General
- Peaceful site surrounded by woods filled with wildlife
- A short drive from Shanklin
- Fishing pond and heated pool
This is such a pretty site – tucked in a quiet glen beside an unruffled duck pond, and embraced by bluebell woods full of red squirrels, badgers and woodpeckers - that you may never want to leave... When you do manage to drag yourself away from Ninham Country Holidays, it’s just a short ride through gorgeous countryside to the sandy beaches and thatched roofs of Shanklin, the island’s top resort.
The site has a large pond and a heated outdoor pool for relaxing soaks. If you’re coming for one of the festivals, imagine how civilised it would be to come back to this blissful place instead of fighting it out for tent space among the crowds (the number 8 bus gets you to the Isle of Wight Festival in half an hour).
The park has two camping areas set either side of the wooded valley: the Orchard, with new shower facilities, only accepts dogs in the low season but not during school summer holidays. Willow Brook is open only in school holidays and allows dogs during this period.
Open from 01/05/2017 to 20/09/2017

Please note
The site caters for families (immediate members) and couples only - bookings from all other forms of groups are not accepted.
Dogs are not allowed on the Orchard pitches during high season (15/07 - 02/09)
Check availability at Ninham Country Holidays…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Our private drive is off the Newport – Sandown Road on the A3056.

Arrivals from the Newport / Cowes / Yarmouth direction: go past the park entrance and proceed 400 metres to Morrisons supermarket roundabout, turn back and continue up to our private lane (located on the left).
From Ryde / Fishbourne direction: take the A3055 and turn onto the A3056 at Lake. Continue for 1km, passing over the Morrisons Supermarket roundabout. The drive is 400 metres further on your left.
Local attractions
The plentiful cycle tracks and footpaths mean it’s easy to start exploring the Isle of Wight’s diverse terrain of hills, woodland and white cliffs framing golden beaches.
Not for nothing is this called the Garden Isle: Mediterranean plants thrive in the mild climate, and visitors can expect to spot a wide range of wildlife around and about. It’s no wonder Queen Victoria and her brood decamped here so frequently from smelly London (visitors can check out their seaside digs at Osborne House).
Natural attractions aside, the island offers great watersports from its lovely beaches, as well as all manner of other athletic activities, and sights to suit all tastes.
Culture vultures should try Carisbrooke Castle or one of the many museums, dinosaur hunters can track down the great beasts that used to roam the shores, fledgling zoologists will enjoy the many animal-based attractions, and that’s before we even get started on the scenic steam railway, glorious botanic gardens or rip-roaring theme parks...

I am sorry that you did not rate us as favorably as we hoped, but it is in contrast to the majority of our reviews. I will point out that you were made aware over the phone, before your arrival of the rules we put in place for dog owners - especially considering being in a farm location with various wildlife on site. It was evident even then you were not happy with 'rules'
it is unfortunate that you felt that the miles! of bridleways & footpaths that lead directly from site are not adequate to exercise your dog correctly. There is provision for dog waste at the bin areas.
I am sorry that you feel our common sense rule are 'silly' - but they are in place for the enjoyment of all guests.
To respond your other complaints, if you had asked to be located more centrally, we certainly could have done so, but no request was placed at reception, and a water point is located within 50m at the end of the row you were allocated. Bins for safety are located at the entrance to each camping area and can be accessed by foot or on your way out by car.
