Quite week

My family and I stayed for a week over the bank holiday, the site is very clean and well run shower block kept in perfect condition, very good play area for kids including a small football pitch. The island is a very pleasant place to view and explore but we found that we were struggling to find things to do for the kids we visited all the main attractions, including both robin hill and black gang chine to which we found very disappointing considering the ticket price( only good thing is that once you have purchased your ticket you can go back any time over the period of your stay so we did as there was not much else to do for the kids). I would say keep the isle of white just for short weekend trips you can see the whole place in three days won't be going back for a long time but at least we have now ticked it of our places to stay.

Superb Site

Have just returned from a glorious week on this perfect site. As others before me have stated the site exceeds all expectations for a perfect holiday, wardens, cleanliness and layout couldn't be faulted. Ideally located for sightseeing and close to the best beaches on the island, which out of season were nearly deserted. Only drawback was the roadworks going on in many places and a road closure which created a long diversion from east to west. Some fellow members spoke of 2.5hr journey from ferry, so do what we did and speak to the very helpful wardens before you leave home and they will give precise directions and reduce the travel time to under 1 hour.

The best site we have ever used

This epitomises what the Caravan Club is about. A top quality site, maintained to the highest standard and extremely pleasant and helpful wardens. First class, top notch.

Simply Brilliant!

This is quite simply one of the best, if not the best, site on the network. Brilliant wardens, smiling, happy, courteous....., fantastic facilities, superb children's play area, manicured landscaping....simply outstanding! Many people seem put off by the 'trip from the mainland', realistically it's £100 return with the caravan via Red Funnel and with the £2 a night offer, no more expensive than any site across the country. The ferry crossing adds to the excitement of the holiday. And....the weather when it's good is amazing! Hottest place in the UK! We simply cannot rate this place highly enough. If you've never been, book it and try it, you will not be disappointed!!!

Immaculate site!

Southlands is a well equipped and immaculate site. There is barely a blade of grass out of place. Everything is clean, neat and tidy and the facilities are all in excellent working order.  How this is achieved is difficult to fathom as there is no evidence of hectic maintenance!  In fact other than at check-in and check-out, I don't recall seeing the wardens during my five night stay. The grass pitch that I pitched on was the most level and flattest that I have ever encountered.  Numerous tall hedges surround the grass pitches which give protection from the wind as it would otherwise be quite breezy.  The hedges do however obscure the pleasant views over the surrounding countryside.  You could elect to have one of the hard standing pitchs which are less protected by hedges and therefore have better views but are more exposed.  I guess you can choose to be blown away by the view or by the wind. The Pointer Inn in the local village is very highly recommended and we were looking forward to eating there on our last evening.  However when we rang to request a reservation that afternoon we were told that all tables were taken.  So that's a lesson for us all; get your reservation made early! There are plenty of adequate eating places nearby in Shanklin and Sandown and in nearby villages but we didn't find anything particularly worthy of recommendation or warning to avoid.  The fish and chip shop in Lake (about 2 miles away) is clean and cooks your food freshly to order and is a reasonable and convenient takeaway.

Beautiful Immaculate Site

This is a lovely level site with mature landscaping. Wardens are very helpful and friendly and toilets/shower block were immaculate even over the busy Easter weekend.

The perfect campsite

We are new campers and this was our first visit to Southlands and it couldn't have been better. The wardens were very welcoming, and really helpful when we were struggling to set up our outfit even though it was 8pm and pouring with rain! The weather cleared up fortunately and we were able to enjoy our holiday. The shower blocks are of a very high standard and spotlessly clean and our dog was delighted with the dog walk. It's definitely a site to visit.

Best welcome ever!

This really was the warmest, friendliest welcome we have received at any site ever. The wardens are so welcoming and the site is a credit to them. The location is ideal and the village of Newchurch is beautiful. Our dog loves this site and so do we. We are already planning our next visit. Oh!, and the ginger icecream, bought from the shop was brilliant. Very Yummy!
