Rusty Meadow is a summer pop-up site on three acres of farmland off Sheepwash Lane, south of Godshill. Pitches are big and unmarked in a hay meadow, with composting toilets, drinking water and a solar-powered charging hut for phones; there are no showers, so it suits campers happy with simple facilities.

As well as bring-your-own pitches there are ready-pitched tents, an unfurnished bell tent, an adults-only furnished bell tent with a fire pit, and a tiny wooden micro cabin for two that suits cyclists and walkers. Godshill's pubs, tearooms and play park are about 15 minutes' walk away, footpaths lead up to the Worsley Obelisk viewpoint, and the site is aimed at families and quiet campers rather than parties.
