Family campsites near the Fishbourne ferry terminal, Isle of Wight

Of the 14 campsites within 3.1 miles of the Fishbourne ferry terminal, 10 are good for families.

With children, the short drive after the crossing is a real bonus. Several family sites are under 10 minutes from the ramp, and under-5s travel free on Wightlink.

The two Woodside lodge parks are the closest family bases, and the beach at Woodside is about five minutes' walk through the grounds. Kite Hill Farm has a play area and a red phone box book library, and Wootton's shops are about 5 minutes' walk away. Children aged 5 to 15 were £6 a night there in 2026.

For a free first afternoon, try Quarr Abbey, just east of the terminal. Entry is free, and children can see the abbey's pigs from a path around their field. The tea shop is open daily from 10am. The steam railway's Wootton station is also close, and the Island Riding Centre near Newport does riding lessons and beach rides, best booked ahead in the holidays. See our camping with kids guide.
