hello,

Everything crazily busy over here at moment and bank holiday likely to be heaving.  We have visited many of the island sites and quiet ones within walking distance to a pub are hard to find.  However, Stoats Farm at Totland is a very laid back site - basic facilities but situated at foot of Tennyson Downs with excellent pub right opposite entrance to site.  You can walk to Totland for beach and small shop but supermarkets can be found in Freshwater, not far away.  Not too far from Yarmouth ferry either.

We were put off when we first arrived as everything seemed quite scruffy, but if you go into the top camping field this is lovely.  Sloping but flat at the top.  Very quiet here with gloroius views (and sunsets!)  Toilets and showers are basic but generally clean.

There is a shop, bus stop outside, fabulous walks but no other facilities so doesn't attract the hoards.  Pam, the owner is friendly and helpful.

Good luck.let me know if you want info on any others.

Yes, have stayed there and enjoyed it, though it was early in season. More formal and better tended than Stoats.  Has bar, entertainment and pool. Very different atmosphere.  Red Funnel do good ferry and site deal.

Nice location, again lovely walks.  You can walk to village pub easily or a super country walk to Godshill which has a 2 nice pubs, restaurants and tea rooms.  Shopping not far at Ventnor or little further to Morrisons at Lake.

I would guess you would have a job getting in there at the time you want, but it is well worth a try.

Definately.  But its all down to personal choice (and availability!) in the end.

Good luck!
