  • Friendly family park less than a mile from Shanklin
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, playground, bar and restaurant
  • Live entertainment all year at sister park next door
If you’re looking for a smallish holiday park in a quieter and relaxed location, but with easy access to a good range of facilities, have a little look at Landguard Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight. This friendly site, set in pretty woodland, has its own outdoor and indoor pools (plus curly-whirly slide), a good playground and activity clubs for children up to the age of 11, amusements, a bar, restaurant and takeaway. Venture off site to the nearby seaside resort of Shanklin (less than one mile away) for sandy beaches, arcades, and entertainment aplenty. In peak season, there are family shows in the evenings in the Jesters Club: at quieter times, guests have access to Landguard’s sister site next door, Lower Hyde Holiday Park, which has live entertainment all year.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We're very you didn't enjoy your recent stay at Landguard, we certainly never want our guests to feel unwelcome. I do hope you were able to raise any concerns with our dedicated Guest Experience Team in Reception, so that they could look to try and resolve these issues during your time with us. I will also take the time to share your review with the relevant teams you've provided feedback for, so that we can work to make improvements.

Caroline R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Shielded from wind..... toilet blocks clean. Pitches OK ish size.

Disliked: Reception closed more than open, number for contact is unreachable when u need a member of staff they ain't around and leaving voicemail just gets ignored. Daughter was ill with high levels of chlorine ( tested by staff n confirmed high ) in drinking water! Loud noise late at night is allowed the noise policy is 11.30 I thought it was a family site not party site guess I was wrong...... very noisy site not great for families with young children that need to sleep. Fire pits not allowed but people having them and using twigs/tree branches etc to burn off surrounding trees! Entertainment poor I've put a complaint in to site n even thou I was on site when submitted complaint no one bothered to come speak to me to try put anything right! Plz AVOID

From the manager: Hi Caroline, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We're very you didn't enjoy your recent stay at Landguard, this certainly isn't the experience we wanted you to have. I do hope your Daughter is okay, and that you were able to raise any concerns with our dedicated Guest Experience Team in Reception, so that they could look to try and resolve these issues during your time with us. I will also take the time to share your review with the relevant teams you've provided feedback for, so that we can work to make improvements. We're also sorry to hear you were kept awake by your neighbours, we do have a quiet policy on park that guests should be respectful of others and start to lower any noise after 11pm, so it's disappointing to hear that this wasn't your experience on this occasion. I do hope this experience won't deter you from visiting one of our 65 Holiday Parks again in future. ^AB

Local attractions

Landguard Holiday Park is only a mile from the centre of Shanklin, where guests will find excellent shopping, a pretty seafront and sheltered sands – there’s even a lift to transport holidaymakers to the clifftops to take in the spectacular views across the bay. Visitors may feel the need to make repeat trips to Shanklin’s Old Village, to sample a decent number of the cute tea rooms and classic pubs set among the very comely thatched cottages… Also well worth a trip are Alum Bay, famed for its rainbow sands, the stone Needles, chair lift and other family attractions; and the Victorian seaside town of Ventnor, a favourite holiday spot of Charles Dickens, with its 22 acres of beaut botanic gardens.
