10 Best Isle Of Wight Caravan Holiday Parks 2025

The Isle of Wight is a fantastic family holiday location with sandy beaches, summertime festivals and a history of Kings and Queens (well, King Charles I and Queen Victoria at least).

It's got a big choice of beaches, ranging from sandy bucket-and-spade locations like Sandown and Shanklin, through to isolated rocky spots along the South Wight coastline. It's also home to the world's largest yachting Regatta (Cowes Week) and the Isle of Wight Festival. As you might have gathered, I'm a big fan.

The cost of the Isle of Wight ferry can add a lot to the cost, particularly if you visit during summer school holidays (return fares for cars can be £300 at peak times). However, several holiday parks can get you a hefty discount so you will pay more like £100-£150 on peak or £70-£100 during off peak dates. 

Most offer some discount but we've found particularly big ferry discounts via Away Resorts (Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, The Lakes, Rookley and St Helen’s) and via Parkdean Resorts (Nodes Point, Landguard, Lower Hyde and Thorness Bay).
 
We’ve picked 10 caravan holiday parks worth a look, including busy family friendly holiday parks with indoor swimming pools as well as some quiet holiday parks.

1. Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park Bembridge (busy holiday park, beachside, indoor swimming pool, big ferry discount)

**Whitecliff Bay Discount Code: up to 15% off via this link with code FOMO15 until 07/02/25 + cheap ferry travel**
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park’s trump card is its location next to a beautiful sandy beach, which doesn’t get too busy as it is only really used by residents at a couple of holiday parks. 
 
The park itself is run by Away Resorts and has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sauna, table tennis, a playground, crazy golf, soft play as well as kids' and evening entertainment. They also put on outdoor cinema during the summer and there are various activities you can pay extra for. The beach has a cafe which is a good place to say things like "ahhhh, this is nice".
 
Bembridge is on the east of the Isle of Wight. It’s near to Sandown and Ryde but it’s a long drive to The Needles in the West Wight (well, an hour, which is a long drive by Isle of Wight standards)
​
Reviews average 4/5 on TripAdvisor or slightly higher on some other review sites. 

Make sure you take advantage of the generous ferry discount that you can get by booking via Away Resorts. I checked prices for a week in August 2025 and found that the price of the ferry dropped from £236 to £105 if I used the Away Resorts discount!

Prices at Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park vary a bit depending on the day you arrive. It's worth being flexible as weekday arrivals can be quite a lot cheaper than breaks that start on Saturdays or Sundays.
 
Price: £1120 for a family of four for a week in August 2025 in a 'Value Chalet'

2. Nodes Point Holiday Park St Helen's (good facilities, beachside, indoor swimming pool)

**Nodes Point offers: Caravan holidays from £99**
Parkdean Resorts Nodes Point will tick most boxes for a family looking for a beach holiday on the Isle of Wight. It's a former Park Resorts holiday park that is dog friendly.
 
The park is right next to the sandy(ish) beach at St. Helen’s that has knee-deep water for paddling. It’s also got enough onsite to fill a couple of days if the sun doesn’t shine, including an indoor swimming pool, all-weather sports court, adventure playground and bar and restaurant. In the summer you can ride horses along the beach and pretend you’re in a 1980s film.
 
It gets solid reviews of 4/5 on TripAdvisor.
 
Nodes Point is at the eastern end of the Isle of Wight in a quiet area, so you’ll need a car if you want to visit busier resorts like Shanklin, Ventnor or Ryde.

As with Whitecliff Bay, you can get a good discount on the Isle of Wight ferry by booking with the holiday park company.
 
Price: £1089 for a family of four staying in a Wolverton chalet for a week in August 2025.

3. Lower Hyde Holiday Park Shanklin (indoor swimming pool, near railway, 20 mins walk to beach)

​​**Lower Hyde offers: Caravan holidays from £99 + cheap ferry travel**
Lower Hyde is the sister holiday park to Landguard in Shanklin. They’re both busy parks with plenty to do and they get similar reviews. 

I would recommend either park to families looking for a fairly cheap holiday park with plenty to do onsite, and with a sandy beach within walking distance. Personally, I prefer Shanklin to Sandown, but the latter does have a pier and decent seafront attractions too. Shanklin's seafront is very appealing on a sunny day, with three minigolf courses, deck chairs and some pleasant cafes and restaurants.

I prefer Lower Hyde to Landguard as it's got a more spacious and leafy layout. You can also park your car next to your caravan at Lower Hyde, whereas Landguard has a shared car park.

Landguard's main advantage is that it has an indoor swimming pool, whereas Lower Hyde just has an outdoor pool. However, the two parks are linked with a footpath and you can use the facilities are either of them regardless of which one you choose.

Another slight advantage that Lower Hyde offers over Landguard is that is a bit nearer to the train station at Shanklin. So, you could easily get the foot passenger ferry or hovercraft to Ryde Pierhead or Ryde Esplanade and then take the short train ride to Shanklin.
 
You’ll be able to get around the Isle of Wight on the buses, though it is a fair bit slower than driving (see our Isle of Wight Guru site for public transport advice).

​You get a discount on the Isle of Wight ferry with this one as well.
 
Price: £979 for a 'Sand' caravan for a family of four for a week during August 2025.

4. Landguard Holiday Park Shanklin (indoor swimming pool, 20 minutes walk to beach)

​**Landguard offers: Caravan holidays from £99 + cheap ferry travel**​

**Winner: best value Isle of Wight holiday park**

As discussed in fascinating detail above (number 3), there are two Parkdean Resorts caravan holiday parks in Shanklin – Landguard and Lower Hyde. They are both former Park Resorts holiday parks and you can use facilities at either one, regardless of which one you choose.
 
Both get 4/5 on TripAdvisor and are about 20 minutes walk from the beach. 

Landguard and Lower Hyde both have places to eat, kids entertainment and play areas but Landguard is a bit quieter and more relaxed entertainment.

If they are the same price, I would go for Lower Hyde. If Landguard is considerably cheaper then go for that one and use the facilities at Lower Hyde. 
 
Price: £799 for a Poplar caravan for a week for a family of four in August 2025 (sleeps up to six so you could bring a couple of extras).

5. The Lakes, Rookley (central location, indoor swimming pool, good ferry discount)

**The Lakes Discount Code: up to 15% off via this link with code FOMO15 until 07/02/25 + cheap ferry travel**
The Lakes, Rookley was previously called Rookley Country Park before it was taken over by Aria Resorts and then sold to Away Resorts (Ed: should I be taking notes?).

It's been undergoing some upgrades and now scores 4/5 on Google Reviews. Previously, it didn't get quite as strong reviews as some holiday parks on the Isle of Wight (about 3.5/5).

It’s in a central location, which means you’ll never drive more than about 20-25 minutes for a day out.
 
It’s also got indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as a bar, a children’s playground and somewhere to eat. The lakes are used for kayaking and standup paddleboarding. They also put on entertainment during peak periods.

The nearest beaches are family friendly ones at Sandown, Shanklin or Ventnor which are all about 15 minutes in the car. You can bring dogs and - as with other Away Resorts sites - you get a ferry discount.

​​Price: £801 for a week in a two bedroom 'Comfort' caravan for a family of four in August 2025.

6. St Helen’s Coastal Resort (outdoor swimming pool, good reviews, big ferry discount)

**St Helens Discount Code: Up to 15% off via this link with code FOMO15 until 07/02/24 + cheap ferry travel**
St Helen’s Coastal Resort is another one that has changed its name a few times. You'll also see it called St Helen's Holiday Park. It is now owned by Away Resorts, who took over the site in 2022. It is near to Nodes Point Holiday Park but it’s a much quieter option with simpler facilities. 
 
There’s an outdoor swimming pool that is small but heated, as well as space outside the lodges to kick a ball around. Some of the lodge accommodation has hot tubs. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the beach.
 
I personally really like the local area, which has a nature reserve called The Duver that is looked after by the National Trust. It’s also near to posh Bembridge and there’s a watersports company in the area where you can hire kayaks or standup paddleboards.
 
Reviews average 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor or slightly lower on Google reviews. You couldn’t spend all week onsite, but if you’ve travelled miles and then got on a ferry to waste all your time in a bingo hall then there’s no helping you… 

In previous years it has been one of the more expensive Isle of Wight holiday parks but we found prices were very competitive for 2024 and 2025.

Price: £979 for a family of four, staying in a 'luxury caravan' for a week in August 2025.

7. Cheverton Copse Holiday Park Sandown (basic facilities, outstanding reviews)

Cheverton Copse gets the best reviews of all of the Isle of Wight's holiday parks - and it is one of the cheaper options. 

However, it's not for everyone because there's not a lot to do onsite and it isn't right by the sea. It's best to think of it as a base for a cheap and peaceful holiday, rather than somewhere to slide down some flumes.


There isn’t a swimming pool, but there is a games room, a children’s play area and a clubhouse during peak season. It’s a couple of miles inland on the busier and more touristy side of the Isle of Wight, half way between Sandown and Shanklin.

Reviews are consistently brilliant, averaging 5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor or 4.7/5 on Google Reviews.

8. Thorness Bay Holiday Park (indoor swimming, beachside)

​​**Thorness Bay offers: Caravan holidays from £99 + cheap ferry travel**
Thorness Bay is another Parkdean Resorts holiday park (it was a Park Resorts site before the companies merged).
 
Generally, it doesn’t get as good reviews as you’ll find at the other three Parkdean Resorts sites on the Isle of Wight (Landguard, Lower Hyde and Nodes Point).
 
However, it does have some plus points.
 
In most price comparisons we’ve done it is the cheapest of the four, so is a good option if you want a well-equipped and busy family holiday park on a budget.
 
It is also in a very remote location, on the rarely explored North-West coast of the Island (you’ll need a car). The beach is a scrubby natural haven type of place, rather than a sandy beach with ice cream stalls. The beach is mostly just used by holiday park residents, plus a few visiting anglers and is right on the park’s doorstep.
 
Onsite at Thorness Bay you’ll find an indoor swimming pool, as well as a sports court, adventure playground, bar and restaurant and the usual entertainments. You can bring dogs and guests get a good discount on the ferry.
 
Price comparison: £879 for a week in a Regatta Chalet for a family of four in August 2025.

9. Orchards Holiday Park near Yarmouth (quiet park, indoor and outdoor swimming pools)

Orchards Holiday Park is a friendly caravan park that is well placed for exploring the West Wight, which (in my opinion) is the prettiest side of the Island.
 
It’s a quiet location and you couldn’t spend all week onsite, but its trump card is its indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Don’t expect bingo nights or karaoke, but you can hope that the children might put down their smartphones and get some fresh air.
 
It isn’t right by the beach unfortunately, but the Isle of Wight isn’t huge so you can be at the coast in about 10 minutes in a car. It's near to Tapnell Farm Park and it isn't far from Freshwater Bay and Compton Bay, which are both nice beaches.
​
Reviews are very good for this one – averaging 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

Price: £950 for a Pippin caravan for a week in August 2025 for a family of four.

10. Appuldurcombe Gardens Holiday Park (outdoor pool, rural location, great reviews)

Appuldurcombe Gardens is the only holiday park in the South of the Isle of Wight to make our list, and it gets great reviews (generally 4.5/5)
 
It’s got an outdoor swimming pool in summer and a play area and bar. It’s also right by the remains of an old manor house which has grounds designed by Capability Brown, which makes for a rather idyllic setting.
 
You’ll need a car for this one. It’s a short drive to Ventnor which is a pleasant seaside town that still thinks it is the 19th century. There are also some nice walks in the local area.

It's also fairly near to Steephill Cove, which is a pretty little beach with cottages and a couple of places to eat.


Price: £1010 for a week in a Compton caravan for a family of four in August 2024 (we couldn't find 2025 prices).

Price comparison of the Isle of Wight's 10 best caravan holiday parks

Yes, we know that prices vary throughout the year and that there are special offers... 

For what it's worth here is our price comparison for a family of four staying in an Isle of Wight holiday park caravan for a week in August 2025. We looked for the cheapest option available and searched in October 2024. Most were arriving and leaving on a Saturday, but a couple were Friday or Sunday arrival instead.
