The Old Barn (formerly Old Barn Touring Park) is a small, family-run park on Cheverton Farm at Apse Heath, roughly two miles inland from both Sandown and Shanklin. Around 60 level pitches sit in hedged bays over six acres, each reached by a hard road, with optional 16-amp hook-up and some water and drainage points.

It is one of the cheaper sites on the Island outside the summer holidays. Facilities are simple but well kept: a tiled toilet and shower block, a launderette, free park-wide Wi-Fi, a play area for under-10s and a games room in a 17th-century thatched barn. There are also insulated camping pods and two models of static caravan for hire, and the owners can bundle discounted ferry crossings.

  • Pitches from £13 a night in low season
  • Games room in a 17th-century thatched barn
  • Hedged, sheltered pitches with hard-road access
  • Fields behind the site for off-lead dog walking
