Ninham Country Holidays

A well-kept woodland campsite on the Isle of Wight where the long entrance drive signals you've properly arrived somewhere.

Ninham sits in mature woodland above the southern stretch of the Isle of Wight, a short walk from Shanklin and a few minutes from the coastal path that threads down to unspoilt beaches. The grounds are generous and quiet, with large pitches spaced among the trees and a 9pm quiet hours policy that the site enforces without apology.

The facilities are genuinely well looked-after: the shower block is regularly cited as spotless, with a family-sized cubicle for parents with young children, drinkable water points across the site, a wash-up area, and laundry if you need it. There is a heated pool, a games room, and a climbing-frame playground. For a family who wants entertainment on the doorstep rather than a drive, this earns its keep.

Off-site, the network of footpaths and bridleways starts directly from the exit gate. Shanklin town is twenty minutes on foot, with pubs closer still. Supermarkets are five minutes by car or cycle. The Needles and Osborne House are both within easy reach for a day's exploring.
