About The Ark Park
The Ark Park sits in quiet countryside near Northwood, making it a peaceful retreat whether you're pitching a tent or booking one of the luxury glamping options. Dogs are very much part of the welcome here, and with Cowes' beaches just a short drive away, there's plenty of scope for seaside walks and exploring the island's northern coast. Facilities cover the basics—showers, toilets, drinking water—and the site stays open year-round, so it suits both summer breaks and off-season escapes.
The rural setting delivers genuine peace and quiet, though don't expect WiFi; you're here to switch off. It's straightforward, dog-friendly camping done well, with a touch of luxury if you fancy glamping instead.

What visitors say
Had a lovely mini break here as family of 4. Very relaxing in big field in countryside, but only 20 mins drive from Southampton-Cowes ferry. The pig ark slept 2 adults and 2 kids fine, and Carol was a friendly and attentive host. Kids loved seeing the piglets, pigs, horses and chickens on other side of field. Gas BBQ was fine for basic cooking, and we ate out most evenings. Highly recommend, great for a complete unwind

My girlfriend booked 2 night's here for my 26th Birthday surprise. 🎈 I loved it!! ☺️ The place was beautiful, very clean & tidy and well presented. Our lovely host Carol made us feel so welcome and she provided a lovely spread of local food from her farm and neighbouring farms. I definitely would recommend a booking here, it's so worth it. You will not be disappointed!! 😁🏕️

Fantastic!! We had a great 2 night stay at The Ark Park. A true “glamping” experience. We couldn’t have asked for more and Carol is an excellent host - thank you! The accommodation is clean, comfortable and well equipped and the location is quiet yet convenient. The real bonus is the log burning hot tub! Perfect for a relaxing evening after a busy day. Thoroughly recommend.
