We are booked to the Whitefield Forest using the Red Funnel all inc offers, taking the motorhome; Then we are looking at getting the wander/rover 1 week ticket for the island bus service which includes the open top tours which will take us along and as driver i too can enjoy the scenery.
Whitefield have their own inclusive prices on their website for longer periods of time.
The Isle of Wight is not that big that you cannot go one end to the other and across; it is lovely with loads of different places which are a must to visit at any age.

I may seem a bit odd but I have three bolts which say my head IS screwed on the right way

You probably already know but if not it could save you some money - you can exchange Tesco Clubcard points for Wight Link tickets - and as usual you get 4 x tesco clubcard value so it is well worth it. We did our ferry crossing and a couple of days out using tesco vouchers, saved quite a lot of money.

Yes I looked into this but found that the ferry cost with Wightlink was £223 and with Red funnel was £140 so we decided not to use the vouchers as it didn't seem to be cost effective , we will save them and use them for days out etc
hi,we stayed at The Orchards last easter and were most impressed.lovely and clean.The ferry goes from Lymington to Yarmouth which takes about 25 mins and it's only about 10 mins from there.Most campsites do inclusives holidays-as do The Orchards-which includes the cost of the ferry and we found it really reasonable.

i'm with most posters on here, we loved the orchards. clean, friendly, nice shop & small take away.
is definately the quieter side of the island, with only the needles to see, so did have to drive for our days out, but really enjoyed the tranquility of the holiday & area
We stayed out Southlands last year. Even though it has been taken over by the CC I would think it is still a good site. Some pitches are fully serviced (or were?).
You only need a week to visit all the I.O.W. Been twice in 40 years and nothing had changed much..

We went to Southlands last year on a Red Funnel deal. Have tried to check their website this year and it seems to have been closed down. Anyone know if the site has closed too? Would be a great shame as it was a super site
We stayed at Ninham Country holidays last year, which is close to both Shanklin and Sandown. the only thing that spoilt our holiday was the british weather.
we stayed there too, the only thing that spoilt our holiday was the wardens on the site: very unhelpful and rude when we pitched in the wrong place - there was no-one around to tell us (office seemed closed most of the time) and we had no way of knowing. pity as location is very good but we won't be going there again.
