 Have visited this caravan site twice now and have already booked for 2008. All in all a lovely park with excellent friendly staff and clean plentiful facilities. In addition a good central location from which to explore the island. Would recommend Culver Down for those wishing a nice walk.
This is a very well managed site. We have children who like to play but they are aware to respect all holidaymakers and are always supervised! The owners are very good at ensuring all holidaymakers have a great time. A site for those wishing a peaceful getaway.

We have just returned from a week at Southland and this was definitely the best site we have ever stayed at. The wardens were friendly and helpful but not round every five minutes telling you what to do/not to do like some sites. The lovely grounds were immaculate. We had a large pitch, with a water tap, and the site is arranged in small bays surrounded by hedging which gives a nice, private feel.
The washrooms were plentiful and absolutely spotless and there are washing machines/dryers/iron all on site if required. The site was very quiet with no noise at night when we were there. There was a children's playground in the corner of the site. Which looked very nice to me although I am no expert.
There is a bus stop outside the site although it didn't run that often. However about 10 minutes walk away was a regular service to Newport/Sandown which ran every half hour until quite late at night. We bought a Rovercard for £20 each and only used the van once during the week. The Island is very well served by buses and you can get virtually everywhere as long as you plan your journeys with the aid of a timetable.
We didn't walk to Newchurch itself although others campers praised the food at the Pointer Inn. You do need to book though.
Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, the Needles and Arreton Barns Craft Village are all well worth a visit.
To be honest, I can't think of anything we didn't like! We will definitely be back.

1st review of this year for Southlands. Visited Mid-April with the weekends being wet and the week clear and cold, especially in the tent. This site is spotless with the Wardens constantly mowing the lawns and making sure the campers are happy. We had an excellent pitch near the park area, this was appreciated by the kids and meant we could keep an eye (or ear!) on them. The electric point next to the tent was not working (rcd tripped) and as the electrian was not on duty on the Saturday, the Warden leant us one of his extension cables. This point was quickly fixed on the Monday morning as promised. The toilet block was also spotless, however, the lights appeared to be on a timer and the blocks were dark during the day.
This site is ideally located on the island if you have a car as it is situated in the middle of the East of the island where most attractions are. Note that the nearest pub is not 5 minutes walk away, more like 20 minutes on roads without pavements.
When we go back to the Island in about two years, we will definitely go back to Southlands.

Very impressed on arrival, friendly staff. We were shown to our pitch which was a good size. We have a large tent and gazebo.
Site well laid out and kept very tidy.
Our children enjoyed the play area and were soon playing football(in marked area)and making friends.
The washrooms were big and light, always clean, warm with plenty of toilets, showers and enclosed /individual washbasins. Seperate family bathroom available but didn't use this.
Washing up areas good always clean with good supply of hot water.
Nature area lovely and peaceful the children enjoyed rabbit spotting.
We had horrible weather for first couple of days wet and VERY windy, my husband had to repeg our tent several times in the night! The staff were quick to cone off boggy areas and put down straw.
Some people left because of the weather but we stayed and luckily it improved.
Very central for visiting many attractions, don't forget to send off your tesco vouchers for e.G Amazon Zoo, The Needles Park to name a couple.
The on site shop could stock more but Morrisons very close by car and has a cafe there.
Overall a lovely site, child friendly and we would come again.

Excellent site with good, well-maintained facilities (really clean with bags of hot water). Very ordered site and helpful, friendly staff. Just turned up without booking (thanks to reviews on this site) and were shown to a pitch with a cheery 'we'll sort the paperwork and money out in the morning'. Nice quiet spot, very handy for bikes routes and a bus-ride to the beach.
We were there right at the end of the season (advised they are closed October-March) so understandably pitches were well-worn.
Could anything be better? The 'wish-list' would be reducing the height of the perimeter hedges so you get a view, and the nearest pub (Pointer Inn) serving some local beer rather than London Pride! It's now on our list of sites we're happy use when on the IOW

Visited Southland for 16 days. Generally very pleased with the site. Disabled toilet facility very frequently abused. Radar key system would improve greatly,had to queue in main toilet shower block on several mornings and site was by no means full, could be a problem in high season toilets were spotless. Pitches were well worn, we had no rain at all weather brilliant, had it rained it could have been a mud bath outside our pitch. The location of our pitch was perfect. Some other pitches had very little sun, a few arrivals asked to be moved, as the site was quite quiet this was done without any problem. A more modern approach to the site booking system would help alleviate this, it would also allow site pitches to be rested were ever possible. All staff were very helpful, this is still the best site on the Isle of Wight without question, I offer my comments as constructive criticism, and by no way of that of a complaint. We will most certainly return we have already recommended the site to quit of few of our fellow caravaners. We would like to thank all of the staff at Southlands for making our Holiday a very memorable one.

We stayed here based on the reviews and the professional looking website that the site has. I agree that the site is nicely landscaped - lots of mature shrubs to segregate areas, however, the pitches are very closely spaced and if you are unlucky enough to be on the main route through the site there is not much privacy. My children (3 under 8s) were not very impressed with the playarea, 3 swings and a climbing frame is very little compared with other sites we have stayed at of a similar style/size. The showers & toilets were adequate, although there is only one block for the whole site. My two gripes about the washing facilities are that the basins are so high that the children couldn't reach to brush their teeth - normally there are stools or steps at the other sites I've been to and they couldn't use the taps as they are the push down type.
The site is well situated for accessing the east coast of the island but there didn't seem to be anything we could get to without using the car - although there appears to be a good public bus network with a stop by the site entrance. The supermarket is about a 5 minutes drive away which is useful as the shop is very sparsely stocked (not even tomato sauce!) and runs out of milk & bread very quickly.

This is without a doubt the best site we have stayed on and we have been camping for many years. As previously stated the facilities are spotless, the whole campsite is extremely well maintained. The owner is friendly and always on hand to help. There are two family shower rooms, with a toilet in each, which I found very useful with two young girls. Along with this there is a room with all you need to bath a baby and disabled facilities. In the main ladies block there is three large showers and three single showers and individual wash rooms.
The ground is level and hedges section off areas. Our children made friends and played in the park until it closed at nine o clock. This is not a site to visit if you like clubs and evening entertainment, but if it's peace and relaxation you are after, you can't go far wrong visiting here. If you want to eat out you should try the isle of wight airport a couple of miles away towards Sandown. The food is great and it is lovely watching the light aircraft taking off whilst having a drink. We will definitely be visiting again.

Booked 8 nights here mainly on the reviews listed here and we weren't disappointed! The site is landscaped with hedges, bushes and plants. There is a spot close to reception that I believe is the wifi hot-spot, that has a couple of picnic benches to sit at. While you sit here you could be mistaken for sitting in the grounds of some great country house.it really is that nice. Another excellent bit of planning by the owners is the meadow. This is past the dog walk, (lovely in itself!) and has the grass cut so individual areas are private for having a picnic or just chilling. Fantastic!
The facilities on site are very good. 2 washing machines, (£2), 2 dryers, (50p for 20 Min's) and the toilets are kept clean and welcoming. Sometimes the showers weren't as clean as I'd like but this was down to people using them and not to a lack of effort from the staff.
A stout walk / short bike ride / shorter drive is the Pointers Inn. We didn't have chance to eat here, (booking is required,) but the meals looked lovely so if you get a chance get in there.
The IOW has so many things to see and do it would be foolish to try and name them all but a few we went to are Osbourne House. An excellent day out and fascinating!
I had to drag the family to see the Needles and they are still thanking me for taking them! We all had a great time there. A excellent little place to visit is Arreton Barns craft village. You will find loads of little gifts to take home for your family and yourself, and it has a great pub that serves lovely food.
We booked the site with the ferry crossing included and had a great holiday, one of the best.
Only down side is we needed 2 weeks extra.oh well.there's always next year.

We spent a wonderful week here in July 2007. The weather was kind to us, but the site did not seem to have been affected at all by the rain of previous weeks.
The staff were helpful, especially on arrival. They even were able to mend a new electric cable which mysteriously did not work for which we are very grateful.
Our 2 children aged 5 and 3 enjoyed themselves thoroughly and appreciated the playground area which they played on til sundown.
The toilet and shower facilities were excellent - very clean and lots of hot water and were cleaned and maintained thoroughly.
The dishwashing area and laundry area were well organised and there was always plenty of space for all.
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Southlands and will definitely return in the future.
