Lovely site in a great location

We had a week here on the hard standing area and enjoyed some fantastic days out. It was in a great location to access the whole island. The pub in the local village, The Pointer, is well worth a visit and is VERY dog friendly so suited us to a tee. The site is divided into two main areas. Next time, if dry, we would probably choose a grass pitch as this area felt better than the rows of gravel pitches. The facilities were clean. If the site was full I am not sure how they would cope with the size of the site but this wasn’t an issue when we were there. The wardens were welcoming and friendly. The one advice I would have is don’t choose pitch 144. It has lots of passing walkers and seemed to be an area where people came to let their dogs do their business. Plus people walked over the corner of our pitch all the time. Wardens weren’t interested when I reported it and suggested a hedge be grown there to prevent this. All in all a great site if you choose the right pitch!

Good site in a good location

Stayed for a week at the beginning of September, so most of the kids had left by then. That may have contributed to the peace and quiet we experienced! Site is divided into two, hard standing on one side and grass pitches (a much greater number) on the other. The hard area did have a bit of a carpark look about it, all very open, the grass area has plenty of hedges and trees, lots of little areas, some individual pitches, some with just a few and some more open areas, but all seemed to be well laid out. The facility block, just the one, was kept spotlessly clean. Though I did wonder how busy they might get when the site is full, no issues when we were there. Loads to do and see on the island, for all tastes. The pub just up the (unpaved fairly narrow) road, The Pointer, is well worth a visit, recommend the pies! Worth booking though, as it is popular. Also, other direction, Fighting Cocks, also worth a visit. Much bigger pub and still very popular, and decent food. Overall a good site and would definitely recommend!

Superb Site

Stayed here for 11 nights at the end of August. The site was always absolutely immaculate. Never once did I see a speck of dirt in any of the facilities and the grounds were well maintained. My son, dogs, cat and I had a magnificent holiday. This site is well situated to visit the entire island and there is a lot to see and do without too much of a drive in any direction. Even during busy school holiday time the site was peaceful at night so that you could hear the crickets. The play park is away from the pitches so that noise from the kids was kept to a minimum and they could be allowed to be themselves without disturbing others. The main dog walk is a good size too. Honestly, I couldn’t fault this site and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the Isle of Wight.

Visiting Relations on IOW

I have relations on the IOW that are not too far from the site so I thought I'd combine "family duties", cycling and a short holiday break. You couldn't wish for a warmer welcome from the site management. Extremely friendly and very helpful. The site was kept to a high stand of cleanliness considering it was at the height of the season with so many visitors, thank for your hard work in making my stay such a pleasure. Planning to return towards the end of the year.

Excellent Site

This was the first time we had stayed at this site and weren't disappointed . The site was in a lovely location and well maintained as they always are with the caravan club. We did have to wait to check in but this seems to be an on going problem due to the ferry times and no where to stop and wait on route to the site. The Wardens were very apologetic about this and did everything they could to get us onto our patches asap. There was a local pub just 10 minutes walk away which is always a nice treat. Lovely walks from the site and local bus service routes nearby if needed. The site also had a list of places on the island where you could park a camper van which is always useful. We would certainly come back again.

Very Regimental

Arrived early as ferry changed crossing time, but we were turned away from the parking area, we went back at 12.30 and still not allowed on site on the hottest day ever recorded. Pitch was empty so no reason. My cat was really poorly in the heat and I was desperate for electric for fan as cold water to cool him was not working. Opened barrier exactly to the second on 1pm, and staff running around full of self importance . We have been to so many places and have never come across this before. Then we went to buy an ice cream and we had no cash on us and was told only cash for ice cream but you could buy anything else for much less money and use a card. Worse treatment ever on any site which spoilt the stay.

Fantastic week in Southland

Had the best time with incredible weather over the past week. Great site -especially for cyclists like us. Close to the Red Squirrel trail that has a fab cycle track to most of the Island. We cycled to Sandown, Shanklin, Newport and Cowes with lovely lit stops along the way. Walking distance to 2 pubs with great food (the Pointer and Fighting Cocks. Clean and well kept site with lovely helpful staff. Only down side was the strict rule not to arrive b4 1pm -even 10 minutes b4 you are turned away and not able to wait on site. The only other thing was finding your spot to set up -you are not given a plot but asked to find one which is a pain after a long drive there. However -you can get over such things and thoroughly enjoy your stay.
