Heathfield Farm Campsite is in a perfect position for visiting the local beaches and places of interest in the west of the island. The site staff were very friendly and extremely helpful and gave us lots of information about the local area. The camp facilities were kept very clean and the whole area was kept very tidy. We had a very nice stay and would return another time.
Family friendly, peaceful site

Location was good - on the quieter side of the Isle of Wight, close to beautiful quiet beaches & a bus service at the end of the road, very handy! We did a lovely walk to the Needles straight from the campsite. The site itself was spacious and we had a good-sized, clearly defined pitch.Toilets & washing-up areas were clean and spacious. The showers were clean but extremely small - too small. It was a real squeeze to fit in and get things out of your bag, get changed etc. Site staff were friendly. There's a little hut with attraction leaflets, bus timetables etc in which was handy. The playing field had goals and a basketball post which my children really enjoyed. The play park in the middle of the field was also great - enough to keep the children entertained whilst being able to see them from the tent. I would recommend it.
Lovely, friendly campsite in a great location

The owners of the site are super helpful and really friendly. Really warm welcome when we arrived. The site is very well kept and really quiet. We would recommend this site to anyone wanting a quiet location. We only have one recommendation and that is for more showers. For the size of the site, it could do with another shower block. Three showers in the men's block is not enough and they are very small. However, this did not spoil our stay at all. A lovely site run by lovely people.
Great site

Much larger pitches than usual and perfect ground for tent pegs. Really friendly staff and incredibly well-maintained facilities. Feels very quiet and countryside-ish and yet, you're less than 10 minutes walk from shops, cafes etc.

We just loved this campsite - friendly staff, beautiful setting close to all the attractions/beaches we had planned to visit. No fuss, everything was just so easy here. We had a lovely stay and will be back again in the future, that's for certain. Thank you Heathfield Farm.
Superb stay

Could not rate this site any higher, owners/wardens were very pleasant and will help with anything needed. Easily sorted me a later check-out. Will definitely be booking again!
Wonderful time was had by all

We all had a super time at Heathfield - it is conveniently located for the Yarmouth ferry - although we came into East Cowes via the Red Funnel line (highly recommended too). The plan was to soak up some sun, do some walking with the dog and get in some paddle boarding (first time). We came during a heatwave, so plenty of sun. Our dog, although he is small loves to walk and there are plenty of English Heritage properties to visit that welcome dogs, plus the camp's own dog walking meadow was great facility to use first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Both Colwell Bay and Freshwater Bay are great for water activities, we tried out paddle boarding in Colwell Bay - you can walk there from the campsite (with your board on you back) - beach is a bit stony so bring some flipflops. The town of freshwater (short walk from the campsite) has both a Co-op and a Sainsbury's and a range of coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and take-aways to satisfy any palate. Everyone is so friendly not just on the campsite but all the locals they really make you feel welcome. All-in-all, an excellent experience and we and our dog, Barney, will definitely be coming back to Heathfield and the Isle of Wight real soon.
Great quiet break

Stayed at the site for 4 days. Annie and Brian warmly welcomed me and showed me to my pitch. Brian supplied me with a piece of wood for my motorbike stand. Facilities were good and clean. There will always be a wait for the showers at peak times, no big deal. The pitches were well looked after. There is a Co-op locally, along with a couple of takeaway places all within a 25 min walk, round trip. The local boy racers on their motorbikes and cars make a bit of noise in the evenings but it's no fault of the campsite. Colwell bay is walking distance away with great food and drink. If you are staying there with a motorbike, the roads are fantastic to ride, in particular from Chale to Shanklin or Ryde. Would go back but the ferry prices are a little expensive for a 45 min crossing.
Look forward to returning hopefully next year

Absolutely loved our stay! Very friendly staff and campsite had a little park area in the centre, which was fantastic for our kids. Kept them entertained whilst we got all the boring stuff sorted.

We had a great stay here. We were cycling around the island and it offered a perfect base. Very quiet, which suited us most of the time. Had a very nice welcome and good site owners.

Lovely campsite. A bit disappointing that making a real fire is not allowed (we love the fire). Great playing field. Nice hosts. Would love to see some eco friendly ideas in the future.
Excellent

Fantastic site, clean and tidy. Karen and Gary were excellent, welcoming, friendly and very helpful. My only critique is that on our last night it got very busy and the toilets and showers were very very busy on our last morning, some more facilities would be good but the cleanliness was exceptional.
Really good site (if you don’t mind a few things)

Excellent location - Freshwater is the main place to shop for supplies in the west of the island - you are on the edge of town though so going in on foot is quite a trek. I didn't mind that! Friendly hosts, very well-kept grounds, good facilities. There were some drawbacks though. The site is very family-orientated. Over a busy busy bank holiday, there was just one other tent/ van in my field that didn't have kids. This could be a plus of course, if you've got them too! Incidentally there is a small enclosure for backpacking tents near the buildings - people just doing one night - the IOW Coastal Path runs nearby. The showers were closed at night and opened up again around 7 - 7.30am, so you had to get your opening times memorised. Another drawback was that there was no reliable internet. Might not be a problem if you want a break from it, but I was travelling solo and could have done with it. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay and would still recommend this site. I used the local buses a lot. They stop close to the site as well as down by the shops and they were surprisingly easy to use. They took me to a lot of nice places, all over the west side of the island. I would also recommend finding the Red Lion pub and Golden Hill fort. Hidden gems, they're not far from the site as the crow flies but v tucked away!
