Of the 12 campsites within 2.6 miles of Tapnell Farm Park, 6 are the budget choices, from about £25 a night or less for two.
The biggest saving at Tapnell is staying on the farm. Glamping guests get free Farm Park entry for the whole stay, and Camp Tapnell container guests pay a one-off entry fee and then go back free. Online day tickets in 2026 were £8 to £20 for an adult and £10 to £25 for a child aged 2 to 16, depending on the date, with under-2s free.
Locals and long-stayers should price the passes. The 2026 Summer Season Pass was £49 each, valid from 21 March to 1 November, and the Winter Pass was £35 for 2 November 2026 to 24 March 2027, under-2s free on both. Picnics are welcome, and parking is free.
Camping off the farm is cheaper still. Camp Wight charges £20 a night for up to two adults and two children, or £15 if you arrive by bike, on foot or by bus. Mill Heights at Calbourne was from £20 a night for the same in 2026, and the seasonal Summer Links bus to Tapnell runs through Calbourne. More ideas in cheap camping.
