Have just spent five nights on this site. It is a great site. The view is amazing, the toilet and shower block are like nothing I have ever seen on a campsite. The pitches were a good size and there were lovely apple trees and blackberry bushes all around. The site is in a really good location, although the Isle is not massive this site is close to lots of good locations. The shop is well stocked and we did use the chip shop one evening. Would go back again it was a great place.

Visited this site after booking the Red Funnel deal of 5 nights camping with return ferry crossing for £107.Very friendly staff.The new washrooms / pot washing block is the best I have come across so far.Never have to wait to use anything and very clean.Like the idea of having a shower and a sink within each cubicle.
The on site shop has all the essentials and those items that you might of forgotten.Used the takeaway once and can't complain - maybe slightly expensive though (£8 for 2 pukka pies with chips)
The pools look ok but didn't get a chance to test them out.Didn't fancy the outdoor pool in September!The indoor pool looks a bit small and you can't really swim like you would in a ordinary pool.
The pitch we had was large enough for a tent with extension and a car.Flat and good drainage.Ground is a bit stoney so make sure you take plenty of pegs!
The site has a TV room,Pool room,Arcade room and Childrens' play area,so plenty to keep the kids entertained.Highly recommend the Blacksmith's Arms pub on the road into Newport.The food was lovely and reasonably priced.Some great views over the Solent as well!The only downside was the hurricane conditions we had to withstand for 2 days and nights.
Unfortunately our main tent was damaged on the 2nd night so we had to go into Newport to buy one in the sales.Maybe some more hedges would help with a bit more protection from the elements?Overall a very good site and a very good holiday!

We visited this beautiful site in August last year. It was a very spacious and well laid out site.
We were really impressed with the site - there is a superb new toilet block, and even with the site fully booked there was never a queue for anything.
The pitches are a very generous size and were more than enough for our large Trailer Tent and still had room for our two kids to play safely.
The site has two pools one indoor and one outdoor. We used them both as we had pre booked tickets for the indoor one just in case the weather was poor, which on 3 days it was.
There are a limited number allowed indoors at any one time so pre booking was an advantage.
The site is large however the play area for the children was a little small. There is a large field at the bottom of the site where you can play games.
Showers, toilets and washing facilities were first class.
There is a small takeaway on site which is a little expensive but we still used it twice.
The site is well located on the island and everything is within about 40 mins in any direction.
Would recommend but I would advise booking early as it's very popular.

Just returned from a fantastic 5 night stay at this wonderful site. Everything from the initial check in to point of departure ran smoothly, with the staff always happy to help or offer advice when required.
We booked fairly late given this is peak season (only 6 weeks before) and arrived with some trepidation over which pitch we had been allocated. We didn't need to worry however as all pitches are well sited, generally on level ground and in close proximity to all the amenities/facilities and site shop. We were more than happy with our position which afforded us a degree of privacy with ample space for our tent, windscreen, car etc. Despite the inclement weather we were more than satisfied with the outdoor [heated] pool, although less hardy souls can always opt for the indoor [chargeable] option.
The new shower/facilities block is superb, despite the park being relatively full we never had to wait to use the showers and the amenities block is excellent with a number of washing up sinks, campers kitchen, ironing facilities, washing machines/dryers etc. The view from the washing up area is worth a visit in itself!
Overall a very well run park, reasonably priced, friendly and available staff, excellent location and easy access to the major routes to explore other areas of this lovely island.
We enjoyed ourselves so much we have already put down a deposit for next year, but will be staying for a full week next time.

We have just returned from 2 weeks on the Isle of Wight, having spent 5 nights on this lovely camp site. The views are outstanding, the facilities are fantastic (don't know many camp sites where there's underfloor heating!). The only thing I would say is the bins were right at the top so if you were down the bottom and it was raining you would have a bit of a trek. Perhaps a few bins down the bottom would be an advantage? All in all a nice quite site.

After a week in the lake district we were of to the island on a great deal from red funnel. Return ferry from Southampton and 5 nights at the Orchards all for just £108.
This has to be the best campsite I have ever stayed in.The staff are helpful and always happy. There is a shop, takeaway, pool room, tv room, table tennis room and two heated pools, one indoor, one out.
The toilet blocks which are new are superb, with cubicles with sinks, showers with sinks and mirrors, cubicles etc and the other end of the same building, you get that all over again so very very rare to have to wait. Chemical disposal point and a washing up, ironing and washing room with absolutely stunning views across the surrounding countryside.
Our pitch had its own electric point and as all the others was flat and even. Dog walking area, playing field, it doesn't get any better than this and I will now be using this site for ever more when staying on the island.
