Chapelfurlong Farm

Líbí se Location

Nelíbí se Single toilet although clean was not adequate for the whole campsite and was also used occasionally by ramblers passing through

Entry to field had big troughs in it from agricultural use and should have been repaired levelled or gravelled for normal cars. Was slippery to the point of wheelspin and grounding the underside of my vehicle after heavy rain .

Owners gave us a two days notice of a festival style party to which were invited on the camping field for a large number of people with live music . This would have not been a problem if the music had not continued at full volume until 2 a.m . The fall out from the party continued on much later than the conclusion of the music. The aforementioned only toilet on the site had been isolated from the camping field prior to the party guests arrival, barricaded off with a plastic barrier and by a a truck and a trailer so it was accessible within the party area and pretty much inaccessible to those camping unless one wanted to walk through the party in one’s pyjamas. It remained an obstacle course to reach the toilet the next morning unassisted by the plastic beer glasses strewn across the campsite and the disguarded chilli con carne on the floor.

All in all despite the pleasantries from the owner and it being mostly peaceful and in a good location for the beauty of West Wight, the field and the entrance needed some attention.

Disappointments:

The use of the campsite for a personal festival style party of significant size to such a late hour with complete disregard as to whether paying guests (and their children and their dogs) wanted to be awake into the early hours ,

The abrupt awakening after three hours sleep courtesy of a party guest joyriding unchallenged up and down the field on a motorcycle

The barricading of the route to the WC in favour of party goers despite it being to the detriment of campers

All the above was unacceptable and left me feeling less like a paying guest and more like our presence was an inconvenience.

Líbí se A welcoming, beautiful site to get back to nature and enjoy what camping is all about on a working farm with lovely owners (and dogs!). Field well prepared, facilities simple but spotless and efficient. All behind the village pub, The Sun Inn! In our hurried and busy world its hard to get back to simplicity and nature, this is it, enjoy views and peace, and at night dark sky park stars are stunning!

Líbí se Great views; easy to find; next to a pub; sheltered (and flatter!) at the top of the field, thanks to the hedge. Friendly and communicative owners.

Nelíbí se We didn't dislike the farm dogs being around – they're a lovely, playful pair – but some people might be surprised by them loping over to investigate and maybe bark at newcomers.

Líbí se The lack of frills, only basic facilities, all clean and working.

The fantastic views.

The peace and quiet

Nelíbí se One bloody sheep in the next field bawling for her lamb at 5am. Couldn't believe one sheep could be so loud. Or shriek for so long.

Líbí se Lovely place to stay, just myself and two small children. Welcoming hosts and my little boy got to have a ride in their digger which was an unexpected win! Would definitely go back again.

Líbí se This was a great little campsite. The kids and dog had space to run free and the toilet and sink were always really clean. The owners were really friendly and helpful and the pub next door did great food and was really family friendly. The walk to the beach was easy even for the youngest child and the beach was great.

Líbí se Basic but brilliant 2 nights camping, beach nearby, views of cliffs, clean toilet and wash sink in solid wooden structure with handsoap, loo rolls, hooks for lanterns, towel etc. Solar powered light bit unreliable so take a torch, lantern etc.
Only one other camper when we were there. Pub near if required but we bbqed. Owners welcomed us and came down to say goodbye as well. Bins and recycling bin provided.

Nelíbí se View of cliffs and surrounding fields only possible due to being on a hill so site is quite sloped.
Farm dogs visited when bbqing (although v well behaved) which was fine for us but might not be if you don't like dogs.
Site can be windy so bring plenty of pegs.

Líbí se Ideal location for a 2 day cycle around the island. Great base for a couple of walks and a great pub a 2 min walk away. Jackie went above and beyond to help me out, she even drove to the pub to ask what their opening times were and then found me to let me know. Friendly dogs too!
