As first time campers this site was fantastic. Toilet and shower facilities were absolutely spotless,constantly cleaned. Our pitch was large althoughh friends also staying were on a much smaller one. Would definitely go again.
The Blacksmiths arms north of carisbrooke castle does fab sunday lunches... book ahead.

We have just spent a week at this campsite and had a lovely time. The site is beautifully maintained with neatly clipped hedges and immaculate toilet block. Unfortunately it was not an ideal choice for us as we have a 4 year old and as the pitches are in small 'bays' of about 8 units and there were no other children for him to play with in our bay. However if you want a quiet, large, allocated pitch this is ideal.

I only have 3 critisisms:

1) the water in the washing up room was not very hot and was on push button taps with very poor water pressure. Also the showers in the ladies were also unadjustable push button ones which on some showers only lasted a few seconds (which made me feel like I was in a swimming baths). Even more annoyingly this was not the case in the mens toilets which were adjustable.

2) The shop was very poorly stocked and only open between 9am and 4pm and even then not always open. It would have done more business if they had been open earlier and stocked papers.

3) The staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming and we were unceremoniously moved on from the completely empty carpark when we arrived as it was 'too busy' for us to wait there for my parents to arrive with their caravan.

All in all though it is a lovely site and fairly quiet at night too. I don't think we will return there though as I prefer an open field type site where the children can mingle easier.

Just returned from a week at Southland and the site is excellent. Pitches are level, generous in size and all have electric and drainage on the site is very good (we had a few nights of torrential rain but no problems). The showers, toilets, dish-wash rooms were all very clean. The family rooms are a great idea. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The site is very well laid out and the kids enjoyed the play area and the meadow. Just sorting out the dates before we book again for next year.

You cannot fault this site. Quite superb in every way.W e have been visiting for some years and have NEVER been dissappointed, neither will you.
For all the people who have never been to the island you should go and stop at Southland.The climate is very different to the mainland and so is the pace of life.
There is only one site to visit,Southland, try it and you will have arrived!

Stayed for 4 nights. (Three children - 2, 4 and 6, and two adults. Tent and gazebo.)
Had a lovely big pitch with electrics and own water supply. Site is very nicely landscaped and clean. Cannot fault the showerblock / toilets -
excellent, they were always really clean and checked regulary. Loads of showers and basin cubicals so no queuing. Two large family showers aswell that the whole family can use (ie. unisex).

Laundry facilities looked good, although didn't use them. Nice shop with basic provisions. Good play area for the children.

Quiet and peaceful at night. Would definately stay there again.

We found this site by accident on the net, whilst looking for an alternative to our first choice which was fully booked. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Viv and Vanessa (site owners). The site itself is beautifully laid out, and the amenities are superb. This is not a site for those looking for non-stop night-life (unless its nature), but as a base for exploring the Island, it is ideal. Our 2 previous visits were with a trailer tent, but having just acquired a caravan, we will be returning in 2005.
I would heartily recommend this site.

I've visited the site regularly over many years as my children were growing up and I've always found it well-cared for and with good amenities.Its one of my favourite sites in the UK and I appreciate proper gravel paths and the tall trees acting as windbreaks between pitches.

On arrival at this site, first impressions were good, lovely wellkept gardens and borders,the pitches were of a good size and plenty of hook ups available.The pitches were divided off by hedges(six pitches then a hedge) which gave privacy.Plenty of water taps,the laundry and washing up room had good facilities and the toilet/shower block was of a very high standard, all tiled,modern and a bucket and mop outside each shower so that you can clean up after yourself. The shop could have been open at better times but we mainly used the Safeway supermarket 1 1/2 miles away, The rubbish bags were collected twice daily.There is a good childrens play area and a picnic area. If you want a clubhouse or pool then this site is not for you,but we loved it and are returning again this year.
