Of the 12 campsites within 2.2 miles of the Island Steam Fair, 5 have glamping.
The fair has no camping or glamping of its own, so glampers stay nearby. Because the fair falls on the August bank holiday, expect peak prices and minimum stays.
Retro Staycations on Ashey Road has restored American Airstreams. In 2026 they were from £98 a night in mid season and £128 in high season, and bank holiday weekends count as high season. Its two camping pods are let empty, like a tent with walls, at £50 a night in high season. Into the Woods, between Whippingham and Wootton, lists 2-night weekends in its treehouses and shepherd's huts at £350 to £450. The Garlic Farm yurts quote £180 a night at peak.
Retro Staycations also runs its own Wight Buggin' VW festival in September, so check its calendar if you want a quiet weekend. Our glamping guide has more.
