What customers say
Clean campsite, super friendly staff, and ample space. Facilities are top-notch, with modern showers. Pool and games room are big hits with families. Really peaceful spot with beautiful scenery. Some found pool bookings a bit tricky, but everyone loved it and wants to come back!

Orchard electric grass trailer tent or tent pitch (XL)
Liked A beautiful site in the perfect location for exploring this corner of the Isle of Wight.
Plots were huge, facilities were immaculate and the pool was a real hit!
The bridleways around the site allow you to explore on bikes or on foot and it is a stones throw to the red squirrel trail and Shanklin railway station.
The staff really take pride in the site and we so friendly.
Disliked Nothing!

Lovely site with clean facilities, helpful & well spaced pitches.
Orchard non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Clean and well kept facilities. Plenty of space and well maintained pitches. Staff friendly and helpful. Good location within walking distance of large supermarket and Sandown beach. Once on site far enough to be in countryside/natural surroundings. Would definitely stay here again.

An overall wonderful stay on an immaculate site.
Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A beautifully maintained, peaceful site.
Warm welcome at check in. Useful welcome pack provided with site info and clear pitching guidance. Guided to our pitch by the management - for festival weary travellers this was so handy!
Huge pitch, very level and no problem getting pegs in or out.
Layout made for reasonably safe areas for kids to play freely in without site traffic concerns.
Landscaping - formal planting around the facilities, hedge/shrub/fenced boundaries in pitching zones, established trees across the site and nice little wilded areas made for a lovely setting.
Ability to rent an electric cable.
Five star facilities - showers, loos and laundry area all maintained extremely well.
Lack of insects bothering us, the odd wasp but no aggression.
Water points easy to access across site.
Ability to book time at the pool so it wasn't over crowded. Yes it was cold but fine once you'd been in for a few minutes. Importantly it was super clean.
Other campers were pretty good at sticking to quiet hours and being respectful of the facilities.
Communal sinks to wash dishes in were large, numerous and clean.
Meeting locals on a day out and finding out the high regard the site is held in by them read nice :)
Easy access to local shops, supermarkets and places to go with kids from the site.
Disliked I only mention the below for consideration of future visitors and management as we didn't have time to report / discuss these prior to our departure. I haven't rated the site down at all because of these points but we always give thorough and public feedback on our reviews.
Rental deposit for electric cable seemed high (£50 when I'm sure an exact replacement is selling for £39 online right now).
Washing machine drum is huge but the cycle, which was supposed to wash at 40°C, baked the clothes to the extent I almost couldn't handle them on taking them out of the machine.
Tumble Dryer drum also huge but after paying £5 for a complete cycle it hadn't come anywhere near close to drying a single thing - we were lucky the weather made for easy outdoors drying but worth bearing in mind in weather that may not be as good.
This final point is for anyone who isn't familiar with the surrounding area. This site is in a gorgeous setting but note there is active farmland surrounding it ... Which we discovered at 5-6am on departure day when a very loud tractor was deployed nearby waking our kids and continued to the point we couldn't get them back to sleep.

Top class campsite
Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent location, lovely campsite . Amazing shower/toilet block , always keep extremely clean . Very quiet at night .
Disliked I would have gave this campsite 10 stars but unfortunately I have had to mark it down slightly due to the field next to the campsite having what I can only imagine as a combine harvester doing its thing at 4:30am on the last 2 nights . So loud it woke the family and we had no chance of getting back to sleep as it went on for hours . Hopefully this was a one off and we were unlucky with the timing . I would book again .

Orchard electric grass trailer tent or tent pitch (XL)
Liked Absolutly love it here. Campsite is clean and quiet. Shower and toilet facilities are immaculate and the cleaners are present throughout the day. Never had to wait to use them. Used the washing machine/tumble drier and everything came out great.
Pool was lovely, water was the perfect temperature and not overcrowded.
Reception were welcoming and helpful.
A few minutes drive from supermarket. Heard tawny owls and green woodpeckers most mornings as well as many other birds.
Disliked Not really a dislike but if i had to say anything that would improve our stay it would have been nice to be able to get cold drinks/ice cream on site near the pool

Orchard electric grass trailer tent or tent pitch (XL)
Liked Everything. It was clean, well kept and just an amazing site and the pool is brill to have too.
The staff are really friendly and welcoming.
The pitches are really large, there’s lots of toilets and showers.
It’s 25min walk from the beach and shorter time walk to the shops.
There’s loads of walk/bike paths leading from the site.
It says it all when a family said they have been coming to the site for ten years in a row and we will be returning next year for longer, already planning it all now and we have just got back.
4000 letters is not enough to praise the site, just go and see for yourself
