  • 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.

What customers say

Top marks for spacious pitches, spotless facilities & friendly staff. Lovely setting, handy location. Pool & games room a hit, though some say they shut too soon. Access road can be dusty, showers a bit hit-or-miss, but most can't wait to come back.

Orchard non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent site, quiet but family friendly. Great location. Clean and great toilets/showers. Some lovely shaded areas which was great in the heatwave.

Disliked Nothing really. Worth knowing we had to book sessions at the pool in advance just so we knew what to expect.

 Helena B. 2 reviews

Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site is vey spacious with large pitches, the swimming pool is amazing, very clean and a bonus facility on a campsite. The staff are lovely and very helpful, we decided to extend our stay and thankfully didn’t have to move pitches and they reorganised our ferry tickets. The site is in a great location, close to a Morrisons and easy access to the islands attractions.

Disliked Tractors with trailers were going through the site as early as 5am, even on a Saturday which were very loud and woke everyone up but you got used to it.
A communal fridge would be a great addition.

Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)

Liked It was great for the Children and we had a really enjoyable visit, we had plenty of room on our pitch and we were close to the pool and park which was great for the children.
facilities were clean and children enjoyed the pool, park and the games room.
If you are traveling in a car we found that it was a great location to where we needed, its also close to supermarkets.
we have previously stayed here and this was our return holiday.

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…
