South Thorness Farm CL

Adults-only five-van CL on a working farm a short stroll from the sheltered Solent beach at Thorness Bay.

  • Dogs welcome
  • Adults only
  • Near beach

A small Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location on a farm the same family has worked for generations, set back from Thorness Bay on the north-west coast. Five pitches share three-quarters of an acre of lawn with a mix of grass and hardstanding, and every pitch has its own hook-up.

The beach is a few hundred metres away and the Newtown to Cowes stretch of the coast path runs alongside, so it suits walkers, beach anglers and anyone who wants peace rather than entertainment. A traditional pub, a shop and a play area are all within about a mile. It is for adult Club members only; dogs are welcome.

  • Sand beach about 0.2 miles away at Thorness Bay
  • Every pitch has electric, four have their own water
  • Owners can help arrange discounted ferry tickets
