  • 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.

A quiet, private spot with plenty of space. Hosts are lovely and helpful, facilities are spotless and warm. Kids love the skate park. Just needs bins and recycling.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Wonderful hosts, beautiful location, amazing skatepark. We couldn't have asked more for a camping holiday location, and seeing our daughter spark an interest in skateboarding was so cool - the environment was perfect, really relaxed and friendly - no pressure just fun. Oh and the showers/facilities are great too! Kids (and us) didn't want to leave, however long you're planning to stay, book two extra nights because you won't want to go home!

We have already booked to return 😊

Liked Incredible showers! Beautifully warm, high pressure and no annoying press buttons to keep them on. Plots were shady and secluded and the site was small and safe. Toilet block was clean, spacious and well stocked with TP and soap.

Disliked Having to leave!

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked It was a lovely stay, really peaceful but still a short drive to amenities. Hosts were an absolute delight and answered all questions. Also….. PROPER SHOWERS AND BATHS! This was amazing. Always clean and pleasant. Will absolutely be booking again.

Disliked The only thing was we decided to book the day of the local farmer harvesting the field directly behind the site. Obviously this was no fault of the host and was not ongoing through the night, was just a little dusty.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Extremely peaceful and spacious pitches in a beautiful natural setting. Good, clean facilities and it never felt crowded, in fact we were hardly aware of other campers most of the time. Erin, Hamish and the rest of the team were friendly and helpful. I don’t think the website does the nature of the campsite justice: the indoor skate park and the event area seemed much less of a feature when we were there which we were pleased about as we did have reservations about them being noisy which they weren’t at all. We have camped in many beautiful sites in the Lakes, Wales, Shropshire and Devon and Dorset and this is our new favourite. In our top three and we’ve been camping for 40 years !

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This campsite is a real hidden gem! The owners, Erin and Hamish, are incredibly friendly and welcoming, as are the other members of staff. The site has a magical, fairy-grotto feel, and the tent pitches are charmingly named with signs such as "Barn Owl" and "Woodpecker."

The facilities are excellent, with both indoor and outdoor showers, as well as clean and well-maintained toilet blocks. There is plenty of space, allowing you to camp near others if you enjoy the social side of camping, or choose a more private spot if you prefer.

It really has everything you could want from a campsite. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Disliked Nothing, really. The only thing worth noting is that if you're arriving by bike or on foot, the campsite is quite remote. That's part of its charm if you're looking to switch off and enjoy some peace and quiet, but it's worth making sure you bring all the provisions you'll need, as shops and other amenities are not close by.

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.
