Ferry View Campsite

The Solent slips past just beyond the hedge, close enough to hear the churn of the Isle of Wight ferries and smell the salt on the breeze.

This is a straightforward spot for campers and vanners who want waterside pitches without the frills—perfect for dog walkers keen on coastal paths, couples after a quiet weekend by the water, or anyone using the site as a springboard for island hopping. The South Coast here is all about the maritime buzz: sailing towns, shingle beaches, and that constant ferry traffic connecting you to Wight's chalk downs and coves. Tents and campervans both welcome, and your four-legged friend can stretch their legs freely across the site.

You've got showers and proper loos onsite, which covers the essentials nicely. The vibe is low-key and unpretentious—don't expect glamping pods or farm shops, just honest pitches with a view. Check the campfire policy when you arrive; it's not a blanket yes or no. This is a place that works because of what's just beyond the gate: water, walks, and that salty, functional charm the Solent does so well.
