The Isle of Wight is one of England’s best-loved destinations for a classic caravan holiday — with golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and a laid-back island atmosphere that feels a world away from the mainland. Just a short ferry ride from the south coast, this compact county offers everything from charming seaside resorts and fossil-filled coastlines to peaceful countryside and family-friendly fun.
Caravan parks on the island range from clifftop retreats with ocean views to tucked-away spots near woodland, downs, and coastal trails. Whether you're enjoying bucket-and-spade days in Shanklin or Sandown, exploring the island’s Victorian history in Ryde or Ventnor, or walking the Tennyson Trail through rolling hills, the Isle of Wight has something to offer every kind of traveller. It's also famously sunny — making it one of the UK’s best bets for a bright and breezy coastal break.
