About Willowbrook Camping
A rural campsite ideal for anyone wanting to explore the Isle of Wight. Within ten minutes of a beach and easy reach of attractions, there is something to keep the whole family happy! The 73 spacious pitches are divided by mature beech and hawthorn hedges and accommodate tents, touring caravans and small campervans. There are six non electric pitches for tents only, two of which are for hikers only, and the remaining 67 of are available with 10 amp electric hook ups, some with lovely views of the Shanklin Downs. Please note, a few are on a slight slope. Shanklin town and Sandown Bay are approximately a ten minute drive away. The site encourages you to bring your bike, as Shanklin and beaches are accessible predominantly via a safe bridleway route that runs through the farm (and is sometimes just as quick to cycle as to drive!). Other footpath and bridleway routes run through the farm, so it really is an excellent base for lovers of the outdoors to explore. BBQs are permitted, but only charcoal or gas. Campfires are not permitted. Pets are welcome onsite, so bring the pup! Please note that there is a dog exercise area, and with all the footpaths and bridleways close by, the site asks guests to exercise their dog off the camping areas.
Willowbrook Camping is open from 19/07 to 31/08.
Facilities include free hot showers, a washing up area, and a basic launderette with a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a small play park for children with table tennis and badminton net.
The closest pub is the Merrie Gardens Farm, just a ten minute walk from the site, and there is a Morrisons just a five minute walk away for groceries.

Things to do on site and in the Shanklin area
Whenever you visit the Isle of Wight and whatever your interests are, you certainly won't be short of memory-making things to do. The island is packed with family-friendly attractions, wonderful walks and beaches, food to die for and much, much more.
Perhaps the Needles Landmark Attraction is the most iconic natural landmark and is within a stone's throw of these gleaming pillars of rock at the western end of the Isle. Here, you will find the world-famous chairlift down to Alum Bay with its coloured sands.
Over at Sandown, Sandham Gardens has plenty of fun things to do, including the Skynets (great for kids to work off some excess energy), go-karts and adventure golf.
South of the Isle of Wight is Blackgang Chine, Britain's oldest amusement park, which has been offering a brilliant family day out for more than 100 years and is constantly being updated with new attractions.
Kids of all ages will have a great day at Tapnell Farm Park, with everything from soft play areas for the tinies to an incredible water park for bigger kids and grown-ups with a sense of fun.
If you like a little monkey business, then swing by the Monkey Haven on the outskirts of Newport to meet the owls, monkeys and meerkats.
Guests are also encouraged to take a walk or cycle to Shanklin and explore the town, which takes about 30 minutes or is easily reached by car in ten minutes.
Here, there are beaches, adventure golf and shops to explore.
