  • Family-friendly site on a hillside wooded glade with an old farmstead
  • A 15-minute drive to Brighstone Bay and 20 minutes to Compton Bay
  • Communal firepit and easy access to footpaths
All set to start your family break on the Isle of Wight? With Camp Corve as your base, it’ll be off to a flying start. The site is surrounded by an ancient woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 15 minutes’ drive away from the nearest family-friendly stretch of sand. What activities might you get stuck into around here? Walking, cycling, skateboarding, sitting around a firepit, swimming and surfing, to list but a few. There's a barn-based skatepark a couple of minutes’ walk away and it’s a five-minute drive to Military Road, which has sweet coastal views and beaches. Beach time? Head for the family-friendly Brighstone Bay, accessible from Grange Chine (15 minutes’ drive), or Compton Bay (20 minutes’ drive) for its north-westerly chalk cliff views and surf school. The quiet leafy lane leading to the site becomes a bridleway that leads onto extensive hikes through Isle of Wight landscapes too. Tucked into a hillside, Camp Corve's wooded glade is on an old farmstead with six acres of space. Vast skies and rolling countryside? Indeed. Private and sheltered by young and mature trees, wild plants and grass? Oh, yes. Birds and small animals also call this place home, so kids won’t be the only ones playing about. No need to sacrifice home comforts here, as the site has a ‘Squirrels and Hedgehogs’ toilet and hot shower building fashioned from recycled bricks from around the old farm. Power sockets are available, as is an accessible toilet. The ‘Ash Circle’ has two communal firepits with logs available and an outdoor sink for washing up. Cars are parked in the farmyard area, where there’s a wheelbarrow-trolley to transport your gear.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, rural campsite with a natural feel, offering secluded, spacious pitches amongst trees. Facilities, particularly showers, are praised for being clean and having hot water. The location is ideal for exploring the island and provides a tranquil escape. An on-site skatepark is a popular feature. Some guests noted a lack of bins and a desire for more charging points.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful rural location
Very calm and quiet
New, clean showers and washing up areas

Disliked We shared an EHU hook up with another tent which meant we had to be pitched very close together. This ended up working well as the kids all played together but did restrict privacy somewhat

Zoe I.

Barn Owl bell tent

Liked Camp Corve is a fantastic site for families. We had a bell tent with beds, electric, picnic bench, a shelf in the fridge and fire pit included. The surroundings are beautiful and everything you need is on hand. Hamish and Erin are incredibly responsive and on hand for anything you need. We bought some wood for the fire as we hadn't' taken enough. The showers are hot and have good pressure. The toilets are well maintained and topped up daily.

Disliked The toilet and shower rooms would benefit from a couple of shelves.

Robin M.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I'm so happy we picked this site. The pitches were well spaced out and the site has a very natural feel with lots of secluded pitches amongst trees, surrounded by birdsong in the morning and crickets in the evening.

The hosts were friendly and hospitable. The facilities were fairly rustic, wooden sheds for the most part, which adds to the relaxed feel of the site. The showers were really great, never went cold and nice rain style shower heads.

A great location on the island, never too far from anywhere you might like to go, but far enough away from the tourist hotspots that it doesn't have the holiday park vibe.

Honestly the quietest campsite I have ever stayed at, all the other campers were friendly and it had a real communal atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Camp Corve is a wonderfully peaceful campsite near the southern tip of the Isle of Wight. The pitches are secluded and sizeable. It really is camping in nature.
The facilities are good (including lovely hot showers) and the owners are welcoming and helpful. It even has an indoor skatepark. This campsite is ideally placed for cycling round the Isle of Wight. Highly recommended.

Disliked None

Local attractions

With white cliffs and golden sands, the Isle of Wight's coast is likely to snatch your attention. Get the classic golden sand at Brook Bay (15 minutes) and then track down the traditional fishing cove Steephill Cove (15 minutes). If you want a vintage kind of beach day, head to Ventnor (20 minutes) to hire traditional beach huts with wheels. Blackgang Chine (10 minutes) is another spot full of heritage – it's famed as the UK’s oldest amusement park. The 400-foot drop tower has views of the sea before the big drop. Those of you keen on gathering some historical knowledge can pay a visit to Carisbrooke Castle (15 minutes), Mottistone Gardens and Estate (20 minutes), Model Village Godshill (10 minutes) or the 88-acre Robin Hill (20 minutes). The Needles Landmark Attraction (half an hour), of course, is a must-see with views of white cliffs and demos like glass blowing or sweet making. A botanic garden, zoos and a farm park are within a short drive of the site.
