About Old Barn Touring Park

This welcoming site takes its name from the renovated Grade II listed barn on site that lends an air of lovely history. Shanklin is only a five minute drive away. This pretty seaside town offers clean, safe and sandy beaches, a picturesque old village and a wide range of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The park provides 54 sheltered pitches in landscaped surroundings with lovely views. Electric pitches are available. Dogs are welcome and there are plenty of footpaths from the park for you to explore. The site can also help with booking a return ferry from the mainland.

The site is open between March and October, with glamping pods are available from April.

A note from the site themselves...

We are very proud winners of the Professor David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award. This is only granted to parks which have demonstrated a sound commitment to the natural world.

It is described as the "Green Olympics" - and goes only to parks which help protect and enhance the natural environment. We are particularly proud that his decision to make this award was based partly on the opinions of our holidaymakers. It was their comments about our park which helped to convince Professor Bellamy that Old Barn Touring was deserving of this conservation honour.

We hope you get to join us soon and see all our amazing efforts for yourself, Emma

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesMar 2024

Nice location, easy access to facilities like shower and WC, clean and refurbished (the ladies at least). Easy to find and park. Just be aware that in order to have electricity you need to have a special cable, we didn't so we hired for £5.

4 night stay in October

FAQ

Check-in is from noon - 7pm and you must vacate your camping/touring pitch by 11am on day of departure. For glamping check in is 2pm - 7pm and check out 10am.

Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch, provided they are kept on a lead whilst onsite. Breeds and crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. There are plenty of footpaths ideal for exercising your pet leading directly from the park.

Sandown Bay is just under three miles away and you'll enjoy miles of stunning coastal views along the coastal path too. Nature lovers can enjoy ambling along the nature trails at Shanklin Chine whilst spotting an abundance of wildlife or why not wander the walled garden and woodlands surrounding Osborne House - formerly the holiday home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert! Other nearby attractions include: *Dinosaur Isle (2.8 miles) - kids can enjoy the interactive robotic dinosaur displays and quizzes on a tour of an impressive collection of fossils found on the island. *Isle of Wight Zoo (3 miles) - animal experiences include feeding lions and tigers and there's a chance to say hello to lemurs, monkeys and more. *Yaverland Beach (3.2 miles) - this long sandy stretch is one of the island's most popular beaches and ideal for watersports including surfing and windsurfing.

Awnings and gazebos and pup tents are welcome but will only be permitted if space allows them to conform to fire regulations.


The Isle of Wight is 23 miles by 13 miles so nowhere is too far away! Varied attractions offer everything from castles to theme parks, and open gardens to sandy beaches!

From your spacious pitch you can take one of many walks into some of the Isle of Wight's most beautiful countryside. Of course, the coastal path is a highlight, but you're also missing out if you don't spend long days at Sandown Bay, Shanklin Chine and Osborne House.

The IOW also runs special events for several months of the year:

  • May: the Isle of Wight Walking Festival
  • June: the Gaffers Festival and the Isle of Wight Pop Festival
  • July: Sandown Regatta and Sandown Carnival
  • August: Shanklin Regatta, Shanklin Carnival and Cowes Week.

The Garlic Festival is just one mile away from the park.
