Touring and camping

  • Half a mile from sandy Shanklin beach
  • Kids' clubs, pool, spa pool, diner, bar and restaurant
  • Varied entertainment in the evenings
Location, location, location… Lower Hyde Holiday Park is only half a mile from the glorious sandy sweep of Shanklin Beach, one of the most popular spots on the Isle of Wight. If the sun has got his hat on, you can stretch out on the loungers beside the heated outdoor pool and watch the kids zoom down the flume; if it’s raining, there’s a spa pool inside instead. And whatever the forecast, you can look lively with a kickabout on the all-weather sports court. The site also has the Barnhouse bar and restaurant, and evening entertainment is sorted at the spacious Squires Showbar with its busy schedule of live bands, discos and cabaret. Lower Hyde also has a full range of kids' clubs, with characters such as Sparky to keep the younger ones fizzing, and suitably cool activities such as film making for teens.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Pitches were generous sized, 20 minute walk to Shanklin beach.

Disliked: There is no dog walking area on the park itself. Tourer site bathrooms were not particularly clean- mould and hairs on wall of showers, and shower curtains were mouldy. Nowhere to put dry belongings in showers. A shelf or more hooks would be useful

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Pitch was large and secluded. Electric hook up included in price. Friendly on site staff. Warm and clean toilet / shower block. Easy access to railway station, supermarkets and high street shops. I travelled by push bike and there is a great onsite cycle hire shop offering free ebike charging (bring your own charger). This is my second stay and I plan to visit the Isle of Wight each year from now on. Lower Hyde Holiday Park will be my first choice due to it's great location and clean, modern facilities. A very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite was clean.

Disliked: No toilet roll in the female loos a lot of the time. The drinking water contained toomuch chlorine, we found this our by smell and a quick search online.. no one told us not to drink it, resulting in my 10 week old baby having sickness and diarrhea, when we called the site they said the whole Island was contaminated, this is not true and we think it is disgusting that we were not warned.

Local attractions

Aside from its fab beach, Shanklin also has a good variety of shops, seaside amusements and eateries, with some of the best examples of the latter to be found in the Old Village, a picture-perfect cluster of thatched cottages and winding streets. The Shanklin Chine is a lovely wooded gorge with waterfalls and nature trails, and is doubly atmospheric when it’s lit up on summer evenings. For those who like exploring by bike or Shank’s pony, there are miles of footpaths and cycling tracks around Lower Hyde Holiday Park. Some of the Isle of Wight’s most popular family attractions are nearby too, including Carisbrooke Castle, Dinosaur Isle and the Blackgang Chine theme park.
