With great respect, "...not too commercialised, but with a pool..." is an impossible combination.  In my experience, it almost certainly has to be commercilaised to sustain the running costs of a pool.

But to reasure you, I've yet to come come across a bad site on the IOW.

Consider, Heathfield Farm or Whitefield Forest. (No pool but excellent reviews.)or Appuidurcombe Park  (with pool and excellent reviews0

It's a CC affiliated site. Never been to the Isle of Wight before so really looking forward to it.

We not been either and taking our first trip in August. After posting on here we have booked Whitefield forest. we were going to book appuldurcombe but thought it might be too commerciialised for us. Wight Ferries give discount to C & C club members but we used our Tesco vouchers.

The C&CC Adgestone site has a swimming pool and a paddling pool and  is within walking distance of a village, but is not commercialised. It is also quite close to Sandown. They offer various ferry deals and family pitch deals.  I can recommend it.

Ninham country holidays is good, lots more open space than the CC Club site at Adgestone and they have a pool, small games room and thats about it, you can walk into Sandown quite easily.

Appuldurcombe is fab!

It isn't (imo) commercialised and has the pool you require. It also has a small cafe serving food in the evenings. The people who run the cafe are lovely

We went to IOW for the first time in Sept 10 and it was a choice of Appuldurcombe or Whitefield Forest for us. We have since been back to Appuldurcombe (July 11) as although we were there for 2wks the first time we didn't see and do everything!
