Beautiful
Instantly on arrival we just knew this site was something special. Away from main roads, close to a village with a local pub. And when driving through looking for a pitch we just knew we were in for a great stay. It is split into sections which are separated by the most neat looking hedging. Trees and plants all around. We had no problem choosing a pitch as there were many that were excellent. The grass pitches are the best we've seen and everything around was so neat and tidy. The wardens here obviously do a magnificent job. Good dog walk with fabulous views. Lots of rabbits in the fields and horses in the paddocks. Our first visit to Isle of Wight and we will definitely return. It is easy to get around and doesn't take long to get to anywhere, and there is lots to see! Good local pubs are The Pointers in the village and The Fighting Cocks on the main road. Further afield we enjoyed lunch right on the seafront in Ventnor at The Spyglass Inn. Osbourne house worth a visit. So much to do and places to see. A great holiday!
Superb stay
What a joy to find a well maintained, spotlessly clean and quiet site. Lovely helpful staff, plenty of help and advice provided. First visit to IOW and would return to this site definitely. Recommended to friends already. Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Deserves its 5* rating and a bargain for the site fees, we've paid double for 1/2 as much in the past at other sites.
One of the best UK sites
This is a lovely well kept site which on the grassy pitches has rather unique yew and other hedges that give both shelter and break up the area to give a garden like feel. Admittedly we had fantastic weather and were able to relax outside for much of the time. The grass pitches in particular are very spacious and the whole site is peaceful being set in countryside on the edge of the very quiet village of Newchurch. Within minutes you can reach the Red Squirrel cycle trail and also the Round the Island trail. Using local lanes and trails we were able to pedal to a variety of locations such as Newport, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin and the Donkey Sanctuary (a must-see!). The pub (a 10 minute walk away) has a great menu and the food is well above the average 'pub grub'. You need to book though as it is extremely popular. We were very impressed with this site and its good facilities and the helpful wardens.

Spent 6 nights at Southland, loved every second of our visit. Will definitely return.
Staff extremely welcoming and so helpful. Site was very well maintained and facilities were spotless.
Plenty to do, Red Squirrel Trail was brilliant for walks and cycling..
Cant wait to return 100%
perfect
Usually prefer the informality of CLs but used this site during a visit with my two young grandchildren as it offered a good deal with the ferry. Most of the other caravans were on the hard standing area, presumably because it was October and they expected rain so we opted for grass pitch n.o,37. (If i wanted to be on top of my neighbours i could have stayed at home!) Fantastic pitch, very quiet, sun rising and setting in perfect place to keep caravan warm and not put us in any dark shadows, close enough to brilliant play area which sits down a slight hill behind bushes so even if there had been noisy children playing they wouldn't have bothered anybody. Very friendly staff, we will definitely come again. Spot on.

Can't wait to return
We spent a lovely weekend at Southlands, from the moment I booked over the phone to arrival at the site we were met with warm friendly staff.
Beaches & walks are just a short drive away but we made the most of visiting Compton Bay & Totland on the other side but still nothing is that far away - such a pleasure to drive on the island beautiful views and quaint villages everywhere.
The site is beautifully maintained & services spotless. We shall be returning on our next outing as still so much to see & do.
4TH STAY. STILL ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE SITES ANYWHERE
LOVELY CLEAN WE'LL MAINTAINED SITE. PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN PITCHES. STAFF ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. SHAME THE FERRY COSTS ARE SO DEAR AS HAVING SPOKEN TO OTHERS ON SITE WE ALL AGREE THAT IF IT WAS MORE REASONABLE TO GET THERE WE WOULS ALL GO MORE OFTEN. NOT THE CARAVAN CLUBS FAULT THOUGH. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK YOU'LL FIND A NICER SITE. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR SUCH A BRILLIANT TIME
