Pitches with views (added by manager 30 Aug 2022)

Scenic and secluded pop-up farm site with views of the Shorwell Downs
A 15-minute drive from Blackgang Chine and 25 minutes from Osborne
Barbecues and dogs allowed; pubs, café and food shop a short walk away

Set yourself up for a scenic stay at Troopers View Campsite. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Isle of Wight, this place is all abuzz with the full-on countryside, including views over the Shorwell Downs… and while you’re on your rural wanders, you’ll find many walking and cycling trails surrounding the site. Thanks to the pretty central location on the island, you’ll be free to roam as far as you desire. Whether it’s horse riding, mountain biking, surfing or watersports you have in mind for the day, there’s a handy bus stop at the entrance to the site to get about. Plus, half an hour’s walk away in Brighstone, the neighbouring village, there are bicycle and E-bikes for hire for those of you who’d rather bike your way around and soak in the views en-route. When you’re hit by a thirst for a pint or a nice helping of food, then the site is a 10-minute walk away from a traditional country pub and a little village shop where you may track down breakfast and basics. In Brighstone, there’s a café (a hot breakfast spot), newsagents and another pub serving lunch, dinner and local ales – there’s a big beer garden here to kick back outdoors and nurse a pint while the kids scamper about in the playground. On site, there are convenient facilities including a water supply, toilet and general waste bins. This is a rather laidback place, welcoming families and dogs, and permitting barbecues so that you can get together on an evening.

Vicky H. Aug 2024

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Waay to find and a good sized field with views of fields and the sea. A nice out of the way area and as it was a Sunday night it was quiet on the site. Well kept shower cubicle and sink area as well as 2 portaloos which weren't far from where we chose to camp.

Disliked: We camped next to the hedge line which was next to the road so the traffic that did come past was quite loud but this was minimal and didn't bother us. You could also camp further away from the road. Showers were running cold but this could probably have been adjusted we just didn't know how.

An open field, limited facilities, great to get away from it all.

Liked: This is a field straight off the road with limited facilities which meant it was really quiet. We “checked in” By phone and we left to chose where to park up.

Disliked: The site is mainly sloping

Liked: The view, which is fabulous. The laid back style of this campsite. The village pub.

Disliked: Being alongside the road, which was quite busy and noisy. The walk to the pub, although only ten minutes, does involve walking along the road with no footpath for most of the way.

Our second visit to this peaceful field. We will be back.

Local attractions

To begin with the scrumptious coastline? Perhaps surfing at the National Trust’s Compton Bay (10 minutes’ drive), windsurfing or kitesurfing at the sandy Brook Bay (10 minutes) or the beach at Osborne (25 minutes), a heritage house with playgrounds and tours too? The Needles (25 minutes) might not be your classic beach day but this chalk coast is a landmark stop. And how about a daily dose of animal therapy? There are horse riding stables (15 minutes) or the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary (20 minutes). Robin Hill (20 minutes) is a country park all about falconry displays and train rides, while Tapnell Farm Park (15 minutes) will get the kids all immersed in family-friendly farm activities or the aqua park. Where else to go? For those of you still catering to the kids, there's Blackgang Chine's (15 minutes) family-friendly rides and slides or the Isle of Wight Zoo (35 minutes). Carisbrooke Castle (10 minutes) and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway (25 minutes) might ignite a passion for history. Or for something where wildlife’s rife, Isle of Wight Pearl (five minutes) has a butterfly meadow and café.
