General
- Spectacular views and top-notch facilities
- Relax in the garden conservatory or run amok with the kids
- Shower and bathroom facilities with underfloor heating
'The best campsite we've ever stayed at' is just one of the excellent accolades piled upon the Isle of Wight's The Orchards Holiday Park, where guests feel in firm agreement with The Orchards' assessment of its facilities as 'top-notch'.
Said facilities include shower and wash basin cubicles, a ladies' vanity area, a family shower room and family bathroom, a baby changing room, wheelchair-accessible amenities and a laundry and washing-up area, all with underfloor heating.
Things are top-notch leisurewise too, with a heated outdoor pool open from late May to late August, an indoor pool open all season, a poolside coffee shop, pool and ping pong tables and a recreation area. There are two play areas, one for under-fives and one for older kids, as well as a dog exercise area.
And the views, the location and the atmosphere here all regularly get top billing here as well: The Orchards is a relaxed and friendly park with an amicable and helpful team, set near Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight's western rural side and coming with first-rate views (this is among the most scenic washing up you'll ever do).
Finally, if you want to take the hassle out of ferry bookings on your journey to and from the island, the Orchards team can help arrange your travel: just let them know after you book.
Open from 31/03/2023 to 27/10/2023

Local attractions
The Orchards Holiday Park is in west Wight, the more quiet and rural part of the island, but you won't have far to drive to get to all the other islandy attractions ('tis not a big place, the Isle of Wight). And even better news: The Orchards has discount deals arranged for guests with many of the local pubs and attractions.
Staying west, miles of pathways can be investigated from the park by foot or pedal (maps as well as details on the team's fave walks can be found at the park reception), as well as hikes along the coastline with wight pretty scenery and views of the Solent.
The sandy beaches of Brook and Compton are a short drive away, as is Newtown Creek, a National Trust nature reserve brimming with birds, butterflies and boat photo opportunities.
Also have a look at Chessell Pottery Barns, the Yarmouth outlet with gallery, activities, gift barn and café; or, for history, Calbourne Water Mill and Rural Museum, and the holiday home of Queen Victoria, Osborne House in East Cowes.

Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your recent stay.
I would like to make my own comments for public knowledge.
We don't have many guests in at the moment so we decided to close most of the toilet block down leaving the front end open, this is to keep costs down and save us from closing the touring completely. There's a bathroom with toilet and basin, 2 x assisted showers with toilet and basin, 1 x accessible shower with toilet and basin, 1 x accessible toilet with basin and a baby changing room with toilet and basin. All cubicles are completely private so although they are unisex there is no chance that anyone would walk in on another guest.
If the allocated pitch was at the bottom and it wasn't suitable you could have simply asked the reception to move you, reception is open 0830-1700 daily except Sunday.
The outdoor pool closed after the school holidays, it's very expensive to heat and with the very unpredictable weather and staff returning to college we couldn't keep it open. I apologise if this information is not shown on Pitchup, I will ensure the details are updated. We have a fantastic indoor pool which is open from 0800-1300 & 1400-1800. Both pools are free of charge. If you enjoy outdoor swimming the beach is only 10 minutes drive from the park.
Once again I apologise that we didn't meet your requirements, it's never our intention to upset our guest.
