Liked The site was fab. We’ve been to the island plenty but this was our first camping experience on the IOW. Camp Corve was large enough to have plenty of space between pitches in your own little area, and to not be overly disturbed by anyone else or noise from the facilities, but small enough to get everywhere within a 2 minute walk. The site is perfectly located to explore the whole island, with a stunning coastal drive along Military Road not too far away. The owners were available (and friendly) but not intrusive. The site/facilities continued to be clean and tidy for the whole week, without ever really seeing either Hamish or Erin. We didn’t need their assistance during our stay, but they were friendly and helpful when we did encounter them. My son loved the skateboarding lessons, and the purpose built skate park was truly excellent and well crafted. We believe it was a labour of love and it shows! Clear skies every night, lovely birdsong in the mornings. We had a sweet juvenile Robin visit us every day for crumbs of our toast, which was a highlight. The showers were excellent, particularly the outdoor showers in the wooden huts. Perfectly private, really excellent hot water pressure, and the corrugated clear roof really helped warm up the space under the morning sun. There was never a queue for toilets, showers or wash up facilities. Handy plug sockets in the toilet block, with space for electric toothbrush/shaver charging. Lovely space for kids to roam and play on the large tiered field. There were lots of families visiting the same week as us, so it wasn’t necessarily peaceful whilst they were playing, but the evenings were calm and quiet. At £28 per night, we would definitely come back!

Disliked Our only disappointment was the lack of freezer facilities to recharge our freezer packs. We made do with bags of ice from the supermarket but it would be really handy to have a freezer in the future; something Hamish said was an eventual plan.

From the manager: Thank you so much for this amazing review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share it. We love our site, so we’re thrilled to know our campers do too! We’re also really happy you got to see some of our wonderful wildlife up close. We’ll definitely look into providing an onsite freezer in the future.
