Of the 11 campsites within 3.4 miles of the East Cowes ferry terminal, 4 take motorhomes or campervans.
Off the ramp, Waverley Park is the only site you reach without crossing the Medina or driving through Newport, about 800m up Castle Street and Old Road. Its serviced pitches have water and grey-water drainage, and campervans that do not need power can use the open field.
For Comforts Farm or The Hydeaway on the Cowes side, the Floating Bridge is out for motorhomes, so drive round through Newport. The Medina Way bridge works there, from 28 September 2026 for about six months, close one lane on each carriageway for about five weeks at a time, with some overnight closures. Last Post CS on Fairlee Road is east of the river, about 6km by road.
If you just want to park, the council lists Maresfield Road car park in East Cowes, about 400m from the terminal, for motorhomes, with perimeter bays, no height barrier and no toilets nearby. Sleeping and cooking in the van are not allowed in council car parks. See the motorhome and campervan guide.
