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.

Orchard powered grass tent or trailer tent site (XL)

Liked: The bike trails on our doorstep, heated outside pool, friendly and helpful staff, hot showers, games room, spacious pitch, pretty campsite, located close enough to shops but far enough away that you feel like you’re away from it all and loved the beaches nearby.

Disliked: Pool and games room closed a little early for us (pool at 6pm and games room 8pm) but appreciate it’s fine for families with younger children and campsite staff need time away and to get home too.

Orchard fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked: This is the best campsite we've stayed at. The pitches were large and flat. The toilet and shower block was exceptionally clean. The staff could not have been friendlier. The swimming pool was lovely and there was a lot of play equipment for kids. Location was perfect for exploring the Isle of Wight.

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…
