I stayed at this campsite for a couple of nights. We are a family of 4 and there was plenty of room for all of us. The showers/cooking facilities were excellent and there were plenty of activities to do on the farm.

Great shipping container cabins, cosy and comfortable, even in strong winds and summer heat! The location was great, gorgeous and well positioned for lots of activities locally. The facilities, like shared kitchen and toilets/shower, were excellent and well maintained. Would really recommend!
Comfortable but had a problem with noise

The cabin was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The toilet and kitchen facilities were top notch. Plenty to do without leaving the site. Food at The Cow is very tasty. I also love that a bus service stops onsite too, it made a welcome change from driving. The only issues I had was with different groups of people renting out a cabin behind me just to use it for one night as somewhere to party. I was awoken over 2 nights by different groups of people, loudly playing music. I had to go out to tell them to be quiet at 11pm, 1am and 3am. Although I made a complaint, nothing could be done the day after. I found it unacceptable on a site otherwise full of young families with children. It wouldn't put me off coming again another time, but I won't be rushing to book again next year.

There is so much to do onsite, you will never need to leave! The farm park is perfect for little ones with go-karts, giant bouncing pillows, fun in the barn and animals. You can meet sheep, goats, wallabies, meerkats, alpacas, pigs, donkeys and more.
For your own 'Total Wipeout' experience, the Isle of Wight Aqua Park is the place to be. Venture over 20 obstacles and try your best not to fall in! If you want to stay dry, there is also axe throwing, archery and clay pigeon shooting available.
The coast is also only a five minute drive away for days by the sea. Freshwater Bay (5 minutes) offers idyllic clifftop views, whilst Compton Beach (10 minutes) provides a sandy stretch for swimming.
