Touring and camping

  • Half a mile from sandy Shanklin beach
  • Kids' clubs, pool, spa pool, diner, bar and restaurant
  • Varied entertainment in the evenings
Location, location, location… Lower Hyde Holiday Park is only half a mile from the glorious sandy sweep of Shanklin Beach, one of the most popular spots on the Isle of Wight. If the sun has got his hat on, you can stretch out on the loungers beside the heated outdoor pool and watch the kids zoom down the flume; if it’s raining, there’s a spa pool inside instead. And whatever the forecast, you can look lively with a kickabout on the all-weather sports court. The site also has the Barnhouse bar and restaurant, and evening entertainment is sorted at the spacious Squires Showbar with its busy schedule of live bands, discos and cabaret. Lower Hyde also has a full range of kids' clubs, with characters such as Sparky to keep the younger ones fizzing, and suitably cool activities such as film making for teens.

What customers say

This well-located spot has spacious sites & friendly staff. Facilities are usually clean, though some found them dated. On-site amenities like pools & arcades are family favourites. Most reviews are good, but a few mentioned toilet cleanliness, noise, & a need for more dog areas.

GARY D.

Powered grass campsite

Liked A great site, large pitches, very quiet, close to Shanklin town, supermarkets and beach. Plenty of walking/cycling routes nearby. We found facilities very well kept and cleaned, previous contrary reviews a little unfair as it is the lack of respect by campers that lead to sub standard conditions during busy periods and not a lack of attention by staff!

Disliked Wifi very poor, arrange your own, phone signal is good! Rather a long walk to entertainment complex.

Liked The staff I encountered were friendly.

Disliked The showers/toilets were absolutely disgusting. Sign on the door states they’re cleaned twice a day, but sign in sheets showed they were cleaned once at 04:00, and even then they were in exactly the same state. Bins were overflowing. Mould and grime in every shower, even the shower curtains were like a science experiment. Does not look like the showers were cleaned EVER. Toilets were a Petri dish of bacteria. Every single one full of streaks and unflushed “deposits”. Men’s toilets were sickening.

I understand that if you choose to camp you open yourself up to noise - but we were woken each morning by screaming children before 06:00. Sites are well maintained, which was a plus, but the noise levels were just too much.

We landed up packing up and leaving 2 days early. We just could not continue with the facilities. Lots of money forfeited for substandard cleanliness.

Liked A lovely site with plenty of amenities and a Lidl within a short walk of the park entrance. Very friendly staff and other campers

Disliked The ground was quite hard on the pitch but after the dry weather it was to be expected. We had to pitch towards the edge of the pitch as there was a large area that was just dusty ground but it was plenty big enough.

The showers were great in the morning but got intermittent during the day, and could have done with being cleaned/ serviced more regularly as the toilet roll ran out in both male and female toilets during the early evening/ late afternoon that weren’t replaced until what I guess was the first clean of the following day.

Local attractions

Aside from its fab beach, Shanklin also has a good variety of shops, seaside amusements and eateries, with some of the best examples of the latter to be found in the Old Village, a picture-perfect cluster of thatched cottages and winding streets. The Shanklin Chine is a lovely wooded gorge with waterfalls and nature trails, and is doubly atmospheric when it’s lit up on summer evenings. For those who like exploring by bike or Shank’s pony, there are miles of footpaths and cycling tracks around Lower Hyde Holiday Park. Some of the Isle of Wight’s most popular family attractions are nearby too, including Carisbrooke Castle, Dinosaur Isle and the Blackgang Chine theme park.
