  • Family-run park with spacious pitching areas
  • A couple of miles from Sandown Bay and Shanklin
  • Reduced ferry price for customers
Old Barn Touring Park is named after its Grade II-listed thatched barn at the park entrance, now used as a games room for rainy days or lazy hours. It’s a family-run park with pitches all set in a number of small areas secluded by hedges and with only a handful of pitches per spot. A communal patio has free wifi. Once heading off site, there’s a bus running from Newport to Ryde within five minutes’ walk of the park, and the sandy beaches of Sandown Bay and Shanklin are within a couple of miles. Elsewhere on site there’s a tiled amenities block with spacious showers, an outdoor play area for the under-eights, a big family bathroom and a reception area with info on things to do on the Isle of Wight. There’s no food shop, but the site sells camping and Calor gas and has ice pack freezing, and two supermarkets are just down the road. The Old Barn team (friendly and helpful Emma and Gary) can arrange ferries for guests at a reduced price: let them know using the 'special requests' when you book.

What customers say

This friendly, well-kept park offers good value with spacious, private sites and handy amenities. While some find the washrooms dated, they're generally clean. Great location near shops and transit, with the airport a bonus for plane spotters. Staff are always welcoming and helpful.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Lovely site with big pitches and close to a small nearby airport - ideal for small plane enthusiasts!

Disliked Check in a little disorganised, we weren't given the pitch stated on the booking form, was then offered an uneven pitch for a tent (we were a small van) The lovely lady soon rectified and we had a great, flat pitch

Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked Lovely pod, nice clean area with a kettle, plugs and lightning making it more glamorous than a tent.

Clean bathroom facilities and access to great walks.

Disliked BBQ had not been cleaned, disappointing to have cigarette butts in the BBQ tray

Lovely site and Emma could not have been more friendly and welcoming.

Liked Lovely spacious pitches surrounded by hedges. Lots of space and privacy.

Disliked 20p for showers was inconvenient, the site office had change but we kept missing them. Showers and toilets as clean as possible but very old and run down.

Excellent stay, everything was perfect.

Local attractions

The Isle of Wight has history, nature, dinosaurs, museums, award-winning beaches, theme parks and more to explore: start off at nearby Sandown Bay for amusements on the pier and to begin a lope around the 67-mile long Isle of Wight Coast Path to Shanklin and from there to Ventnor. Blackgang Chine, six miles from Ventnor, is now an eccentric amusement park with rides, lifesized plastic dinosaurs and rollercoasters in its Victorian garden setting. Blackgang Chine’s sister site, Robin Hill theme park, just outside Newport, has more rides, a wooden maze, toboggan run and an adventure playground; less excitable types can go to the park’s Combley Roman villa, flutter around the butterfly garden or spot squirrels on the Red Squirrel Safari. Animal enthusiasts have loads to pick from: tigers and other big cats at the Isle of Wight Zoo, over 200 rare and exotic species at Amazon World Zoo Park and the biggest wildlife park on the island, Seaview Wildlife Encounter. For history, the seaside palace of Osborne House was the island hideaway of Queen Victoria and has her own private beach – and bathing machine – now open to the public. There’s also Carisbrooke Castle, where Charles I fled to after escaping captivity at Hampton Court and where he was banged up again by Colonel Hammond: dress up in Civil War clothes here or have a game of bowls on the same green used by the unpopular king.
