Camping at its most traditional… and in a peaceful spot tucked away on a family-run working farm in the Isle of Wight. Retro Staycations, a few minutes’ drive from Ryde, is a place that’s been heavily influenced by nostalgic holiday vibes and makes a fine place to stay with family, friends, your partner, your dog – whoever wants to tag along, really. As the site is part of a farm, there are plenty of cute animals to make friends with while you’re here – look out for sheep, pigs and cows in the neighbouring fields and wildlife including rabbits and red squirrels. The accommodation areas are within a pretty meadow that’s got heaps of space and lovely views over the surrounding downs area. In keeping with the retro vibe, facilities here have been kept on the simple side – guests have access to a toilet block with toilets and showers (and heating, for a nice modern boost), washing-up sinks and a chemical disposal point. A farm shop on site sells local produce (eggs, milk, veg and local meat), and of course you’ll be allowed to light a barbecue or off-ground firepit to help you cook your meals and keep warm. Nearby Ryde is your closest hub for shops and places to eat, and it’s also a popular resort with sandy beaches, and some smart Georgian and Victorian architecture. Handily, it’s also one of the island’s ferry ports; ask in advance and the site can provide you with details of discounted ferry travel for guests.
