Just Ensure you dont try crossing during the festival periods as a ticket to New York would probably be cheaper! I used to got to take my camper to music festivals regularly in the past, but sadly realised the ferry costs were kicking the backside out of going to the IOW over that period! Think its the reason why Bestival up sticks and moved to Dorset!
Hi Trevor. Yes we are trying to avoid festival and school hols.
Happy Jack.

Hi all. Been quiet for a while busy.
Thinking of on Isle of Wight in May.
Possibly staying at Whitefield forest.co.uk.
They have good facilities and bus stop just outside the site,
we could use our bus passes to get about.
Campsite looks good and price is £195, 14 nights for 2 people and van.
They also get ferry at £100 ( Red Funnel ) or £140 for Wightlink.
Have to do a bit more research but coming from the North East we would have a couple nights at 2 or 3 sites on the way down (cs1166 overlooking the Solent looks good to be near the ferry) and same on the way back. Probably ccc cs sites.
Would appreciate your thoughts on the ferry options and also the site on the Island. Also, recommendations on where to visit while on the Island. We will be NT members and we love walking and beaches.
Keith.
Hi Bina.
If you are ccc members then when you log in and do map search, filter out the cs and cl sites to leave just ccc club sites.
Then select a site you fancy, have a look and you should come across 40% off code GRASSUK40. Not all sites have this discount. It is also only for minimum 3 nights and must book 14 days ahead.
Happy Jack.
Thanks Happy Jack. I’ll follow it up - £12 a night sounds amazing. Also - just looked at Whitefields site and it is showing £195 for seven nights but £390 for 14 nights. Did you find a discount for that as well?

Iirc the emission zone in Portsmouth is for taxis and doesn't affect motorhomes.
However Wightlink are fairly mercenary since they were taken over by the venture capitalists I'd avoid them out of principal.
There's lots to do on the island, depends on what you are interested in.
We take the kids and wild camp, have found dinosaur bone fossils as well as other interesting things like turtle shell fossils too. Everywhere is pretty close since it's quite small, and you'll never drive the full length or breadth, unless going from niton (lighthouse and walks) to cowes or Culver (views) to the needles...
Hi Trevor. Thanks, it opens up possibilities for which ferry to take.
Already noticed red funnel is cheaper.
Happy Jack.

If you have Tesco vouchers you can use them 2 for 1 on Wightlink (used to be 3 to 1 but changed last winter). Don't know about Red Funnel as we always use Wightlink since it's closer. Think you have enough info on places to visit but enjoy it as it's a bit of a step back in time to a slower pace of life.
Hi Don.
Got no Tesco vouchers. Will enjoy slow pace.
Happy Jack.

We now live on IoW and run a Guesthouse on Shanklin seafront. We have trade accounts for all ferries and the price you are getting is better than we can offer to our guests. So go for it. We have also stayed at Whitefield and its great. I love it there. Nice site and well kept.

There are places to park the MH but I'd agree that its sometimes tricky - like anywhere really. Best option for some ventures out is to catch the bus. Island Coaster is good fun but check the route for your destinations. It's cheap and efficient. Mostly though you can find places if visiting out of the school holidays. Quite busy here otherwise.

Pasted here is our recommendations on attractions we give to guests - it's a personal view and biased a little toward Shanklin as our guests are here so take it as is but hope it will help....


THINGS TO DO



Alum Bay & The Needles, Totland Bay


This has got to be the most famous attraction for the island. It’s over the other side of the island – and should be visited on a sunny day. Leave early as you’ll probably have to queue up to 30 or 40 minutes to get in.



At the top there’s a few “touristy” bits – there’s lovely IOW Glass and they do 4 demonstrations a day so it’s really interesting to see that. You can also (if you really want !) make yourselves a sandy ornament in one of the shops (i.e. spoon coloured sand from the cliffs into a glass lighthouse or teddy bear ornament !!!)



Then you need to take the chairlift down to the beach and do the slow boat trip (takes about 25 minutes). There’s a guide & he points out local landmarks, etc. and we even saw dolphins last August !!! It costs £8 per person (2023).



There is also a fast boat trip which takes 15 minutes and costs £15 per person (2023) and which some guests have experienced saying it was exhilarating and gave them an even better view of The Needles.



Take layers as it will be breezy…



Osbourne House, East Cowes

Queen Victoria loved the island and (particularly if you’re a royalist) you will enjoy this visit back in time. There are also beautiful gardens to walk around and you can get down to the beach (and in season there’s a little shuttle bus to take you & bring you back if you’re tired !!!)



Shanklin Chine

Right on the doorstep – 5 minutes walk from Pink Beach !!! It’s got lots of exotic plants and even a waterfall ! There’s a café serving cakes, cream teas & ice-creams (no alcohol) and in season they have a chatty acoustic guitar guy on a Tuesday and Thursday evening – which is worth a listen. Also I’m not normally one for museums but DO go into the museum in the conservatory and learn about PLUTO (Pipeline Under The Ocean) !!!



It doesn’t close until 10pm and it’s all lit up and pretty by night.



Quarr Abbey, Ryde

I only found out about this a couple of years ago. I’m Catholic so I always like visiting churches – so there’s an abbey, beautiful gardens, a tea shop, farm shop & visitor centre, a lovely little shop selling holy things and they even have little piggies on site too. And it’s free – run by volunteers.



Godshill

You have to go to the picturesque village of Godshill and have a cream tea. It’s full of thatched cottages, there’s a big (free) carpark, a model village, the Old Smithy (café, shops & gardens) and the main street also has loads of little shops to wander around with local produce (pickles, ciders, etc.



Shanklin Old Village

Most of my restaurant & pub recommendations are for the picturesque old village – but take a trip in the daytime to visit Jingle Bells (the all year Christmas shop), other little gift shops, cream tea cafes, the Rock Shop, the Donut Hut (also with crepes & ice creams) and even a mini golf course ! And it’s really pretty by night too with twinkly lights.



Shanklin Theatre

The theatre is also in the old village and have they have some really good bands, etc.



Check out the website for details:- https://www.shanklintheatre.com/events.aspx?cookie=3



☔️ RAINY DAY SUGGESTIONS ☔

The Isle of Wight is lucky to be one of the sunniest places in England, enjoying a weekly average of 37 hours of sun, compared to the national average of 29.



However this is England (!) so should you encounter a rainy day during your stay, perhaps you may enjoy:-



Busy Bee Garden Centre (PO33 1QG)

Busy Bee is a huge award-winning garden centre with an array of items for both the home and garden: a gift & hobby craft shop, locally produced food area, garden living, pet care & aquatics and of course plants which are largely grown in their onsite nursery.



It also boasts the lovely Olive Tree Restaurant with a hearty menu to suit all tastes – including it’s own on-site pizza oven !



Oasis Home Store (PO36 0QA)

Large store with a huge selection reasonably priced unusual homeware & gifts – my own personal “go to” – drop in & take a look – you won’t be disappointed 🛍️



Cineworld, Newport (PO30 2TA)

As you would expect at home.



Commodore Cinema, Ryde (PO33 2HX)

Blast from the past - this not-so-modern cinema – is a bargain with all tickets priced at £4 !!! The last time I went, I spent more on sweeties than on the tickets (so pick your’s up from Morrison’s or Poundland before you go !!!)



Shopping In Newport

Your Tourist Parking Permit will not cover you for the Riverway car park but there are lots of other car parks in the area (e.g. Marks and Spencer, Medina Avenue Car Park - just across the road from M&S). Not exactly Oxford St (!) Newport does have a T K Max, Next, H&M, New Look, Matalan & The Works…. Then you could go & treat yourself to a nice sandwich & cake at Café Isola (with a good GF range) and take a look at the local crafts on the upper floor.



And some of the attractions listed below are more inside than out – but we hope this helps 😊





BEST OF THE REST…


If you like animals, there’s also lots of attractions like The Donkey Sanctuary, Monkey Haven, Amazon World Zoo Park, Wildheart Animal Santuary, Haven Falconry & Butterfly World.



Then there’s Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Carisbrooke Castle, The Isle of Wight Pearl (but you’ll end up buying a piece of pearl jewellery !!) & The Garlic Farm to name but a few.



This is by no means a full definitive list so please see below for a list of 83 attractions with postcodes (which my hubby found recently) in case the names of any of the rest spark your interest.



Warmest wishes

HI Windy and thanks.
Will check out all your info.
Just a note on ferry cost. Omitted to mention cost I quoted was for car !!!!! Hadn't noticed that. I have to phone them for cost for campervan. Will do it at end of month when I get " paid".
already maxed out on spending this month.
will do our site booking at same time.
We will get about by bus prefarabky.
Do you know if we can use our bus passes and from what time each day?
Happy Jack.

(01983-293452) half mile from ferry , overlooking the Solent & cruise movement They have preferential 'Red Funnel ' bookings too.I'm there now,ferry out & ferry back 10 days on site £ 332 (including 'Insignature Lounge both ways ),hard standing,electric,water,drainoff,all facilities including wash room ,showers,bar& restaurant,swimming pool.Walking distance into town or Cowes Walking distance to the "RNLI Lifeboat manufacturing facility & VERY good eatery/ pub nearby " The Lifeboat " .Buses outside Waitrose to anywhere.
Hi Triky.
Did look at Waverley.
Only open field (no EHU )available now for June & July.
Cost £200 for 10 nights + ferry cost.
Would be OK as we have solar but had checked out on you tube someone did site tour.
Field looks very sloping apart from top end and bottom end.
don't eat to risk being on a bad slope. Our levelling chocks will only do so much.
Can you confirm the slope and is there cdp place.
Waverley is still possible. Did like the look of that area.
Happy Jack.

The Campsite must be partnered with Red Funnel so they may also know this year's pricing for the Red Funnel camping deals if they do include that campsite again - may be worth checking as it could be cheaper again?
I can’t get that and I live on the Island!

Great beaches at Sandown and Shanklin but, depending on the size of your van, parking may be an issue. Compton Bay is a lovely beach, including surfing, but no facilities, although toilets are currently being constructed.

It's shocking that Islands residents are no longer catered for and given cheaper ferries, the discount they now give out is a joke. Most of the time i can get over there cheaper than they can to come over to the mainland.

Hi Colin.
Just checked Heathfield farm website again.
Red funnel S/Hampton to Cowes is £109 and Wightlink is £119 Lymington to Yarmouth.
Both return price in early July when we are planning.
Would prefer Lymington as it ties in nicely coming from Salisbury ccc club site down the A36, M27; A337.
Appreciate could go from A36 shorter distance to Red Funnel S/Hampton but would be longer ferry journey then a short road distance further from Cowes to freshwater, but as it's only £10 more think we will go Lym/Yar.
BUT, that is for a car up to 5m.
Will have to ring them for campervan prices.
Happy Jack.

Sorry triky, meant chemical disposal point for toilet cassette.
if you look at Waverley park on Google maps, you can see the open field down from the 24 ? hardstanding pitches. The field looks like grass on ly, and open field pitches are available.

Really enjoy Wight. Just booked for the third year running at Appuldurcombe. Used the Red Funnel inclusive offer, end august, 10 days £466 for 8m moho and fully serviced pitch.
Wouldn't consider driving anywhere once parked up, bus service is excellent. At this site, stop is on doorstep, buses every half hour. If you wanted to go large, they even run night buses, at weekends in the small hours! Bus pass accepted everywhere save on the "Breeze" tourist buses.
Great for walking also - several guides available.

Hi ericonabike.
Appledurcombe is/was on our list. Looks good and still in the running.
Price for our dates (approx 8th July, 10 nights) is £335 fully serviced. Ferry cost would be extra.
Will bell Appledurcombe and Heathfield to get total costs.
Heathfield do 2 OAPs for £160 for 7 nights. Will ask them if they can do 14 nights at same rate. £320 for 14 nights would be good value. That price is grass with EHU.
Happy Jack.

Hi again Eric.
Forgot to mention, Heathield price for 10 nights is £310 when we are going + ferry cost which is not on their website for campervans. Car is £109. Will have to bell them for price.

Check out the ferry fares, you may be able to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to reduce the cost.
Visit the Needles battery, Carrick Castle, Tennyson’s monument. Buses are integrated with walks - pick up walk details in the bus stations.
Can’t advise site locally, we are too local!

Hi Wightman.
Yes we are ccc. Will have a look at ferry cost as you suggest but now thinking of Heathfield farm at freshwater. Similar price as Whitefield and they can get good ferry cost. Thinking of Lymington to Yarmouth or Southamton to Yarmouth.
Also, good bus service, we can use our bus passes. Will us van to get around if necessary.
Happy Jack.
There is no Southampton to Yarmouth ferry, the only crossing to Yarmouth is Wightlink from Lymington.
The Freshwater area is lovely, nice walks along the river Year back to Lymington on either side of the river.

Hi Triky. Thanks will have a look but all sorted now.
have booked Dairymans Daughter campsite just South of Newport. Excellent spot for getting around by bus and since we have our own facilities doesn't matter that it's basic. A steal at £7 a night. Have booked ferry through ccc £152 standard return. Could have got economy for £122 but since site was cheap enough then the extra is worth it for peace of mind.
Now booking sites to get there and back.
Happy Jack.
