Ninham Country Holidays

The site was lovely, we had a relatively level pitch and was a good size. It was close to toilets and showers. The swimming pool was also nice, as was the TV room by the pool which the kids could watch films in. The location was good and relatively close to most places we wanted to go.

The showers were scalding hot, and was almost impossible to shower my children. Staff were quite inflexible at times. We had booked with friends and had requested on the booking that we have pitches together. When we arrived we were given seperate pitches and were told they were full and we couldn't have pitches next to each other. There were 3 empty pitches opposite our friends tent for the entire wee we were there.

We have been living in North America since having kids and so our family camping holidays are quite different, my only experience camping in the UK was an awful campsite in the Gower Coast about 20 years ago, it still haunts me and I was dreading camping in the UK again!
Pleased to say we had an amazing 4 night stay, kids swam everyday and explored the campsite in safety with their walkie talkies. We explored the island and spent a day at the beach and Osborne house.
Nice and easy walk with kids into Shanklin, campsite is close to supermarket etc
We booked an XL pitch, I would recommend as this allowed us to have a gazebo up next to our tent for tables, chairs etc and was only an extra £3 per night
Would highly recommend to anyone camping with children.

My only slight criticism was that the showers have no temperature control and my 6 year old found it too hot, I like a hot shower and found them lovely and warm but not great for young children.

The pitches were very well laid out with plenty of room, the reception was well equipped with leaflets of things to do. The facilities were very clean and lots to do if you have children. lots of walks around the park and two fishing lakes.

The only thing I found a little disappointed was the grass pitches need to be kept maintained grass was a little long in places so on change over a quick mow would be good. On one night someone decided to play loud music past 23.00 which was taking the ???? and as we had a tent found it hard to sleep.

Very spacious pitches, with room for a car, big gap and a tent.
The facilities block was large, usually clean, with lots of toilets and showers and even little changing rooms with a sink.
Laundry room.
Away from main road.
Nice views.
Lovely staff on reception.

Some pitches are very far from the toilet block on the Orchard, which can be very inconvenient if you wake up to go in the middle of the night.
A little shop would be very useful/helpful.
Couldn't use the pool as it was packed with children and the water looked very murky.
Classic Scooters drove us abit mad with the noise and smell (but these are common to the IOW).
Needs more shady areas for pitches (saplings have been planted though).
Laundry room is very expensive (£3 to wash a load, then another £3 to dry, but you'll probably need to dry twice!)
Showers operate with a push button and it turns off after about 20 seconds, so you have to keep pressing it over and over until you're done.

I liked the space and the good facilities, they were nice and clean. The pool was great and the little hut serving coffee and ice cream an added bonus.

Could do with selling a few of the basics at reception, milk fresh bread. This would have given it a 10/10.

Almost everything

Security as everyone can get in the park. There is no security. I didn't appreciate it very much.

Camping pitches, location and swimming pool

Toilets, shower cubicles were small, shower curtains smelly, mould growing in grout, channel at back of cubicle full of hair and smelly. Block was cleaned regularly! Water far too hot in showers and no controls, unsuitable for children and people with skin conditions.
Access to pool and games room was via steep steps.

Good walks from the site. Ample facilities that never got crowded. Play areas suitable for most ages. Swimming pool not that large but didn't get that crowded and plenty of deck chairs/ loungers around the pool. Peaceful and relaxing with lovely views, but easy to get to supermarkets etc from the site.

Our holiday was over too quickly.

Best camping site ever been to. Kids loved the swimming pool and I loved the coffie hut next to it. The gaming room and TVs room were the treat. The site is so big but you don't feel crowded. There is a feel of calmness in the site. Toilets were immaculately clean. Free hot water in the showers and the best thing on there was the separate family shower facility with three different height shower head. They had done every thing to make the guest feel comfortable .
We had a electric pitch. That pitch was so big that there was enough for two tents. All the pitches were fully flat so we slept very well .
There was a morissons nearby for shopping grocery and Praks like Robin hill park only 4 mile away.
Basically it's location and its facilities can't beat any of my camping experience.
Worth second visit.

Very clean site. reception staff very friendly and helpful. Young lad in coffee shop very polite and friendly. the modern shower block is very nice very well set out and very large tent pitches

The shower block needs updating tiles broken in showers plastic grills broken.locks to toilets differcult to lock and very loose. I have read a comment from your site saying that's what you have paid for that willow is cheaper than orchard but there is still a required standard to be met I'm not expecting a modern block like orchard just well maintained. Also you have to push the shower button in constant or it switches off very differcult to wash yourself or wash your hair. But saying that they were cleaned every morning.
Also there should be a light on the entrance boards so you can see the turning as there are no street lights on the main road and differcult to see coming from lake to see where the entrance is. We drove by several times and had to turn round.
The free WiFi never worked all the time I was there asked several customers if they had got WiFi and they said they didn't.
