Safari tent

Situated in the beautiful Arreton Valley, Southland Experience Freedom Glamping is a great base for a family holiday to the Isle of Wight. Shanklin and its sandy beach are a ten minute drive from the site and there are plenty of cycle routes nearby, a great way to see the island! There are four safari tents, each sleeping up to five with an equipped kitchen and a veranda outside with comfy seating and a BBQ, perfect for nights in the open!

Lovely site, great location. Totally respect quite time after 10, but to be complained about for shutting car doors and talking in tents having come back from festival put us on edge for the remainder of the stay. We were two mums with our two daughters, non of which drink anything other than a cup of tea! Most definitely not suitable for young adults. Okay if you're in your own caravan but not their safari tents, they are not sound proofed so you will be told to be quiet if you talk after 10pm.

Great little find

Safari Tent - Safari TentsJul 2025

We had originally booked somewhere else on the island to stay at a friend's recommendation but I'd had doubts ever since booking so I had continued to browse accommodation I felt suited us better. We are a family of 4 with 2 girls aged 9 and 3. We were searching for somewhere that would give us space of our own, some cooking facilities but that was back to nature. We haven't camped with our youngest yet and didn't fancy the gamble so glamping was ideal. I stumbled across Southland glamping tents and was immediately interested. I checked the reviews online and instantly felt that it was what I had been looking for. All the fun of camping but with a few more home comforts to ease our youngest into it. Upon arrival we were cheerfully greeted by name, talked through everything, given a nature quiz for our kids to do and handed the key to the site. The accommodation was perfect. Enough outdoor space for the kids to play near us, a BBQ but also indoor cooking facilities meaning we could have lazy breakfasts together and outdoor dinners. The safari tent was spotless and I honestly think it's the best sleep I've had in months, even when we had a thunderstorm! I liked that the bunk beds included a second lower bunk too so that we could have both kids lower level if we wanted, and they liked that they were partitioned off from us (if wanted) so they could have privacy and sneaky late night movies together. The toilet and shower block was spotless and hot showers available every time we went. They were close enough to our tent for our oldest to have some independence and go alone and we felt incredibly safe throughout the site. The addition of the little playground was lovely and a nice way for the kids to meet others and burn some energy. We saw staff around the site often and they were always friendly, asking how our day had been and giving recommendations of places to visit. The site is really well located (excellent location to Amazon World), less than 15mins to Sandown beach and less than 10min to Godshil and the Donkey Sanctuary. We had an absolutely fabulous stay and my oldest is already asking if we can go back next year.
