What's to criticise?
We usually opt for the cheesier style holiday home park type sites, but we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of this site. The grounds and facilities are immaculately maintained. The showers were very clean, cubicles large and water hot without that annoying push button malarky. The pitches are large but none really have a view because the hedges are so tall - presumably to act as wind breaks. The play park and little football pitch are good. It was very quiet with no road noise at all. It was a shame the site was only about 10% full though - and we stayed in the middle of the Easter holidays. The Club need to advertise better! I don't see how they can break even with those numbers.

Beautifully kept site
The general reviews for this site are not wrong. The site was immaculate. The grass and hedges look like they have been manicured with scissors! Beautifully kept.
The toilet block etc are spotless.
My grandchildren loved the playground. Lovely climbing equipment etc with super soft landing mats. Nice kick about area with poles for scoring goals.
Nice size pitches. We had a fully serviced pitch which was ideal. Bit of a walk to the service block but hey ho!!! Wifi was good most of the time and TV RECEPTION was very good.
Fairly central to all attractions,so a great place to stay.
Another lovely club site
Our first visit to the island. The site was fairly full but is spacious so no feeling of crowds. The staff were most friendly and helpful to the extent of witnessing a property transfer document for us.
The facilities were excellent. This site was well placed for buses, an infrequent service at the gate and an hourly service a half mile down the road. This is to us important as we like to leave our motorhome on site and island roads are quite narrow!
In summary another great club site.

Lovely place to stay
Despite the weather and therefore a tad muddy, we couldn't fault the campsite. We opted for the grass area and so had the benefit of ducks visiting, how lovely. The showers were the best we've ever experienced. The Wardens were extremely helpful and friendly. The position of the campsite is perfect to visit the entire island. We heartily recommend this site.

Lovely stay in April 2016
Stayed for eight nights in April. Lovely site, wardens really helpful. Only pity was it was following Storm Katie so the beautiful grass pitches were still wet so we were recommended to use the hardstandings. These are new and very large so no complaints but would love to go back and stay in the lovely hedge enclosed grass pitches.
Easter Break 2016.
We visited for 5 days over easter the site is lovely and clean and very well run, the showers and toilet block was kept Immaculate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The site is situated in an excellent position for traveling all over the island. There's a nice little pub the pointer inn 5 minuites drive away the food was really good, and staff friendly. The best place we found to eat was the fighting cocks the food was excellent its around 10 minuites drive from the site, we braved storm Katie it was a really frightening experience ?? x
Excellent
Stayed over Easter for 9 night. Very quiet and relaxing apart from storm Katie. All service pitch was fine although furthest from toilet block.however this was explained at check in by very efficient friendly and informative wardens. Site is extremely well kept and all amenities are spotlessly clean. Will definitely re visit although ferry prices push up an otherwise good value site. Well done southlands
Great site, very welcoming wardens
Arrived very early at 10 am and very kind warden allowed us to pitch up. Was a quiet period and really nice to see a warden use some discretion and common sense. We were asked to pitch on a grass pitch as limited number of hard standing pitches available and appear to be kept back for Motorhomes and I do tend to agree with previous comments that this seems a little unfair as we all pay the same fees. That said this is a great site and the island is deffo worth a visit. We visited the garlic farm which was a fab. Lots of beaches that allow dogs at this time of year.
Facilities are all spotless and children's play area was great. Even have a place for balls games and a set of football goals always from any vans.
Only crisis miss the club could invest in a changing number of grass pitches to hard standing so as to avoid the muddy mess in bad weather for everyone not just Motorhome owners.
A gem of a site!
Just home from a lovely short break on the Island. Cannot say enough good things about this site. We are a family with 2 children and a dog. Wardens were so friendly and helpful, site is immaculate and facilities clean and well kept. Lovely play area for the children with fantastic views across the downs. Brilliant dog walk for our pooch. We arrived just after storm Katie had been so ground was soft and therefore we opted for a hard standing pitch, lovely and level with fantastic views. Had the ground been better, as a family, we would have had a grass pitch as closer to park and dog walk and more secluded, either way you won't be disappointed. Ferry travel was easy and we got a fantastic deal by booking through the club and using wightlink, follow the clubs directions to the site or you will end up on some Very narrow roads. We will definately be returning for a longer stay.
