Week of Chill out

Well what can i say site was better than any photo well lade out good size pitches will say i was a bit concerned that it only had one toilet shower block but no need to worry they where large and i know we where there when kids where back in school i never had to Que for toilets or showers i will also add they where so clean and loads of hot water the grounds where so well looked after site was spot on I will say mind that it is off the beaten track a bit so you need a car or bike, if you like walking then the bus stop is just down the lane about 25mins walk then for there you can get day or week pass for the island buses we really enjoyed our stay thanks to the wardens they keep the site tip top

Excellent site

Perfectly maintained flat sheltered pitches. the tall well groomed hedge subdivisions conceal the size of the site, and shelter you from winds. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, as well as keeping the excellent facilities spotless. It is very well sited for visiting the whole Island, and in particular has access in the village to the excellent dedicated Island cycleway network which we explored for the first time. Thanks to the club travel service, booking a package to include the heavily discounted SeaLink ferry made the trip affordable for car and caravan. Please do NOT use satnav to get there if towing. The local roads north of the village are very steep, very narrow and surprisingly busy,so use the directions via main roads.

Excellent site

Our second visit to the site which was just as good as before. It provides an ideal location to visit all parts of the island. Immaculately kept, with outstanding floral displays when we were there in September. The Pointer Inn in Newchurch is to be recommended if you can cope with the size of the meals!

A caravan Club Gem!

A lovely site with friendly wardens. Great pitches, most with hedging to keep the winds at bay. The toilets & showers are excellent & always thoroughly clean. Love it! The pointer Inn, one of the Islands best eateries, is 10 minutes walk away.......You need to book! Get a bus pass.....1,3 or 7 day passes....cheap as chips....the best way to see the island!

What's going on ?

Visited this site many times over the years from when our kids were kids. We were there over the August bank holiday and was only half full , this site as without doubt got to be one of the best on the network , so we're is every one. I think the ferry prices have to be a concern for what they quote , so if your thinking of going book through the club it's far more cost effective . The wardens are a credit to the club they work so hard are very friendly and sociable , the place is amaculate. Didn't want to come home, so come on members support this site it defenatly deserves it. Well done to all on southlands .

Superb, peaceful, clean and friendly...

What's not to like at Southland's. Living on the Island we already know the UK's best kept secret. This site is excellent and made all the more welcoming by the lovely, helpful and attentive Wardens. What a credit to the club and campers too. Great walking and sightseeing all around. Pedlars café (If you can find it) is well worth a visit, and the Pointers Inn serve excellent food in a great environment. All in all, a brilliant advertisement for the wonderful Isle of Wight. The only enhancements would be a pool and perhaps a small shop or eatery. One for the future perhaps? You'll not be disappointed at Southland.

Great Site in a Great Place

There are a lot of positives about this site. We spent 2 weeks here and loved it. It was fairly quiet (but I think that it has been impacted by the increased ferry costs) and there was plenty of space around. The facilities are absolutely spotless and the Wardens do a fantastic job of keeping the site up and running - very professional, helpful and very friendly and approachable. They are a credit to the Club. Pitches are large and some are secluded, being separated by hedgerows. You are never far from water and waste facilities and there is a great playground for the children. There is a dog walk (which I'll come back to) which has some superb views and is long enough to exercise your dog. All in all, a great site on the fantastic Isle of Wight (which has to be one of the best UK holiday destinations - at least for us anyway). Coming back to the dog walk. I cannot understand the number of dog owners that were allowing there dogs to either foul other member's pitches or foul the dog walk. I walked my dog each day and would never allow her to foul another pitch. If she founded on the dog walk, it was always collected but the number of members that did not collect dog waste was unacceptable. I took extra bags each day to collect other dogs waste but gave up in the end. I spoke to the Wardens who were also getting tired of this happening. On the other matter, with a long dog walk and an abound of places to exercise dogs I cannot understand members putting dogs on extendable leads for the purpose of allowing their dogs to foul on other pitches. I had to complain about this at another site, but, if some dog owners don't become more responsible, they will ruin it for the rest of us. Other than that, you won't find a better site.

You can't get better

We spent 2 weeks here this August - fantastic weather and a fantastic site. I cannot find any faults whatsoever with the site. It is beautifully landscaped with good pitches and the facilities are spotlessly clean without hardly being closed for cleaning. There are lots of showers and toilets and with loads of room. The wardens were always there when needed and were amazingly friendly without being pushy. The Isle of Wight is one of the best holiday destinations in the UK - if you haven't been for a while - go again. Southlands is just in the right area. Caravan Club arranged the ferry and everything worked like clockwork.

Fantastic Site

This is our 2nd visit to this site and this time we stayed for 3 weeks. The toilets are spotlessly clean and the site is well maintained. They have a good play area and a grass area to play ball games etc. The site is about 10 minutes from Sandown and Shanklin but the whole of the island is easy to travel round as the traffic is not to bad and we stayed in peak season. There's lots of nice beaches as well as places to visit. Our children are 6 and 11 and both love it here. The site was not full which l think is due to the ferry cost, out of season they have lots of good offers but unfortunately not for families in peak season!
