  • Peaceful site surrounded by woods filled with wildlife
  • A short drive from Shanklin and Sandown Bay
  • Heated outdoor pool on site in summer months
This is such a pretty site – tucked in a quiet glen beside an unruffled duck pond, and embraced by bluebell woods full of red squirrels, badgers and woodpeckers – that you may never want to leave this peaceful little wildlife haven… But when you do manage to drag yourself away from Ninham Country Holidays, it’s just a short ride through gorgeous countryside to the safe, sandy beaches Shanklin and Sandown Bay. The Orchard pitching area has spacious, level landscaped pitches divided by hedging and mature specimen trees. Guests have access to modern bathroom facilities, with renewable technologies such as solar water heating and rainwater harvested flushing toilets. There's also an outdoor heated swimming pool at this park (open late May to early September, and operated on a regulated booking system). TV and games rooms are also on hand for keeping the kids busy in mid and high-season periods. A firm emphasis is placed on being nature-friendly, and all guests are expected to adhere to a strict recycling policy and the countryside code. Please note: well-behaved dogs are accepted for most of the year, but not during the school summer holidays. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on site.

VW electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: We liked the way the fields were sectioned off with hedges so every plot had some privacy. The shower block was amazing, there were plenty of showers so i never had to wait for one to become available. There was also wash cubicles which i used to apply make up and brush my teeth. There was plenty of hot water and soap and the place was spotless. Couldn’t fault the place.

VW electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Our pitch was massive! Plenty of space between other fellow campers and snuggled by bushes around us. Excellent, clean and plentiful facilities, never needed to wait for a shower cubicle. A little extra thumbs up were the private sink cubicles, very thoughtful. Perfect location as just off the main road into Sandown and Shanklin, but far enough away down a winding lane to feel remote and not hear the traffic. Bonus points for the footpaths straight to Shanklin (30 min walk with a 5 year old) and 15 min walk to Morrisons for that top up shop. Other campers respectful and all quiet by 10pm. A great bank holiday stay.

Disliked: Could do with a little shop on site as the cherry on the top! 😄

Local attractions

The plentiful cycle tracks and footpaths mean it’s easy to start exploring the Isle of Wight’s diverse terrain of hills, woodland and white cliffs framing golden beaches. Not for nothing is this called the Garden Isle: Mediterranean plants thrive in the mild climate, and visitors can expect to spot a wide range of wildlife around and about. It’s no wonder Queen Victoria and her brood decamped here so frequently from smelly London (visitors can check out their seaside digs at Osborne House). Natural attractions aside, the island offers great watersports from its lovely beaches, as well as all manner of other athletic activities, and sights to suit all tastes. Culture vultures should try Carisbrooke Castle or one of the many museums, dinosaur hunters can track down the great beasts that used to roam the shores, fledgling zoologists will enjoy the many animal-based attractions, and that’s before we even get started on the scenic steam railway, glorious botanic gardens or rip-roaring theme parks…
