Hi, there are some reviews at http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=3828 which may help

I love the IOW, enjoy !

I'm off there on Saturday and love it! It's like going abroad but without your passport!

Check out this website  http://www.iwight.com/homepage/ as it's got all the info you need. Incidentally, it's Cowes week so loads going on there.

Have a great time, I know we will!

Went to IOW last Whitsun for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It's great for car touring around because no matter where you go on the island you are generally no more than 30mins away from your campsite !!

Make sure you visit the Needles Battery (National Trust if you are a member), very interesting and interactive, especially if you have children plus a nice bracing walk along the cliff path to it with fantastic views.  Blackgang Chine in the south of the island is also good fun for children and adults, we are not usually 'theme park' types but this really was excellent.

Shanklin near your site is nice and there is a big new Tesco between there and Ryde for supplies.

One piece of advice I would give is to fill up with fuel before you get on the ferry, it was quite a bit more expensive than the mainland (last year anyway).

Hi Traceytracy, where are you staying?
