- Family-friendly glamping in the Isle of Wight's Arreton Valley
- A 10-minute drive from Sandown beach; Ventnor 15 minutes
- Well-equipped canvas safari tents on the outskirts of a small village
Sailing the ocean blue, hiking up Tennyson Down and building sandcastles on Sandown's golden beaches – there's nothing quite like a trip to the Isle of Wight to get you into a jolly holiday mood. Southland Experience Freedom Glamping, a well-maintained site on the outskirts of a quiet village, is just the kind of spot where you can easily get into the swing of things – it has top-notch canvas accommodation for hassle-free stays and is a mere 10-minute drive from the coast.
Located in Newchurch and under a mile from the village pub and post office, Southland Experience Freedom Glamping has high-quality facilities intended to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Well-kept toilet and shower blocks (including disabled cubicles), family-friendly washrooms, a kids' playground and a dog-walking area mean that a wide range of groups will feel instantly comfortable here – and that's before you look inside your tent…
Inside, there's room for up to five overnight guests, with nifty features like proper beds, linen, a well-equipped kitchenette and a fridge to help you travel light. These smart pre-pitched safari tents also come with plenty of outdoor space and garden furniture, and all units have uninterrupted views over neighbouring fields and the wider Arreton Valley.

Local attractions
The long and sandy beaches around Sandown (10 minutes' drive) and the Isle of Wight's gorgeous east coast are very close indeed – head here for amusements on the pier, family-friendly bathing beaches, fossil hunting and sipping drinks in seafront cafés. Meanwhile, on the west coast, surfers have good prospects for catching the island’s bigger waves – and there are a couple of surf schools between Freshwater and Brook Bay (both 30 minutes) where newbies can master the basics.
For further contrast, try a trip to the ornate Victorian town of Ventnor (a quarter of an hour away to the south) where there are botanic gardens and elegant villas to admire. This part of the coast is also home to the ever-popular Blackgang Chine amusement park (20 minutes) and splendid St Catherine's Lighthouse (25 minutes).
The site is a short drive from inland attractions too, including the Garlic Farm (five minutes), where you can take farm tours, taste the wares or pick up a range of tasty sauces that are sure to add a kick to your cooking. Also away from the coast is the peaceful Yar River Trail, a clearly signposted walking and cycling route that passes about a mile and a half north of the site entrance.
