  • Peaceful pop-up site on a family-run working farm with sea views
  • A 25-minute walk to Brook Beach; 15 minutes’ drive to Blackgang Chine
  • Close to coastal walks, trails and bridleways; pub five minutes’ walk
You won’t be short on coastal walks, hikes, bridleways and beaches from Chapelfurlong Farm on the Isle of Wight. In a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s no surprise that this peaceful site, part of a family-run working farm, has splendid sea views. If those views have you craving a dip, the nearest beach is only 25 minutes’ walk away - Brook Beach has a fossilised forest and splendid golden sand. Another sandy stretch, two miles long, is just five minutes’ drive away. Compton Beach often has great surf and if you’re lucky, you might find a fossil there too. Chapelfurlong Farm is a pop-up site with sheltered pitching areas and basic facilities that include water and toilets. It’s a peaceful place, that’s for sure, and the location is also rather lovely. The local pub is only five minutes’ walk away, so when you fancy yourself a pint at short notice, you won’t have far to go. If you’ve got the whole family in tow, you’ll also be happy to find that there are a couple of theme parks within driving distance of the site. Blackgang Chine (15 minutes’ drive) has dinosaur and cowboy themed rides, while Robin Hill (half an hour) has 88 acres of entertainment at hand.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Basic but brilliant 2 nights camping, beach nearby, views of cliffs, clean toilet and wash sink in solid wooden structure with handsoap, loo rolls, hooks for lanterns, towel etc. Solar powered light bit unreliable so take a torch, lantern etc. Only one other camper when we were there. Pub near if required but we bbqed. Owners welcomed us and came down to say goodbye as well. Bins and recycling bin provided.

Disliked: View of cliffs and surrounding fields only possible due to being on a hill so site is quite sloped. Farm dogs visited when bbqing (although v well behaved) which was fine for us but might not be if you don't like dogs. Site can be windy so bring plenty of pegs.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Ideal location for a 2 day cycle around the island. Great base for a couple of walks and a great pub a 2 min walk away. Jackie went above and beyond to help me out, she even drove to the pub to ask what their opening times were and then found me to let me know. Friendly dogs too!

Liked: This was an absolutely amazing campsite with an incredible view. The farmers who own the field were so lovely. The pub was so close and great for when we had had enough of camping food. We will definitely be back.
