  • Isle of Wight park with spectacular views and top-notch facilities
  • Relax in the garden conservatory or run amok with the kids
  • Shower and bathroom facilities with underfloor heating
'The best campsite we've ever stayed at' is just one of the excellent accolades piled upon the Isle of Wight's The Orchards Holiday Park, where guests feel in firm agreement with The Orchards' assessment of its facilities as 'top-notch'. Said facilities include toilets, showers, a family-sized bathroom and a washing-up area and launderette, all with underfloor heating. During busier times, the site also opens up a ladies' vanity area, a family shower room, a baby-changing room and wheelchair-accessible amenities. Things are top-notch leisurewise too, with a heated outdoor pool open from late May to late August, an indoor pool open all season, a poolside coffee shop, pool and ping pong tables and a recreation area. There are two play areas – one for under-fives and one for older kids – as well as a dog exercise area. And the views, the location and the atmosphere here all regularly get top billing here as well: The Orchards is a relaxed and friendly park with an amicable and helpful team, set near Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight's western rural side and coming with first-rate views (this is among the most scenic washing up you'll ever do). Finally, if you want to take the hassle out of ferry bookings on your journey to and from the island, the Orchards team can help arrange your travel: just let them know after you book.

Liked: Beautiful site with clean facilities, kids Loved the free pool with reasonable opening times without having to book. Shop open for essentials and take away was delicious & great value for money. Great location with field views. Free WiFi. Not too over crowded. Spaced pitches. Laundrette washers & dryers are of a high standard. Plentiful showers, sinks & loos never need to wait even at peak times in school holidays.

Disliked: None.

Liked: Friendly staff, clean shower blocks with wc, large washing area for doing dishes always clean and a stunning veiw from the area whilst washing up or folding your clean laundry, can also have use if iron and ironing board, disability wash/ toilet were easily accessible and clean. Both swimming pools were clean , pitches were excellent size. Dog park area was great and handy bins for dog poop disposal. Fantastic for kids of all ages with two parks . Takeaway was really lovely on site , shop was really handy selling a aray of goods including dog waste bags . All in all an excellent site would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends .

Liked: Superb site with excellent facilities. The toilet and shower block was probably the best we have ever found, spotlessly clean and spacious. The swimming pool was lovely and the shop was well stocked. The reception staff were really helpful as well. Good bus service from just outside the site was very useful.

Disliked: None

Liked: This was our first time to IOW and we chose this site for the amenities and location. It was our son's first time camping and he absolutely loved it. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools were a hit and the small playground was great to burn off any excess energy. the location was great for Yarmouth and the west side of the island and only 30 minutes from Sandown/Shanklin etc. The staff are a credit to this site and every single one was friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. the cleanliness was really good and the toilet block in particular with a great number of toilets, showers, and sinks. We found the whole experience over the week to be relaxing and fun. If you have young children, the 2 large areas of grass towards the bottom of the park were great for them to play on and our 4 year old made friends very quickly!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all

Local attractions

The Orchards Holiday Park is in west Wight, the more quiet and rural part of the island, but you won't have far to drive to get to all the other islandy attractions ('tis not a big place, the Isle of Wight). And even better news: The Orchards has discount deals arranged for guests with many of the local pubs and attractions. Staying west, miles of pathways can be investigated from the park by foot or pedal (maps as well as details on the team's favourite walks can be found at the park reception), as well as hikes along the coastline with wight pretty scenery and views of the Solent. The sandy beaches of Brook and Compton are a short drive away, as is Newtown Creek, a National Trust nature reserve brimming with birds, butterflies and boat photo opportunities. Also have a look at Chessell Pottery Barns, the Yarmouth outlet with gallery, activities, gift barn and café; or, for history, Calbourne Water Mill and Rural Museum, and the holiday home of Queen Victoria, Osborne House in East Cowes.
