Grange Farm Brighstone Bay
Grange Farm Brighstone Bay

Turquoise blue sea laps against the white limestone formations of the cliffs in the distance and lush green meadows slope gently down to the water's edge. Holidaymakers planning to camp with children are in perfect hands on this island on the south coast of England, but camping by the sea is also ideal for nature lovers and travellers with dogs.

Special features of camping on the Isle of Wight

Camping on the Isle of Wight is one of the best ways to get to know the island. More than half of the island is unspoilt, making it the ideal place to relax and unwind in the great outdoors. Campsites in the countryside offer a wide selection of directly connected hiking trails through the fields, past farms and into the woods.

Some campsites on the Isle of Wight have their own lakes for fishing, making lakeside camping a real experience. Others specialise in camping with children. They are attached to smaller farms where children can get up close to the animals. The Isle of Wight is perfect for camping by the sea and leaves nothing to be desired thanks to the large selection of different campsites.

Travelling to the Isle of Wight

Travelling to the Isle of Wight is exclusively by water. A ferry takes visitors and residents from Southampton or Portsmouth to the island and back to the mainland. Depending on how you want to travel, there are various ways to get to the Isle of Wight. If you are travelling by car, the route from Calais to Dover is the best option from mainland Europe.

This is the shortest crossing between the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. From Dover, the quickest way to get to Portsmouth is via the A3 and M20, which takes around 2.5 hours. The crossing from Portsmouth ferry harbour to the Isle of Wight takes an additional 1.5 hours.

It is more convenient to fly to London. There are several destinations to choose from. The best option is London Gatwick Airport, as from there you can easily reach Portsmouth by express train. From Portsmouth train station, it is only a short distance to the ferry harbour, which is easily accessible on foot or by taxi.

Destinations on the Isle of Wight

There is plenty to discover on the Isle of Wight, even away from the beaches. The island exudes the natural charm of historic buildings in every nook and cranny, embedded in the wild nature of the island.

The Needles - famous limestone cliffs

Don't miss the steep, snow-white limestone rock formations of The Needles on the western corner of the island with their lighthouse. The journey there is a sight in itself.

Back to the past on the historic railway

The island has something very special in store for all those travelling with children or who fancy a trip back in time. A trip on the island's historic steam railway is a real experience, and not just when the sun is shining.

Unspoilt, wild nature - up close and personal

Nature and wildlife conservation is a top priority on the island and numerous areas attract nature enthusiasts and hikers. It is well known that the English are particularly proud of their gardens and so the Isle of Wight is home to several spacious parks that reflect the charm of the island in miniature with great attention to detail.

Activities and excursions on the Isle of Wight

There is an amazing amount to see when camping on the Isle of Wight. There are well over 50 attractions waiting to be discovered, as well as countless outdoor activities on the beach, in the countryside and in the parks.

Water sports or horse riding in unspoilt nature

Water sports enthusiasts love the island, as there is a wide range of options. There are also boat trips including fishing or charters for a trip on your own. For horse-riding enthusiasts, the Isle of Wight offers extensive bridle paths that wind their way through seemingly unspoilt nature and past wild animals.

It's raining - it's boring? Not on the Isle of Wight

Rainy days can be bridged with a spa, a visit to one of the more than 30 museums on the island or shopping. Lovingly decorated, small speciality shops and two farmers' markets offer local crafts and produce from local farms.

Gastronomy on the Isle of Wight

The gastronomic diversity on the Isle of Wight offers local food and drink as well as international cuisine. Countless restaurants and bars are open all year round and are located directly on the waterfront. Most of them offer fantastic sea views from their sun terraces, where guests should be sure to sample local specialities.

The beach bars and restaurants are generally lovingly decorated and offer local and international specialities. Seafood in particular is on every menu and an afternoon tea with a banoffee pie or the Maids of Honour tart is simply part of a holiday in this region.

Weather on the Isle of Wight

The weather on the Isle of Wight is - typically English - somewhat rainy and unsettled, but extremely mild. The temperature has hardly ever dropped below freezing since records began and is at least 2 degrees Celsius above zero even on cold days. The winter sunshine hours per day are rather sparse.

According to statistics, the island gets just one hour of sunshine per day, but the summer months manage up to seven hours of sunshine per day. On average, it rains around 12 days a month on the beautiful island, whether it's summer or winter. In the summer months, the thermometer even climbs to a pleasant 23 degrees Celsius.
