  • 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

Campers like the roomy sites, friendly staff (esp. Ricky), and handy location. Washrooms get mixed reviews: some clean & hot, others need upgrades/work. Family entertainment's a hit. Food/drink pricey, Wi-Fi spotty. Management's fixing washroom upkeep.

Liked The site is lovely, we were quite near the toilets and shower block although i still had to drive there due to mobility issues. They were clean and the shower was lovely and hot and a stool supplied in there which was a relief. We would definitely go again. The staff were lovely and very welcoming and allowed us to check in early as it wasnt busy.

Disliked The price for 1 and a half pints of coke in the diner over £8 which we thought was expensive. We had a traditional breakfast and we weren't impressed. It was £20.99 for the 2 with a flat white coffee each. The breakfast was mushrooms, fried egg, 1 sausage, bacon, hash brown and beans. The mushrooms were stone cold, the hash brown was soggy too. The breakfast wasnt cooked fresh, it had clearly been nuked in a microwave. I wouldn't order that again. I was going to complain but we were just so hungry we put up and shut up.

Liked Location was great shanklin was a lovely area with lots to do around the island. Club house was great and loads of space

Disliked Asked to be next the toilet block as I’m disabled and was told wasn’t available and was put on the other side of the site even tho there wasn’t anyone on site the whole time we was there. Rain was terrible and the pitch was very poor with mud and rain destroying our pitch and equipment ended up leaving a day earlier due to this

Liked Plenty to do. Attractive campsite setting. Good location. Large, level and well placed pitches. Entertainment and arcades were good.

Disliked Cleanliness of shower & toilet area was poor. The mens and the womens areas looked like they needed a deep clean. It was not pleasant to use. The floor was dirty, lime scale was abundant and there was hair on the walls.

Liked It was a lovely place to hang out and camp. We were in our campervan, there was a great bike path that lead from the site which gave us a fab 25 mile cycle to Godshill and beyond. Entertainment was great, little shop was really handy and close to all the places we wanted to visit.

Disliked Only thing I could mention was the showers weren’t very good - they dribbled out rather than a good power .

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.
