Southland is a superbly run site with excellent facilities,large pitches set in well maintained grounds.The wardens were friendly,helpful,and efficient.We stopped there for a week in a motorhome during peak season.The shower and toilet block was so good it was a pleasure using them and my wife and I both looked forward to our morning shower.The problem for us was we wanted to leave the motorhome on site and use the local bus service to tour the island.There is a bus stop right outside but the service bus only runs twice a week,there is an open top tour bus called the breezer which runs regularly which will take you around the eastern downs(£10 adults with concessions paying £5).If you want to make full use of a concessionary bus pas then it is necessary to get to Newport which is the hub where you can get a service bus to anywhere on the island.The nearest bus stop to get directly to Newport is near Amazon world which is nearly a mile away down some very narrow roads.In hindsight I should have hired a car for the week which would have made it much easier to tour the Isle of Wight,a really lovely place.A recommended trip is to Alum bay and the needles where you can get the cable car to the beach and then a boat trip around the needles with commentary.I couldn't fault the site it was beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean,a real credit to the wardens.My only complaint is with a minority of the clientele using the site.It was the first week of the summer holidays so lots of kids on site.I love well behaved kids but some were unsupervised and leaving a mess in the toilet block,also careering around the site on bikes,I saw one young lad almost get knocked off his bike by a chap in a 4 wheel drive who would have been totally blameless.Although this is a Caravan Club site non members are admitted.I think that some of them are unaware of the site rules so standards will be lower during the school holidays.I saw some toilets left in a disgusting state,there is no excuse for this as every cubicle has a brush.To conclude,I would recommend this site despite my adverse comments above.The wardens do a great job but can't be expected to watch unsupervised kids all the time.It is essential to have a car to tour the island from Southland,some of the roads are very narrow and during July/August are busy with holidaymakers in cars some of whom don't slow down for walkers or cyclists.
