Old Barn Touring Park

Líbí se: Price & availability.
Honestly it’s nice and clean however not our cup of tea.
It’s ok for a base camp for Shanklin or Sandown.
The feel of the Inbetweeners camber sands episode.

Nelíbí se: Paying for showers ?
Arguments about using camping stoves on the grass between other campers and owners.
Boy racers love the road so avoid the pitches near the road and 1am, you too can hear the latest engine mods being tested.

Líbí se: The gentleman and lady who ran the camp site were really really helpful, at one point during the week our cars battery died and they helped us jump start the car, it was a really really wet week with so much rain, storm and winds and we were offered help if our car got stuck etc.

The pitches were separated, and it didn’t feel like one massive field with hundreds of tents and camper vans and we really enjoyed this feeling of being on our own. If you went with a few friends I’m sure it would feel like your own campsite if you were all out together.

It was dog friendly and all dogs had to be kept on leads at all times during your stay. Whilst we have a super friendly golden retriever I’m sure this would appeal to people with maybe nervous dogs.

There were really good facilities such as the toilets, showers, washing up areas and laundry areas. We got so wet that we used the dryers to help dry some of our clothes, grabbed a few tokens from the on-site shop and this was a great benefit to us for this holiday. The tokens were £1.50 and that was for an hour dry or wash. The toilet block doors stayed open so you did get some bugs and leaves blow into the blocks but the actual level for cleanliness of the toilet blocks are the best I have seen so far for a camp site, all the toilets were clean and had toilet roll in when ever I used them.

On site there was also a little play area for thoes with children.

We love that side of the island, I was at first worried about it being so close to the air field but whilst you heard the planes in the day they didn’t disturb you during the night (this might have been because of the 40 mph winds tho haha)!

It’s such a hard review to give as we went on a week that was so wet I didn’t feel like we got the full benefit of camping. But we both felt safe on the site and had a good time despite the horrific weather conditions.

Nelíbí se: The only thing I would say that it’s not the most scenic view of a campsite, down the bottom of the campsite there was a lovely little walk but if you are after something with amazing views this isn’t the place, as a base for us tho we absolutely loved it!

Líbí se: Location, with nearby walks.

Nelíbí se: Poor washing, shower and toilet facilities desperately in need of investment/rebuild/refurbishment. Untended camping field - the grass badly needed cutting.

Líbí se: The receptionist was very friendly and offered us alternative pitches when we were not happy with the one we had been allocated. Clean toilets and the free wifi was quite good as well. The grounds are kept well and the whole site was clean and tidy.

Nelíbí se: The site is on quite a busy road. Although this did not overly bother us, it does let the site down a little as it is quite noisy most of the time. The site is also at the end of a runway for light aircraft. The first day we was there the planes were taking off over us which was really noisy. Thankfully the rest of the days they were coming in to land over us so were much quieter. This may be us being fussy but we did struggle with the pitches as the first few we were offered were very uneven and although we are in a motorhome and do have chucks to go under the wheels, the pitches just weren't great. Although we were finally offered one that was completely flat and we didn't need the chucks at all. I also don't agree with having to pay for the use of the showers separately. In my opinion this should be part of the cost of the pitch. Although I do appreciate that this is relatively common, I just don't like it.

Líbí se: Beautiful countryside, lots of great walks, great for camping with dogs. Facilities basic but very good (showers are lovely and hot). It has everything you need for simple camping. Owners were friendly and helpful.

Nelíbí se: WiFi was a bit hit and miss, but we came to camp not be on the internet so it didn't bother us too much.
