 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.

Booked here so we could visit the inlaws - I was a bit apprehensive as to what we might find due to the Covid situation, but a lot of thought had obviously been put in by the management and the site was set up brilliantly.
Spotlessly clean facilities, super pitches, and an excellent location (for visiting/being visited by the inlaws and seeing the island. )
We are looking forward to going back in the future.

I looked at a few site and had a good feeling about Whitefields so booked for 4 nights. We were certainly not disappointed!
We had a great pitch which was near enough but not too close to the facilities which were spotlessly clean.
The pitch was a great size and everyone was very friendly on site.
We will definitely be returning to the site.

We were met and shown to our pitch by Pat, who soon had us informed and made very welcome, in fact any time we needed them they were friendly and helpful.
The site is on a slope with level pitches on different levels. We had water, electric and waste all of which were excellent. Pitch was level and big enough for us and the awning.
In amongst the trees we soon saw our first red squirrel and in fact with trees and bushes right next to the van we were constantly amused by the birds, rabbits and squirrels.
The facilities were superb and immaculate and we ordered newspapers which one of the ladies brought in for us each morning at no extra cost.
This is a truly wonderful site so peaceful and relaxing. Already planning a return.

Great campsite. The site is surrounded by trees, hence the name, with very well maintained and thought out pitches. Facility block is a high standard. There are some seats outside reception where you can access free Wi-Fi.
Tesco superstore few minutes drive/bus ride away. Bus stops near the site are on the number 2 and 3 bus routes, one way going to Ryde (about 15 minutes).
The other way goes through Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor(on the number 3), Godshill and eventually ending up in Newport. The number 3 runs late and on Fridays/ Saturdays into the early hours. Overall a cracking site.

An absolutely fantastic campsite, all pitches immaculately kept, nicely spaced apart, toilets and shower block probably the cleanest and most modern I have ever used.
The Isle of Wight has lots to offer if you have a family or in our case just a dog, this campsite is ideally situated and nothing is more than a 45 minute drive away or if you are don’t fancy driving hop on a bus, the bus stop is on the main road just a 50 yard walk from the campsite.

We have just returned from a 2week stay at this excellent site. Pat and all the staff were so friendly and very helpful, nothing was to much trouble for them. Pat was very helpful and understanding after my mishap with mislaid caravan keys on the way to get the ferry from Southampton, she managed to rebook our ferry and thankfully we found our keys and continued on our journey to the site. We had a really good pitch/fully serviced, toilet block could not be faulted, well maintained, spotlessly clean, laundry room was always clean, could probably do with another washer/dryer as there was sometimes a few bags waiting to be done. It was such a relaxing site, not too much road noise, lovely walks around the site, loved watching the Red Squirrels playing around the site. Will definitely be returning here. There is a Tesco store 10 minutes down the road which is open 24hrs, bus stop just outside the site entrance. There are so many attractions to see on the island, beaches were dog friendly, plenty of places to eat that are also dog friendly.
Thank you from The Harrison Family

Our first time caravanning on the Isle of Wight and found this site to be excellent. Quiet, secluded pitches and the cleanest shower/toilet block on the planet. Some road noise but not intrusive apart from occasionally some lads who think that removing their moped exhaust silencer makes them Barry Sheene! Owners/staff pleasant and helpful. We booked the site/ferry deal which was excellent value. Dog friendly and close to Tesco Extra make this a perfect base for exploring the charming Isle of Wight. We'll be back!

We stayed here in early July for 2 weeks with some friends, and we really got lucky with the weather! Only 1 day of rain!
This site is very well maintained, and is owned/run by a very experienced owner along with her family.
The pitches are large and are a mix of grass and hard standing, some are shaded at different times of the day, so if you like to be in the sun or shade check with the owners, our pitch was in the shade most of the afternoon. If you're on a full service pitch you are given a 'key' to turn the tap on. This is a great idea. Just remember to return it at the end of your stay.
There is Wifi available (free) outside reception, there are loungers and tables to sit on while using this. We found this very convenient, much better than sites where you have to purchase vouchers, and then find out it doesn't work properly anyway!
The showers/toilets are absolutely immaculate and modern, and are kept in tip top condition. There is a room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing board, you can hire an iron from reception and get tokens to use the washer and dryer from reception as well. I do think though at busy times just the one washer and dryer won't be enough. These were always busy when we were there and we were outside the kids holidays. Outside there is a rotary clothes line to use, which is very handy if you don't have your own (don't forget your pegs)
In the reception there is lots of information for days out etc, and the staff can always offer suggestions and recommendations.
10 Minutes down the road is a very large Tesco store with petrol garage (I think the store is 24 hours, not sure though) there is also a McDonalds more or less next door to Tesco.
There is a doggy walk around the site - this is a nice woodland trail. Whilst on the subject of dogs, we felt that a few more 'doggy bins' could be added around the site.
There are a few things to note, on the lower pitch numbers there is road noise (Friday and Saturday nights were pretty loud with the boy racers) and I have to say it did bother us.
There are signs around the site advising of a STRICT 5MPH, however trying to get people to adhere to this was difficult, why do people seem incapable of sticking to this???? It means 5MPH, not ten or fifteen, they even put a large blackboard out as well trying to get the message through, as the signs were obviously not meant for some people!. The owner did have a word with some people about keeping their speed down. Keeping to the speed limit also kept the dust down on the camps roads as it was so dry, over 5mph really kicked the dust up, great if you're trying to relax outside your unit.
It was very quiet on the site, and I get the impression that the owner would enforce quiet times after 10. 30PM
Just one other thing, getting out onto the main road with a caravan etc, is a bit 'dodgy' as it's a main road with blind bends.
A good site, well run and very clean.
