the small village of Newchurch in the beautiful Arreton Valley, Southland Club Campsite is a great choice for an Isle of Wight campsite. Half the island is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are over 120 attractions and places of interest for you and your family to visit including the Needles, Carisbrooke Castle and Osborne House.
With flat, level, well drained meadowland pitches, trees and shrubs punctuate the site layout, giving a peaceful feeling of privacy. The campsite boasts a large playground and play areas and is convenient for all parts of the island, and within easy reach of some of the finest beaches.
The island has an excellent bus transport system and you can catch buses from the Isle of Wight Zoo which frequently run into Sandown and Newport. Sandown and Shanklin are only 3 miles by road and both of these towns share the same sheltered bay with its sandy beaches and safe bathing, perfect for families. Newchurch village with its charming Norman church is five minutes on foot and there you will also find a country inn serving fresh, hearty food.
The garlic farm, a short distance from the site, is said to make the best coffee on the island. Slightly further afield there are loads of fun activities available including sea and freshwater fishing, golf, tennis, squash, swimming, horse riding, windsurfing, sailing and more.

Lovely Wardens and Site
