Glamping site near Newchurch on the Isle of Wight with three safari tents on a working farm, close to Sandown and Shanklin beaches, with shower facilities and play area.

## About Southland Experience Freedom Glamping

Tucked near Newchurch in the southeast corner of the Isle of Wight, this intimate glamping site offers just three safari tents on a peaceful working farm. It's an ideal springboard for the island's beaches—Sandown and Shanklin are both close by—while walkers can strike out onto nearby footpaths or catch public transport from the village into the surrounding countryside.

On site, facilities are thoughtfully arranged: expect clean shower blocks, a dedicated parent-and-baby washroom, and recycling bins, plus a play area to keep younger guests occupied. Cars park right by your pitch, and barbecues are welcome for those warm evenings. Note that pets aren't permitted, so it's one to leave the dog at home. With free WiFi and a shop within easy reach, it's a well-placed, low-key base that hits the essentials without unnecessary fuss.

## What visitors say

Amy Henriques ★★★★★

We had originally booked somewhere else on the island to stay 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 safari 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. Thanks for making our first family holiday to the IoW a wonderful experience.
