Retro Staycations Reviews

Super peaceful campsite

Sarah was really friendly and welcoming; it's a lovely smaller campsite in a quiet area. Good level pitches and clean communal washrooms. We cycled from East Cowes which isn't very far, but Ryde is very close.

3 night camping stay

Good location to this area of the island. Always love a site where you can choose to pitch. The 24 hour shop is fav as we got a pint of milk each morning and didn't need to worry about keeping it cold. Toilet block good. It wasn't too busy when we went and lots of VW campers had their own, but I imagine it could get busy if there's lots of campers, as there's only 1 shower in ladies and a few cubicles. What was there and when we went, we had no issues at all.

Lovely camp, lovely people

Owner was very welcoming, site was clean and near lots of great places. Definitely recommend.

A very handy and friendly site

Simple and uncomplicated. Had a camping pitch, easy to find, easy access and very helpful and friendly site staff/hosts. Its nice and quiet but only just outside Ryde which has plenty for shopping and eating. Would certainly use again.

Great find, close to home

Found this campsite on a local website, just by chance. So pleased that we did. Very smooth booking process and great contact from the host Sarah, both before and whilst on site. Very flexible with arrival time. Easy to find from their directions and friendly greeting on arrival. Spacious field with a slight slope. Lots of space between pitches (with electric hook-up, pitch no.5). Great views on all sides, one side with views of the glorious airstream caravans and over the back were fields. Good facilities and the best shower we've had on a site! Although there is only one, so if it's busy then may need to stagger use. And the washing up facility only has cold water available. Sarah very kindly showed us inside a couple of the airstream caravans, they are beautiful, unusual and surprisingly spacious complete with showers or even a bath! A very quiet site, with friendly host, spacious pitches and a farm shop at the end of the lane for fresh bacon, sausages and eggs. What more could we ask for? We'll definitely be back.

Happy campers

Had a great stay at RetroStaycations in our tent. Showers and toilets were great and farm shop available.

Peaceful, friendly, good views, great value

We arrived on spec and were delighted there was space - a flat field, a very friendly greeting, good facilities (6 toilets, 2 showers, very clean), dog friendly, lots of space and good views. Great value. We originally planned to stay one night but liked it so much we stayed for four.
