  • 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.

What customers say

This cracking, peaceful site boasts spick-and-span, roomy facilities. Big, private pitches, friendly staff, and a ripper pool/games room for the mob. A few grumbles about noise, tricky tracks for bikes, and a bit of signage confusion. Still, heaps want to come back!

Orchard powered grass tent or trailer tent site (XL)

Liked Quiet during the day and most importantly during the night.
The pitches are large and very well spaced out, they are also divided by hedges so feel quite private. There are also quite a few nice trees dotted about that look nice and give some shade from the sun.
The staff were very freindly.
The toilet block is large and the toilets all clean and good.
The pool was great and temperature just right.
The games room was good with new looking pools tables.
There are plenty of walks near by for those that like to walk from the campsite.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Hikers & Cyclists unpowered grass tent site

Liked Really lovely campsite. Really spacious and well organized. Excellent staff running it. Very friendly, helpful & welcoming. Excellent location close to Shanklin, Sandown & Ventnor. Lovely clean and ample facilities.

Disliked There is no clear signage to the campsite. Its location is very unclear which after a long bike ride can be quite frustrating. The reception area and campsite are slightly hidden from view. This was the only issue for me but frustrating none-the-less. It seems lots of people ask the farmhouse next door as the man immediately knew what I was looking for. Google Maps location was also inaccurate which didn’t help.

Hikers & Cyclists unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely, friendly campsite! I felt very welcome and well looked after throughout my stay. Brad and his partner run the campsite exceptionally well. Everything is clean, tidy, and well organised. I honestly couldn't fault it – the layout, facilities, and cleanliness are all excellent. Highly recommended. Five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Disliked The only thing I disliked was that the campsite signage is quite easy to miss, especially if you're arriving by bike or on foot, as I was. The site was a little difficult to find because the signs simply say "Private Land," which made me think I was in the wrong place. As a result, I cycled past the entrance several times, which was frustrating after a long day's ride in hot weather.

When I stopped to ask at the neighbouring farm, they seemed familiar with people having difficulty finding the campsite, so it may be a common issue. Better or clearer signage would make arriving much easier for first-time visitors.

Orchard powered grass caravan site

Liked Beautiful place great pitch full hook up with amazing views, peaceful and felt in middle of countryside even with local amenities nearby, great friendly staff big shout out to dianne and husband who helped me put awning on rail as I’m too short ! Weather was quite shocking for June but it was a lovely holiday

Disliked Toilet and shower areas , could do with more stools in showers as only one had one to put stuff on. Friend used disability facilities few issues but staff explained.

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…
