Family fun, dog friendly & beautiful beaches at Southlands
Situated on the outskirts of the small village of Newchurch in the beautiful Arreton Valley, Southland Club Campsite is a great location to enjoy your holiday. Half the island is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are over 120 attractions and places of interest for you and your family to visit.
Southland Club Campsite is a great choice for an Isle of Wight caravan park. It has flat, level, well drained meadowland pitches as well as a large playground and play areas. Trees and shrubs punctuate the site layout, giving a peaceful feeling of privacy. The caravan park is convenient for all parts of the island, and within easy reach of some of the finest beaches.
The island has an excellent bus transport system and you can catch buses from the Isle of Wight Zoo which frequently run into Sandown and Newport. Sandown and Shanklin are only 3 miles by road and both of these towns share the same sheltered bay with its sandy beaches and safe bathing, perfect for families. Newchurch village with its charming Norman church is five minutes on foot and there you will also find a pleasant country inn serving fresh, hearty food.
The garlic farm, a short distance from the site, is said to make the best coffee on the island. Slightly further afield there are loads of fun activities available including sea and freshwater fishing, golf, tennis, squash, swimming, horse riding, windsurfing, sailing and more. The information room at the site offers plenty more ideas for getting out and about in the local area.

Great site
Southland Club Campsite
Had an enjoyable week over half term at Southlands. The wardens are always friendly and helpful. This site is always very peaceful and therefore perfect for some downtime. It is one of our favourite sites to visit.
We have visited this site a few times before and have never had a problem getting on the site a bit early when the ferry crossings arrive, until now. Head office now impose a 'one rule, fits all' policy and therefore you are unable to access the site until 1pm. Whilst this works ok on mainland UK sites it does not work on this small island. There's only a small number of caravans permitted on each ferry crossing and therefore it is impossible to arrange arrival exactly when the head office rules state. By nature of the island the roads are small and therefore there is nowhere to stop with a large caravan on tow. Our ferry was one hour late arriving but still we spent 55 minutes driving around the island killing time until 12 o'clock (this is when the wardens allowed access in the short term, since the arrival time change). We had been turned around at the site by the Wardens(not their fault) because they have been instructed that this is what has to be done. This is especially crazy given that it is the club arranging the ferry crossings and therefore are fully aware of the limited travel option. Head office really need to sort this out for Island stays otherwise it will just deter people from visiting. We were only one of many caravans driving around the Island killing time on this day.

Brilliant wardens
Southland Club Campsite
Just had a week at this well kept site. The Wardens were amazing, some of the best we have ever had. Always cheerful and smiling and a warm welcome on site even though we were early due to the ferry timetables. Always waving to you as you went past and you felt really welcome.
The site is so well laid out and the shop on site is always well stocked, try the New Forest ice cream it is gorgeous. We were welcomed by one of the resident robins who spent most of the week bombing in and out of our awning for titbits, they had us taped. We ate at the Pointer Inn down the road and I have to say the food was excellent, always fresh and well prepared and a choice of regular size plate or smaller. We reduced down to the smaller plate size as the regular was too much for us, but really good value for money. I would recommend booking if you want to eat there as it is so busy because of the good food.
Well done to the Wardens on this excellent site.

Southland Club Campsite
First of all I must say it was a lovely clean well kept site wardens were always out and about doing jobs and they were always willing to stop and have a chat
We were in a motorhome but we got about with our electric bikes and the buses. Your best bet is to turn right outside the site go down the hill to the cross roads turn right and there are 2 bus stops for different directions 20 mins into Newport and you can get a bus to anywhere. We got an 24 hr bus ticket for £10 so we could get on and off where ever you wanted we timed it right to get 2 tickets that lasted us 3 days.
The pub down the road ( left as you come out of the site) was very nice food would highly recommend it was called the pointer another pub about 20 mins walking called the fighting cocks I wouldn't recommend it was just ok
Red squirrel cycling tracks were very good kept you off main roads.
Will definitely return one day
Excellent Site

What a wonderful site!
We've just stayed at Southland's over the Easter holidays with 2 dogs and a 5 year old and loved every bit of the site.
On arrival we were greeted by the friendly wardens who were very helpful and clearly keep the site immaculate.
It was a 20-25 minute drive from Fishbourne ferry and the site is so well positioned, pretty much in the middle of the island and so easy to get everywhere.
The site is spacious and very peaceful. Lovely dog friendly areas and a great off-the-lead dog walk. Our 5 year old loved the play park which is very well equipped.
Toilet and shower facilities were excellent, spotless and had lovely hot showers. Big thumbs up there.
Another big bonus for us was the ferry discount you get from CMC. You just phone them up and they sort all the ferry booking out for you and you get huge savings. We were tipped-off about this by another CMC member, otherwise we wouldn't have known you can get discount and probably wouldn't have booked.
We are so glad we did and we are already planning our return trip.
Thank you Southland's for a wonderful holiday.

Southland Club Campsite
We were so impressed with this site when we visited over Easter and we had the most wonderful warm welcome when we arrived. The staff were so friendly and informative. The pitches were lovely and we had beautiful sunshine all day and the wardens gave us advise on the pitches based on what we wanted. The facilities were great and immaculately kept. I loved that fact that every morning the wardens brought out a giant connector 4 and games onto the green for the children to play. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Can’t recommended highly enough and I wish all the sites were like this.
