  • Pop-up Isle of Wight family site at a tree-lined field in Brading
  • Sandown beach and Wildheart Animal Sanctuary five minutes' drive
  • Firepits and watersports kit to hire; shops and pubs five mins' walk
Bed down among the butterflies and mini beasts that flutter around among the wildflowers at Sunrise Hill Campsite – this off-grid pop-up Isle of Wight site is an eco-friendly setup with wildflower patches and conservation areas to give guests a real feeling of staying in a natural environment. Sunrise Hill is a family site in the little village of Brading, about 10 minutes' drive from Ryde. It’s a peaceful and pretty spot with lovely rural views, and yet handily it’s only a few minutes’ walk from the village’s pubs, shops, fish and chip takeaway and train station. Several of the island’s top beaches are a short drive away, but as the Isle of Wight is a compact place even the opposite end of the island is only about 40 minutes' drive away from this eastern location. Pitches are sheltered and shaded by the leylandii trees that surround the camping field, and they have access to simple facilities including compost toilets, showers and drinking water. There’s also a small collection of firepits, ice baths and watersports kit for guests to hire, although you’re welcome to bring your own barbecue or off-ground firepit along if you prefer. This is a family-friendly spot too, with play areas for the kids – and plenty of chances to get stuck into foraging for blackberries in the bushes.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The location, just outside the village of Brading was quiet and felt peacefully remote although only a few minutes walk to the pubs, shops and convenience store. You can hear the rabbits hopping about in the night and a horse in the next field.

Disliked: A few mosquitoes will home in on you in the loo if you haven’t prepared!

Local attractions

There's some gorgeous countryside around here to keep walkers, cyclists and nature lovers busy for many a day – you may like to look out for red squirrels at Alverstone Mead, follow the Bembridge Trail or take a wander around the National Trust’s Bembridge Fort and Downs (all about 10 minutes’ drive away). If spotting wildlife on site has got you wondering what else you might be able to see around here, head out for more animal sightings at places like Wildheart Animal Sanctuary (five minutes), Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary (15 minutes) or Amazon World Zoo (15 minutes). Dinosaur Isle (five minutes) is another popular place to visit (even though its residents are not all that lively any more…) For beach time, you may like to head down into Sandown (five minutes) or along to Shanklin (10 minutes); a little further takes you to the sandy beach in Ventnor (25 minutes) or the rockpools of Steephill Cove (25 minutes). Top attractions like Osborne House, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and Blackgang Chine are all within a half-hour drive too.
