Stayed at Roebeck Caravan park in Ryde This is the worst site i have ever stayed on I picked it because we were going to a wedding on the island and there was 4 adults and 1teenager in our party and they stated they had a new shower block but this consisted of just a shower curtain between you and the people waiting for the shower so when you came out naked to get your towel and get dried you was in full view of everyone so we all used the caravan shower for the whole stay they were also dirty.When we arrived they didn't even have a pitch for us even though we had booked 2 months earlier and paid in full so we had to pitch in the middle of the site. The site is sandwiched between to scrapyards witch have each got two cranes moving cars etc and revving their engines at 8 o' clock in the morning on the left hand side there is a number of old lorries parked. The site is littered with building materiel's rubbish cement mixers etc also if you don't like motorbike noise avoid Thursday nights because the speedway track is not far away and the noise is loud! the chemical waste is surrounded by building materials and if the cranes dont wake you up in the morning then the peacocks certainly will witch were kept in appalling conditions i might add take my advise go somewhere else

wow thats one hell of a font you got there!

Best bet is to submit a review on the review of the site to help others in (not) choosing the site.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad time in IOW. Hope the review gets posted soon as we went to Whitecliff Bay this year but have already looked for a different site for next year and there is only one ok review for this site from last year. If there are not to many reviews on particular sites we fancy we always search the site on here aswell. You can always find some nice person who as visited a site and they will let you know what they think and if no one answers we avoid the site.

Better luck next time hope you find a really good site.

Hi, I'm sorry you had such a bad time. I've been to the IOW loads of times and never had a bad time or been on a bad site - we went to the one in Shanklin last time (think it may have been lower hyde but cant remember) and it was great.
