 Love the position of this site overlooking the sea almost at the cliff edge.

The beach was somewhat of a disappointment, lots of shale which sliced at your legs in the very strong current.

The ablutions block although clean was very out dated and really does need a complete overhaul.

The on-site shop was well stocked with fresh bread/croissants daily.The weekly visit from the fresh pizza van was a nice touch.

Good play area for the children.

 What a great campsite! We spent 3 nights here over Easter and were more than happy with everything! We pitched right on the edge of the cliff, what a view to wake up to every morning. The nearby beach was tranquil, the farm on the campsite was great, especially the giant rabbits & llamas. The owners were really welcoming. Showers were fine and on site shop was very well stocked. On top of all this the sunsets were amazing - everyone on the site came out to watch them. An added bonus was the pizza van which came along 2 nights we were there and served the best pizza's ever!
Will definitely go back for a really relaxing break.

 This is a lovely site run by very friendly people. The showers were hot and clean, the staff helpful, and the shop well stocked. It was excellent.

Also, if you're in the area, I highly recommend the Countryman Pub in Brighstone. They served excellent food and made us feel extremely welcome!

 Visited this campsite in August, so quite busy, and had to book, as it is very popular. We have a modern very large tent, and we had to search for a while to find a space to fit it in as the site was nearly full. Loads of showers and toilets, which were always clean, and the showers hot. Nice little shop on site selling essentials, and bits and bobs for the kids to spend their dosh on! Play area and animals good, but most ideally suited to younger children.
We took our bikes with us and cycled to the nearest off site shop which is only about 10 mins ride away. Site is a good base for travelling out to places like Black gang chine and the needles. Beach was OK, but covered in flies when we were there, so we didn't spend much time on it. Very nice to wander down in the evenings though. Very exposed on the cliff top, we had a nasty storm one night and we thought our tent was going to blow away, but generally the view off the sea, and the sound of the waves were really nice.
I would recommend this campsite if you have young children, as there is lots for them to do on site, but if you prefer a bit more space, in July August, then this is not the site for you.

 Found about this site via this forum. We were looking for a child friendly site with lots on site in case of inclement weather. Have to say it fitted the bill fantastically. All the kids wanted to do was play in play area all day, never mind explore the island. They loved the old boat and house top side and the farm animals. Made lots of friends.
Facilities were excellent & kept clean. I loved the showers with lots of hot water at high pressure.
The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We could pitch were we wanted and did so near to the far edge of the site by the sea. The site is very exposed so bear this in mind.
Quiet at night with only the roar of the breaking waves.The beach at the bottom is a bonus, it is mainly pebbles but did provide the boys with hours of fossil hunting opportunities.
Shop on site stocks basics but you must buy bread etc first thing as it runs out pronto.
Child friendly pub 5 Min's up road if you fancy a meal out with dinosaur farm and pearl farm close by.

Overall a fabulous site for families on exposed southern edge of isalnd 8.5/10

 Really liked this campsite. Very friendly staff, great location, and plentiful clean facilities.
 
We pretty much had the field to ourselves for two weeks which was lovely and peaceful. The campsite did get amazingly busy from 14th July however as the first schools start to break up.
 
The views from the campsite are amazing and there are plenty of walks along the cliffs.
 
I would definitely come here again.

 Absolutely excellent site - the shop was good - fresh bread daily. People very friendly. The showers and toilets were clean and big, the site was 5 minutes from good beach - all this in isle of Wight. Local pubs not much good for food or beer. Fabulous walks.
Recommended it to our local group - 24 of them went this year (2006) and loved it. The organiser came from the Isle of Wight - had never heard of this site - and was amazed when she checked it out at Easter. We would definitely go again for a bit of Atlantic sea air.

 Nice site as long as you don't need a hard standing (we did given it was raining quite a bit of the time - we didn't actually get stuck but it was pretty close). According to Big Sites Book they have some, but they don't.

Play area looked more interesting than some, although we don't have kids to give their verdict.

Shop/reception was in a portakabin when we went as they were rebuilding but should be finished by now.

The bus route which used to pass the site has been cancelled. Now have to walk into Brighstone (about 1 mile) to catch a bus.

Probably wouldn't return but that would be simply because of the lack of hard-standing, if you don't need that, worth a visit.

An excellent campsite located on the South of the Island which is easily accessable from all main ports on the island, whether towing or not.

Parts of the site can get exposed as it is on the cliff edge and there is nothing between the site and France, apart from water!, but the site has good hedging all around and in it to provide shelter from the winds should it pick up.

There is a direct pathway down to the beach which is great for a paddle and swim but make sure the children are well supervised, the waves can come crashing in!

The site is very flat, but is on the edge of a cliff, which provides great views especially if you are camped on the edge, but could prove to be a little hazardous should you have small children with you, if this is the case, I would suggest you pitch nearer the reception block.

There is a great kiddies playarea, if not a little tired but certainly up to scratch to entertain the littluns. There is also a selection of farm animals on-site to keep the youngsters amused.

There is a shop on site selling all the basics you need plus a few fun items - water-pistols etc.

The showers and toilets were plentyful and during my stay there were always clean and never busy, and the washing up area was again good with plenty of hot water.

There is a pub a few minutes walk out of the site to the left, don't know if family friendly as never ventured there and there is a bus stop linking you to Newport etc about a 10 minute walk along the road.

There is a village about a 5 - 10 minutes drive if you turn right out of the site that has a Spar type shop and a couple of decent pubs for a meal out.

Would I go again, yes but don't forget the windbreak if you want to pitch on the cliff edge and have a BBQ!

A truly wonderful campsite. The owners are very friendly and helpful, the site is clean and tidy.
A short walk to the beach. My 7yr daughter and her cousins loved the play park and animals.
This campsite is a must. Happy Camping.
