  • Family-run park with spacious pitching areas
  • A couple of miles from Sandown Bay and Shanklin
  • Reduced ferry price for customers
Old Barn Touring Park is named after its Grade II-listed thatched barn at the park entrance, now used as a games room for rainy days or lazy hours. It’s a family-run park with pitches all set in a number of small areas secluded by hedges and with only a handful of pitches per spot. A communal patio has free wifi. Once heading off site, there’s a bus running from Newport to Ryde within five minutes’ walk of the park, and the sandy beaches of Sandown Bay and Shanklin are within a couple of miles. Elsewhere on site there’s a tiled amenities block with spacious showers, an outdoor play area for the under-eights, a big family bathroom and a reception area with info on things to do on the Isle of Wight. There’s no food shop, but the site sells camping and Calor gas and has ice pack freezing, and two supermarkets are just down the road. The Old Barn team (a friendly and helpful gang made up of Terry, Emma and Gary) can arrange ferries for guests at a reduced price: let them know using the 'special requests' when you book.

What customers say

Friendly, well-located site with great value. Generous pitches, helpful staff. Some find facilities dated, though generally clean. Close to amenities & exploration, quiet despite airfield. Occasional drain/noise issues reported.

Liked Lovely spacious pitches with beautiful views. The children enjoyed the park.
Perfect location for exploring this part of the island.
The owners were very accommodating helpful.
Will definitely stay again

Disliked Just the showers, 20p for 5 minutes, 2 minutes used waiting for the water to come through warm enough to get in, but never reached a comfortable temperature.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Great size pitch and prices. Fabulous if you're a plane spotter as low flying planes pass over frequently from the near by airport but mostly the site is very quiet. I got some great photos. Good wifi connection.
We would happily use again.

Disliked Facilities ok but could do with a refurbishment

Liked Nice small site with bus link a 5 minute walk, Cafe in a garden centre across the road was nice and a 10 minute walk away from morrissons and a Aldi also a Pub with food and a KFC. The site is a little dated but clean and quiet and good value, the pitches are in small groups with bushes separating the spots of 3 or 4.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Really friendly staff, accommodated our move when our pitch wasn’t to our liking. The site is in close walking distance of the Morrisons and Aldi and Screwfix if any repairs or tools needed. Also bus stop (Cheverton Shute) [w3ws: ///bitter.bulges.prevents] is really close for buses to Newport or Sandown and connections at Sandown high street make it seamless. Short walk to Lake Train Station too. Site itself had ok facilities, not the most amazing but does the job. Pitches are plenty big enough for a decent set up too.

Disliked There were some local’s on the site who looked like residents. Few times in the afternoon we’d hear a full blown domestic argument with plenty of swearing which did make the stay entertaining but isn’t exactly what you’d expect. Bins were often full, not big enough for the site really.

Local attractions

The Isle of Wight has history, nature, dinosaurs, museums, award-winning beaches, theme parks and more to explore: start off at nearby Sandown Bay for amusements on the pier and to begin a lope around the 67-mile long Isle of Wight Coast Path to Shanklin and from there to Ventnor. Blackgang Chine, six miles from Ventnor, is now an eccentric amusement park with rides, lifesized plastic dinosaurs and rollercoasters in its Victorian garden setting. Blackgang Chine’s sister site, Robin Hill theme park, just outside Newport, has more rides, a wooden maze, toboggan run and an adventure playground; less excitable types can go to the park’s Combley Roman villa, flutter around the butterfly garden or spot squirrels on the Red Squirrel Safari. Animal enthusiasts have loads to pick from: tigers and other big cats at the Isle of Wight Zoo, over 200 rare and exotic species at Amazon World Zoo Park and the biggest wildlife park on the island, Seaview Wildlife Encounter. For history, the seaside palace of Osborne House was the island hideaway of Queen Victoria and has her own private beach – and bathing machine – now open to the public. There’s also Carisbrooke Castle, where Charles I fled to after escaping captivity at Hampton Court and where he was banged up again by Colonel Hammond: dress up in Civil War clothes here or have a game of bowls on the same green used by the unpopular king.
