Swimming pool: open may spring bank holiday until early september

Peaceful site surrounded by woods filled with wildlife
A short drive from Shanklin and Sandown Bay
Heated outdoor pool on site in summer months

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 this peaceful little wildlife haven… But when you do manage to drag yourself away from Ninham Country Holidays, it’s just a short ride through gorgeous countryside to the safe, sandy beaches Shanklin and Sandown Bay. The Orchard pitching area has spacious, level landscaped pitches divided by hedging and mature specimen trees. Guests have access to modern bathroom facilities, with renewable technologies such as solar water heating and rainwater harvested flushing toilets. There's also an outdoor heated swimming pool at this park (open late May to early September, and operated on a regulated booking system). TV and games rooms are also on hand for keeping the kids busy in mid and high-season periods. A firm emphasis is placed on being nature-friendly, and all guests are expected to adhere to a strict recycling policy and the countryside code. Please note: well-behaved dogs are accepted for most of the year, but not during the school summer holidays. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on site.

VW electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Had an amazing stay at Ninham campsite! Mark and Carol were fantastic hosts, going above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The site was spotless, the pool was refreshing, and the new toilet block was the best I've seen on a campsite in a long time —immaculate and modern. Highly recommend! Pip and I will definitely be returning again soon.

Alan K. Sept 2024

Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Generous size camping pitches with trees and nice hedges dividing up the meadow well with mains hook up and well drained field- even with the 4 days of rain we had it wasn’t muddy or flooded. Very well kept grounds throughout the entire site. Swimming pool was very nice and the adjacent games room was fun with pool tables, air hockey, table tennis, table football and a TV lounge. Good size children’s playground and outdoor play areas. Bicycle parking points to lock a bike up at various points throughout the site
Very good toilet and shower facilities that were well maintained and clean.
Friendly and helpful staff on site.
Will definitely come again next year.

Disliked: Very little to complain about-
The pool closes at 18:00
The games room at 20:00
Both seem a bit too early to close especially if you’re out all day exploring- not really a negative.

VW electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: I brought my son with our camper - only just finished after 3 yrs, we decided to have our first camping trip here at Ninham, Shanklin. We really enjoyed our stay. My son loved the pool and spent most of his time in there and the games room.
The bathrooms were so clean & comfortable.
The staff were very friendly. brilliant informative pack and map.
Carol was amazing, she cycled round to show us to our pitch and made us chuckle when she was faster than us! Working so hard gardening and other work with energy and enthusiasm. Thank you very much x

Disliked: Nothing at all

Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The camp site was lovely with so much to do from beautiful walks and bike rides to activities for the kids on site. They enjoyed the pool and badminton nuts and the lovely space to run around and be free with play equipment dotted about. The pitches were spacious and we were lucky to be next to the amenities which were very clean and always spaces. All were cleaned regularly twice if not 3x a day. The campsite is off the main road and close to morisons and the road to Sandown/Shanklin beach. I would definitely stay again.

Disliked: The farmer liked an early start lol which the last 2 mornings was slightly annoying but not troublesome and obviously out if the owners hands.
I think there should be a sign for when the male cleaner was in attendance in the women's facilities.

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…
