 We live in Freshwater and decided to take a break from our busy life.

Whitefield forest was exactly that.

Lovely clean site and in a lovely setting.

Great dog walks and bus stop at the end of the lane.

Would definitely return.

 What a gem of a site. Location was amazing, easy central location for all of the island.

All amenities just a short drive away. Campsite was immaculate. Shower block and toilets very clean.

Dog/walk around the edge of the site is beautiful and very pleasant.

Slight traffic noise, but not overpowering.

Pushbutton showers were poor as only allowing 5 secs before needing to be pushed again but lovely hot water.

Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Reviewer: Watty2020 16 reviews from this member

 Great site in the Forest and facilities are top class.

Site is very well looked after and don’t let the approach road put you off as it’s a bit past its prime but the site is very good.

Lots of walks and cycle routes to nearby beach’s and Ryde.

If were to come back to island would use this site again and not their fault the weather was awful, April showers in the UK the norm.

Reviewer: Katyhu 1 review from this member

 This is a lovely site with first class facilities.

The owners were helpful and friendly in organising our stay with them and made arrangements for our later arrival.

We have older and younger children and whilst the younger ones made a few trips to the play area they didn't stay ever so long. The older ones were lacking in things to do, but we were aware this would be the case as it is a quieter site.

I would highly recommend as nice generous sized pitches and not to squashed in.

The only down side was the road noise, but this is the down side to an easier access site for our large caravan.

 There is nothing we disliked about the site.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the site is very well kept and maintained, an extremely clean toilet/shower block.

The woodland walk is a wonderful idea, especially for exercising a dog and our dog really loved his daily walks.

We loved it so much we have booked for next year.

Reviewer: Pwwukpw 5 reviews from this member

 Amazing site. In a Forrest with Red Squirrels & lots of other wildlife. Very sheltered from the strong winds that we often encounter on the island. Only 15 minutes cycle, mainly on quiet path / road to a great beach with a fantastic cafe / bar.

Pat and the team could not be more helpful, pitches are spacious with some offing full service.

The woodland play area could do with a bit of few repairs (see saw) but still offers a great feeling of adventure.

Show block immaculate.

Don't tell anyone about this amazing site please. It is hard enough to get a pitch already!

 Due to unexpected change of circumstances our annual family holiday plans had to be changed almost at the last minute, causing a big headache.

Luckily we managed to find this holiday park which accommodated both the caravan & tent.

This is a gem of a site. Staff were amazing. Courteous, friendly and so helpful-even to the point of booking both units and ferries enabling both families to stay together.

Site is great, pitches are large, level and grass mowed upon departure. Shower & toilet block are so clean it's a pleasure to use them - and water is HOT -Bonus !

No litter as plenty of bins which are emptied regularly. Small area on site for essentials and sells gas if required. Lovely site situated within a beautiful forest with plenty of long quiet walks- with or without dogs !

There's a super timber made play park for children to run, climb, jump & swing in-or just ride bikes around. So happy wee ones - equals happy bigger ones! Shame there's no pool, (for lazy swimming!) but everything is within a few miles -so not a problem.

No noisy clubhouse-bar or entertainment on site, - all this can be found close by -leaving this site a relaxing area to chill out in.

Costs may be slightly higher than average but the service, care & attention for the benefit of/to their visitors is well worth it.

We Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning when visiting the island again.

 Lovely well kept campsite in a perfect area for exploring the island. Friendly staff who saw you to your pitch.

We had a fully serviced pitch - which was a first for us, and we would highly recommend.

The pitches were really big too. We have quite a wide awning, and even with our car parked we still had ample space top sit outside without being near our neighbours.

The toilet and shower blocks were immaculately kept, and covid safeguards in place to make you feel safe. Massive Tesco supermarket nearby.

Will definitely visit again.

Date of Visit: July 2021 Unit:  Tent
Nights stayed: 4 Travelling as:  Family with young children
Reviewer: Parttimecamper 6 reviews from this member

 Had an amazing 4 night stay here with the family.

We choose a grass pitch which included a EHU and it was big enough for our big tent. Booking was made via Red Funnel, and included the crossings, which was great value for money.

The site was good, toilet block was clean and well stocked, nice spacious family rooms and a laundry room. Washing lines were available to hang items out on. Little woodland walk and play area too.

We stayed during some awful weather (heavy rain and 40+mph winds) but the site remained clean throughout.

Lovely location on the island, well located. Loads to do, with bus stop outside.

Only thing I would note is the road outside is rather busy and can be noisy at times, pulling out of the site can be a gamble as traffic is fast, but wouldn’t stop us from returning.

 Had a fantastic stay at this lovely park.

Tucked away amongst the woodlands with great (some hilly) bike rides with beautiful views of both the sea & surrounding countryside.

Den building in the woods for children - spacious pitches & all immaculately well kept.

Good system for the shower block to stop too many people in there all at once.

Lovely friendly staff.

Cannot find any negatives - will be back again!

Reviewer: BadBoyBushy 17 reviews from this member

 Booked as part of a deal with Red Funnel, this is a very well kept site which I really cannot fault apart from 2 things which I will cover first (and one isn't really their fault).

Downsides

1. Where we were pitches we could hear road noise most of the time. Pitches further from the road may not have this problem.

2. Children's play area is in dire need of work/ repairs/ improvement and not as represented on their website.

Good bits

Everything else.

Toilets/ laundry/ reception were all immaculate.

Pitches were perfect, level, clean and with plenty of room for an awning and a small grass area too. I cannot fault it.

Not knowing the site, and having a very large twin axle we had requested a hard standing pitch with easy access and we were given one we could just reverse into.

We'd forgotten our rock pegs for the awning, but the site sold them at a very reasonable price.

Location is convenient for the main road, but nothing within walking distance and despite staying at half term there weren't many children so I'd put this more as an adult campsite than a family one.

Overall we enjoyed our stay, and we would have given 10/10 if it wasn't for the play area and the location just isn't what we like.

Reviewer: Wilsosd 14 reviews from this member

 Cracking site, staff extremely helpful even with all the restrictions in place. Weather during our stay was wet in fact we rechristened the island the isle of wet, but obviously that's not the sites fault.

Facilities are first rate and very clean, pitches large enough for most units plus awning and plenty are fully serviced which was a pleasant surprise.

Plenty of wildlife around too and encouraged by the site. Handy for island exploring and also very close to Busy Bees Garden centre (worth a visit), Large Tesco and a golf centre/ course.

Overall when we go back to the IoW it will also be a return to Whitefield Forest

Reviewer: Silver Plated Spork 32 reviews from this member

 Really enjoyed our stay on this site. I enquired to see if there were spaces available and was able to then book on the phone, and the site also sorted the ferry crossing at a much better price than doing it separately.

It's set in a sheltered wood, on the east side of the island so quite close to get to most sights and attractions on the island. Whilst the trees gave welcome shade, it's also open enough to get the sun on your tent. There is a Tesco just up the road and the owner kindly let our supermarket delivery van to the pitch. The large pitches are well spread out, some are hardstanding with own water. Otherwise lots of water and rubbish points set out. There is a path around the site which takes in some of the woodland nature. There is some traffic noise from the main road but some pitches are further set back from this and it may be quieter there.

Facilities are fairly central to most pitches and well designed. From memory, I think there were 6 toilets, 6 showers and 3 privacy basins, all spotless and in good condition. Laundry room also available and covered washing up points.

A good adventure playground for children in the woods, plus a few other play things set out on the trail in the woods, as well as a red squirrel hide. A small shop at reception sells milk, bread, some tins as well as ice creams.

We stayed during Covid times and I agree with the other reviews that the owners had gone to great lengths to minimise any risk. There were hand sanitising stations at all water points and entrances to the washblock, clear signs about being courteous and giving way and extra cleans in action.

We were lucky with the weather and did a lot of beaches during our stay- Ryde, Steephill Cove, and we even walked from the site over to Seaview bay, a route which was mainly road-free. We also saw Carisbrooke castle and Osbourne House, and did a road trip over to the Needles and Yarmouth.
