  • 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.

Orchard powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This is the best site we’ve stayed on. Pitches are spacious, the facilities were spotlessly clean and modern. The pool was beautiful- overall a very well maintained camp site, we would definitely come back. Loved that it was a quiet weekend and the lovely proprietors spaced everyone out so we had extensive privacy. Very happy, thank you

Orchard powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything about the place was great. Lovely pitch, close by to amenities and entertainment and a great central location to the local attractions and places of interest.

Disliked Games room was a bit lacking in functional equipment, just needs a bit of attention. Pool was nice if a bit nippy.

Lauren N.

Orchard powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Such a beautiful campsite. Nice and clean, staff are lovely, good facilities. It was a bit loud one of the evenings we were there with kids shouting after 9pm, and we saw one of the staff members speak to them which was good to see that they stick to their rules of quiet after 9pm. Would definitely book to stay there again.

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…
