  • Traditional family-run site with a view of the Shanklin Downs
  • A five-minute drive from Shanklin; half-price ferries can be arranged
  • Farm location with miles of bridleways directly from the site
Think there’ll be plenty of scenery to feast your eyes on while idling around the Isle of Wight? You’d be absolutely correct – and some of the most top-notch views are to be seen around Willow Brook Camping. Don’t quite believe it? Simply check out the pics of this traditional, family-run site on Ninham Farm, then potter over here in the summer and during school holidays. Its grounds have prime panoramas of the Shanklin Downs in the distance and are a five-minute drive from the sandy and scenic beaches of Shanklin and Sandown. The park’s eco-friendly owners encourage you to forget about the car and walk (40 minutes) or cycle (15 minutes) to the seaside – they follow a leave-nothing-but-footprints way of life, backed up by planet-saving touches like 100% renewable energy and excellent recycling facilities. If you’re fully up for embracing this ethos, head off along the footpaths and bridleways leading directly from the site towards some of the island’s most stunning countryside and beaches. The Victorian-era town of Shanklin is also accessible on foot (less than 30 minutes) and a couple of supermarkets are less than 15 minutes' stroll away. With a low number of people permitted on site and level grass pitches to complement the mature hedges and woodlands, this park has simple and secluded vibes. In line with this, the washrooms and shower facilities are basic but clean. The team can arrange half-price ferry tickets for you, helping you save on your travel.

What customers say

Willow Brook Camping gets thumbs up for friendly staff, roomy, clean pitches and a great base for exploring the Isle of Wight. Toilets, showers and washing-up areas are clean, with plenty of hot water. It's a peaceful spot with a play area for families. A few minor gripes about short shower timers and hawthorn thorns, plus a wish for a freezer. Most guests loved it and want to come back.

Local attractions

Got your walking boots and bike ready to go? Great – this site’s a fab base for investigating the many sights and attractions of the Isle of Wight by foot or on two wheels. Start off in Shanklin Chine (40 minutes’ walk), strolling around the gorge in this nature reserve, or amble down beside the coast and across the beaches and cliffs. In town there are shows to see at the theatre, cream teas to be eaten in the pubs and deck chairs to laze in on the sand. If you’ve got animal-loving nippers to appease, wander to the Amazon World Zoo (35 minutes) or dawdle to the Donkey Sanctuary (five minutes’ drive); you’ll also need to jump in the car for other Isle of Wight attractions like The Needles, a series of sharp-looking rocks poking out of the sea (40 minutes), and the flower-filled Ventnor Botanic Garden (15 minutes). For a break from nature, historical hotspots on the island include Appuldurcombe House (10 minutes), an 18th-century English baroque manor, as well as the old royal residence of Osborne, a former fave of Queen Victoria (20 minutes).
