  • Family-friendly site on a hillside wooded glade with an old farmstead
  • A 15-minute drive to Brighstone Bay and 20 minutes to Compton Bay
  • Communal firepit and easy access to footpaths
All set to start your family break on the Isle of Wight? With Camp Corve as your base, it’ll be off to a flying start. The site is surrounded by an ancient woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 15 minutes’ drive away from the nearest family-friendly stretch of sand. What activities might you get stuck into around here? Walking, cycling, skateboarding, sitting around a firepit, swimming and surfing, to list but a few. There's a barn-based skatepark a couple of minutes’ walk away and it’s a five-minute drive to Military Road, which has sweet coastal views and beaches. Beach time? Head for the family-friendly Brighstone Bay, accessible from Grange Chine (15 minutes’ drive), or Compton Bay (20 minutes’ drive) for its north-westerly chalk cliff views and surf school. The quiet leafy lane leading to the site becomes a bridleway that leads onto extensive hikes through Isle of Wight landscapes too. Tucked into a hillside, Camp Corve's wooded glade is on an old farmstead with six acres of space. Vast skies and rolling countryside? Indeed. Private and sheltered by young and mature trees, wild plants and grass? Oh, yes. Birds and small animals also call this place home, so kids won’t be the only ones playing about. No need to sacrifice home comforts here, as the site has a ‘Squirrels and Hedgehogs’ toilet and hot shower building fashioned from recycled bricks from around the old farm. Power sockets are available, as is an accessible toilet. The ‘Ash Circle’ has two communal firepits with logs available and an outdoor sink for washing up. Cars are parked in the farmyard area, where there’s a wheelbarrow-trolley to transport your gear.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Quiet site, very peaceful. Showers were a good temperature. Sites were more private than your typical field camping, with lots of trees for shade on these hot summer days. Footpaths directly from the site.

Disliked Toilets were not cleaned regularly enough. Sinks were always visibly dirty and loo roll was out a couple of times.

There is a big metal walled barn next to the electric pitches, which is not shown in the photos and it detracted from the wooded/nature setting.

Price was expensive for what you get, compared to other campsites on the island.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Layout of the camping ground meant our spot felt quite private, good and clean amenities, some benches floating around for us to sit around on, the skatepark was cool to watch, everything we needed for a bike camp overnight!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and liked the layout of the campsite. We love that our pitches can feel tucked away and private. That was our aim. Great to hear the facilities had everything you needed too, and that you got to enjoy a bit of skatepark action while you were here.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked It’s a really beautiful location! Friendly hosts… thoughtful facilities and washing up! There’s even a bath! We would come back camping- not with a caravan…

Disliked Signage was confusing on arrival with car park pointing into camping area before getting to another car park sign pointing into another direction.
On arrival the whole place sadly felt very run down and drives were extremely uneven. It was unclear where to go or how to check in.
This campsite is not suitable for tourers or motorhomes one for the condition of the drives/roads/acceibilty to pitches and also because you cannot empty toilet waste. Or grey water… maybe it said on the website but if we known we would have camped.

For camping, bell tents and camper vans looked fab!

Disliked Come with provisions!

From the manager: Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re really happy you enjoyed the relaxed feel of Camp Corve and found everything you needed during your stay. Great to hear the bus stop was handy too.

And yes, definitely arrive with provisions. We’re a little tucked away down here, which is part of the charm, but it does mean being prepared helps.

Thank you for recommending us and hopefully we’ll see you again.

Local attractions

With white cliffs and golden sands, the Isle of Wight's coast is likely to snatch your attention. Get the classic golden sand at Brook Bay (15 minutes) and then track down the traditional fishing cove Steephill Cove (15 minutes). If you want a vintage kind of beach day, head to Ventnor (20 minutes) to hire traditional beach huts with wheels. Blackgang Chine (10 minutes) is another spot full of heritage – it's famed as the UK’s oldest amusement park. The 400-foot drop tower has views of the sea before the big drop. Those of you keen on gathering some historical knowledge can pay a visit to Carisbrooke Castle (15 minutes), Mottistone Gardens and Estate (20 minutes), Model Village Godshill (10 minutes) or the 88-acre Robin Hill (20 minutes). The Needles Landmark Attraction (half an hour), of course, is a must-see with views of white cliffs and demos like glass blowing or sweet making. A botanic garden, zoos and a farm park are within a short drive of the site.
