Liked: Tent pitches are flat with some short grass. The path for cars is at a good distance so you don’t eat it too much. Utilities are close and clean. 4mins for 50p shower is more than enough

Liked: Lovely farm location (with turkeys and chickens reigning free!) near great coastal walks. The campsite itself was located in a valley offering incredible sunrises in the morning. It was far back enough from road so that it was quiet during the evening.
Disliked: Although a minor point, I'd encourage the owners to make the 50p charge required for the shower to be known in listing on this site; at a time when cash is less common, it was a slight inconvenience. Also, please make clear what that 50p buys you as time felt a little on the mean side!

Liked: Everyone was so friendly! Its in an amazing location and everything is kept up really well. the pitches were good sizes with benches and the option of staying on which ever pitch we wanted. Which was great as we could be a little further away as not to disrupt others. The toilet/showers were clean and tidy as well as the washing up station.
Disliked: Not really much i disliked, wish you got a bit more time in the shower or had the option to pause as it was probably enough time but waited for it to stop so i could apply conditioner and then spent another 50p just to wash it out. I do like the water saving though! Im glad we were as close to the toilets as we were but if others had booked before us and we had to pitch further away, i wouldn't have been too comfortable with the walk to the toilets.

Liked: Beautiful sight set in the rolling hills above Compton bay, which is itself the prettiest beach on the island. The site is just a twenty minute walk onto the beach itself and a ten minute walk to the beautiful cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Friendly and helpful owners and a lovely atmosphere around the campsite. Comfortable facilities that were cleaned regularly during our stay - hot showers. Just a five minute drive from Freshwater where there happened to be a double decker bus 'Travelling Tavern' which we enjoyed hugely over the week! We had planned to visit more of the Isle but found that we did not want to leave this lovely spot, so stayed on for three extra nights. Would definitely return here if I am on the Isle of Wight again - thank you for a lovely stay!
Disliked: Not a problem for me at all - but there is little to no signal in the campsite. Made for a lovely week of off-grid camping but might be a problem for others.

From the manager: Thank you Indira. I am so glad you had a lovely time at Compton.
