General
- Family-run park with spacious pitching areas
- A couple of miles from Sandown Bay and Shanklin
- Reduced ferry price for customers
Old Barn Touring Park is named after its Grade II-listed thatched barn at the park entrance, now used as a games room for rainy days or lazy hours. It’s a family-run park with pitches all set in a number of small areas secluded by hedges and with only a handful of pitches per spot. A communal patio has free wifi.
Once heading off site, there’s a bus running from Newport to Ryde within five minutes’ walk of the park, and the sandy beaches of Sandown Bay and Shanklin are within a couple of miles.
Elsewhere on site there’s a tiled amenities block with spacious showers, an outdoor play area for the under-eights, a big family bathroom and a reception area with info on things to do on the Isle of Wight. There’s no food shop, but the site sells camping and Calor gas and has ice pack freezing, and two supermarkets are just down the road.
The Old Barn team (a friendly and helpful gang made up of Terry, Emma and Gary) can arrange ferries for guests at a reduced price: let them know using the 'special requests' when you book.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm sorry that you seemed to have trouble finding 20p's we keep a stock of them in the reception that you can change up when you arrive or anytime during your stay (during office open hours) so that our customers don't struggle with this and I'm not sure who told you the disabled/family room was out of order because to my knowledge it is working fine and I clean it every day and nothing looks to be broken or not working. The shower in there runs on tokens (which are 20p) and can again be collected from reception this allows it to only be used by those who need to use it. There is a rather large sign on the wall that says that too. It's a shame that you didn't speak to us while you where here as I'm sure that it would have improved your experience. |

Local attractions
The Isle of Wight has history, nature, dinosaurs, museums, award-winning beaches, theme parks and more to explore: start off at nearby Sandown Bay for amusements on the pier and to begin a lope around the 67-mile long Isle of Wight Coast Path to Shanklin and from there to Ventnor.
Blackgang Chine, six miles from Ventnor, is now an eccentric amusement park with rides, lifesized plastic dinosaurs and rollercoasters in its Victorian garden setting. Blackgang Chine’s sister site, Robin Hill theme park, just outside Newport, has more rides, a wooden maze, toboggan run and an adventure playground; less excitable types can go to the park’s Combley Roman villa, flutter around the butterfly garden or spot squirrels on the Red Squirrel Safari.
Animal enthusiasts have loads to pick from: tigers and other big cats at the Isle of Wight Zoo, over 200 rare and exotic species at Amazon World Zoo Park and the biggest wildlife park on the island, Seaview Wildlife Encounter.
For history, the seaside palace of Osborne House was the island hideaway of Queen Victoria and has her own private beach – and bathing machine – now open to the public.
There’s also Carisbrooke Castle, where Charles I fled to after escaping captivity at Hampton Court and where he was banged up again by Colonel Hammond: dress up in Civil War clothes here or have a game of bowls on the same green used by the unpopular king.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We don't feel that our pitches are tightly packed together, our smallest pitches are around 10 meters by 10 meters and that should allow more than enough space between campers. Unfortunately if you pitch yourself directly on top of the edge of the pitch you will be closer to other campers. If you were unhappy with the pitch you were given you would have been more than welcome to move to another pitch but as you didn't ask we would have assumed you were happy with the pitch you were given. We also don't feel that 20p is a huge amount of money to spend on a shower. We do have them set at 38 degrees which is a comfortable temperature. I can't comment on a drain smell as I haven't smelt anything anywhere around the park. The water points are surrounded by bushes but I wouldn't say they are over grown and at this time of year there are a lot of flying insects in general and you normally only get mosquito's around standing water which there is not around the water taps.
