Of the 14 campsites within 1.5 miles of the Isle of Wight Scooter Rally, 9 take tents.
Most tents at the rally go up at Sandown Airport, where camping comes with the wristband. The site opened from midday on Thursday in 2026 for early arrivals, with live bands on the Friday and Saturday nights, so do not expect an early night.
If you want a quieter tent pitch, read the group rules first, because several sites here do not take groups of friends. Willow Brook takes families and couples only. Ninham takes no groups or non-family parties and is quiet from 9pm, and its cheap hike-in pitches are for arrivals on foot or by bike, not on a scooter. The Old Barn takes groups only by approval and no stag or hen parties. Southland has only four tent pitches. Lower Hyde and Landguard are bigger holiday parks with pitches from 2pm. Our guide to taking a tent on the ferry helps if you are coming as a foot passenger.
