  • Award-winning park in a nine-acre wildlife haven
  • Carefully managed to attract and enhance local wildlife
  • Barbecue areas, picnic tables and well-kept amenities
It’s all about the three Rs at award-winning Heathfield Farm Camping on the Isle of Wight… Or possibly four. Or five… These nine acres of countryside are decidedly relaxed and rural; the well-kept amenities have been recently refurbished; and, as it’s a wildlife haven, it’s a fairly reasonable bet you’ll see a resident red squirrel or two: Heathfield has been the recipient of many David Bellamy Gold Conservation Awards and carefully manages its habitat to attract local birds and beasties. Running around is a breeze too, with a wildflower meadow for canines to roll around in and a roomy playing field for kids to play ball games and generally let off steam – parents can ensure relaxation while this happens by prepping dinner/supping wine at the adjacent barbecue areas and picnic tables. Specially planted native trees and shrubs shelter most of the park’s roomy and marked pitches, all of which are level, easily accessible and with electric hook-up. Although Heathfield has a remote and rural feel, its West Wight location is only a mile from the shops and eating emporia of Freshwater village. Once you’re ready to venture out, the site's tourist information office has stacks of literature on what to do locally, and the information board on site has maps with colour coded walks into bridlepaths of the surrounding countryside. Even more handily, the island’s bus network has a stop outside the park – just the ticket for some restful roaming…

What customers say

This is a consistently praised site for its immaculate cleanliness, spacious pitches, and exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. Guests frequently highlight the warm welcome and the well-maintained facilities. The quiet atmosphere and convenient location for exploring the west of the island are also popular. A minor point raised by some is that the shower cubicles can be a little small, but this does not detract from the overall highly positive experiences reported.

Electric grass pitch (no pets)

Liked Very spacious pitches, really helpful staff, distant sea view from our pitch, bus stop just outside entrance. Easy walk into Freshwater

Disliked Toilets and showers very small and wouldn't be sufficient if the site was full. Some traffic noise.

Electric grass pitch (no pets)

Liked We had a lovely couple of night here, as a family of four, kids 8 & 10. Location is great, the hosts were immediately friendly and helpful, the showers and toilets were always clean and stocked, even when they were close to the cleaning time. The space for the kids to run around is brilliant and safe and my youngest really appreciated the no dogs option as he is scared of even the friendliest dog. We would definitely return.

Disliked Honestly - nothing. We were very happy indeed.

Nicky D.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful rural campsite with very attentive site staff. There are a huge number of water taps and bins, with recycling much easier and clearer than any other campsite I've stayed in yet. The toilet and shower blocks are kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper. The station for camper vans to empty their toilets, grey water and to top up with fresh water is great too. The site staff really welcome and make a fuss of any dogs and the dog walking field is a brilliant facility and the dog poo bin was clearly emptied frequently, as are all the other bins. We had a lovely stay here and loved the fact we could leave the camper, awning and seats etc set up and walk to the beach, coast path, the shops in Freshwater or even Golden Hill Fort Country Park. Next year we might even make use of the buses which can be boarded just a short distance from the site. 😊.

Electric grass pitch (no pets)

Liked Great set up for families with a dedicated field for games to set the little ones free! Spotlessly clean facilities and a very well kept site. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Quiet at night and very restful. Short walk (pushchair friendly) to the beach and local village. Would highly recommend.

Liked The warm and enthusiastic welcome from Brian and Ann. They were very knowledgable on facilities and sites of interest in the local vicinity. Site was clean and tidy. Large pitchs.

Disliked Shower cubicles were a little small but adequate. But only 3 for the whole site.

Local attractions

Everywhere on the Isle of Wight is easily reachable by bus or car in the short sort of time that makes the eyes of London commuters water, but if you want to start off on the west side there’s more than enough here to keep all ages happy. Freshwater’s large village (former home of Tennyson, poetry peeps) is edged by the chalk cliffs of Freshwater Bay and its beach, a mix of sand, pebbles and waves popular with watersporters. The 67 miles of spectacularly scenic trail that is the Isle of Wight Coastal Path include a patch through Freshwater: walk two miles from Heathfield to Yarmouth to access the 14-mile walk to Brighstone, and from there the eight miles to Niton. If 67 miles of coastline isn’t enough, the Isle of Wight has over 500 miles of public pathways through towns and villages, over downs and fields, up hills and through woodland: guided tours, including fossil walks, are available all over the island and a walking festival is run every spring and autumn.
