  • 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.

Nicole S.

Orchard unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked This is a lovely site, really nice atmosphere and a very peaceful place. The facilities were always immaculate and the pitches were a great size. We loved that they are allocated so we could come/go in our tentbox without losing our spot! Even down to the little dog biscuits for our pup, this site thought of every detail!

Disliked Nothing!

Orchard powered grass trailer tent or tent site (XL)

Liked Beautiful location, very peaceful. Grounds are well looked after and in small sections with lots of trees to add privacy.
Good facilities - very clean shower block, lots of washing up sinks, and a laundry room. Games room was great, and outside play area and badminton court/table tennis. Pool was really nice and there is a small pool for toddlers which was a nice bonus!

Disliked No visitors are allowed onsite which I wasn’t aware of before hand. I think it is documented on their website but wasn’t included in the email sent out which outlined the park rules. This is beneficial as it keeps the park small and use of facilities for guests only, however we were visiting my father in law and it would have been nice for him to visit the campsite and join us for a bbq one evening.

Orchard unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Friendly and helpful staff, large flat pitches which took pegs easily, clean toilet and shower block, good location to walk from, swimming pool excellent. The Isle of Wight seems underrated as a holiday spot and if you want to explore it, this is a great base.

Adam N.

Hikers & Cyclists unpowered grass tent site

Liked The site was the cleanest and quietest site I’d ever been to! The pool was definitely the highlight, thanks to the weather. It’s in a beautiful setting surrounded by fields with a 20 minute walk to Shanklin through country lanes. (If arriving by foot, come through the lanes from Shanklin, not on the main road from Lake, as there is no footpath). My 11 year old daughter loved the retro pinball and air hockey machines in the games room - bring pound coins!!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Highly recommended We'll be back!!

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…
