The Isle of Wight is well known for its spectacular scenery, warm weather and wonderful wildlife. With all this stunning nature waiting to be explored, why not turn your holiday into a camping or caravanning adventure? By surrounding yourself with the great outdoors, you’ll never miss a thing!
Pitching your tent at a scenic Isle of Wight campsite can provide some pretty special experiences. You could be waking up to the sound of the birds in the morning, exploring the nearby ancient woods and rocky bays in the daytime and ending the evening with a family BBQ under the stars.
If you’re after a real adventure, then choose a campervan trip for the ultimate Island getaway. Move from campsite to campsite to explore everything the Isle of Wight has to offer and make sure you incorporate some of our most scenic coastal drives, such as the rugged Military Road in West Wight.
Ultimately, whether you’re bedding down in a camper or spending the night under canvas, you’re sure to be impressed with the Isle of Wight’s diverse range of quality campsites and parks.
If a week of rest and relaxation is your ultimate goal, why not stay at one of the Island’s larger holiday parks such as The Orchards near Yarmouth or Whitecliff Bay in Bembridge? Complete with sports facilities, on-site catering and evening entertainment you won’t need to stray far – with all you could wish for right on your (campervans) doorstep!
Looking for somewhere to bring the whole family? There’s plenty of camping grounds all over the Island designed with little travellers in mind. These locations not only provide everything you need for the ultimate camping holiday, but often also include play areas, swimming pools and even friendly farm animals just waiting to meet you! Family-focused campsites also make the ideal base for exploring our long sandy beaches and varied visitor attractions. We’d recommend Appuldurcombe, Grange Farm or Kids Love Yurts. There’s also an array of accessible sites such as Parkdean Resorts which go the extra mile to cater for disabled campers too.
The Isle of Wight already has a reputation as a bit of a quirky destination, but you can take it up a notch with a stay at one of our wonderful offbeat campsites. What could be better than a week exploring the Island in a 1970s VW camper? Or a summer staycation in a converted chapel or scout hall? We’ve even got arks, Airstream caravans, a shepherd’s hut and a helicopter too – all ready and waiting to make holiday memories that will last a lifetime. Take a look at Windmill Campersite and Retro Staycations to see what’s on offer.
Love camping but appreciate your home comforts? Then glamping is the best option for you! Choose from luxury lodges, yurts or bell tents scattered across the Island in a variety of picturesque settings. Options include The Garlic Farm (great for foodies), Tom’s Eco Lodge (perfect for eco-warriors) or Glamping the Wight Way (an unbeatable location for summer sunrises!)
For a truly tranquil getaway, why not pitch up at one of our more natural campsites? Try Ninham Country Holidays for a sustainable, rural getaway – the perfect spot for wildlife watching and digital detoxing. Or if woodland bathing and bushcraft are more your sort of thing, then consider a trip to Whitefield Forest Touring Park instead.
Alternatively, if you’re just looking for a scenic spot to hammer in those tent pegs, then choose one of the Island’s many traditional campsites. These varied camping grounds offer stunning natural beauty, an easy uncomplicated approach and a nostalgic nod to the camping holidays of your childhood. Choose Chine Farm at Atherfield for its impressive cliff-top location, or Lucketts Farm near Yarmouth for its secluded, woody surroundings.
Finally, if your holiday just wouldn’t be complete without your four-legged friend, don’t despair, there’s also plenty of campsites that welcome pups and pooches too!
As you can see, you’re spoiled for choice with campsites and parks when you visit the stunning Isle of Wight. Whoever you are, we’ve got a camping location that’s perfect for you. So, if you haven’t booked your trip yet, what are you waiting for?
