Scenic and secluded pop-up farm site with views of the Shanklin Downs
A five-minute drive from Shanklin and Sandown beaches and resorts
Rural park with bridleways and footpaths leading from the grounds

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 pop-up 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.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)

Liked: Excellent campsite, quiet, secluded but close enough to all amenities, clean, tidy & well run. Found next to nothing to dislike about it other than a fairly pot-hole ridden driveway. Found out during the course of our stay that my grandparents had stayed here in 1968, and also that one of the owners is the best chum since school of my cousin. It truly is a small world!

Disliked: Not much other than the toilet/shower block could be cleaned more than once a day, particularly after most folks have used it in the morning to get washed.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice campsite, clean facilities with all you would need for an extended camping trip. Like the bay isles, all nice sizes, high capacity site but with the hedges you feel quite private.

Location is everything you would need for a family trip with young children, barely 30 minutes from the ferry, 5-10 minutes from shanklin and sandown beach. Local sites all short drives away, lots of food options.

Friendly welcome!

Disliked: Would have happily paid extra for WiFi due to my phone service not being great, but was nice to switch off!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely friendly greeting from Carol. Great location off the close to amenities but off the main road. Quiet fields all around and nice large pitches. Showers and toilets kept clean. Plenty of hot water. Nice walks close by for walking the dog. The reception offered lots of extras, although we didn't use them. Plus there is an area for children and outdoor table tennis etc. Really nicely kept campsite

Disliked: The timer for the hot water in the shower too quick if washing hair. Could also do with a shelf or more hooks in the shower cubicles. Not all pitches are not level so chocks needed.

Liked: Lovely, clean and quiet site. Close enough to walk into Shanklin, far enough away to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Nice big pitches, flat and no stones! Beautiful area with all amenities close by. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Nothing!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very warm welcome from the wardens (can't remember names sorry) who were extremely helpful and very informative about the area. The site is well kept and really peaceful. Facilities are basic but sufficient and are well kept and very clean.
Small park on the site for the kids and plenty of routes to walk the dog from the site avoiding the main roads.

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).
