Best Newcomer CL Award - 2018
Rodgebrook Farm sits in the ancient landscape that surrounds Parkhurst Forest near to the county town of Newport, Isle of Wight. The original deeds to our farm date to the 15th century and are in the British Museum. The farmhouse itself dates from the 18th century. Our CL is on land given to freeholders in the early 19th century in exchange for common rights they held in the forest.
We cater for adults and dogs on leads. We regret we are not set up for children.
The site is a haven for people, horses and wildlife to enjoy the natural environment. The pitches are terraced and set to lawn. Facilities include electrical hook-ups, water, WiFi and waste disposal. We have milk deliveries (still in glass bottles) 3 times a week with orders also taken fro a wide range of provisions.
For those who enjoy painting there is a stream that runs through the property that can make a good subject. For cricket enthusiasts, the Porchfield Cricket Club is on adjacent land where games are played throughout the summer. Parkhurst Forest can be accessed by public footpath: a great place to walk your dog and possibly see red squirrels. In addition to the 33 different species of birds we have counted at our own feeding station there is an excellent bird hide at Newtown with observations of resident and visiting birds across the marshes of the Newtown Bird Sanctuary. Swimming is best on the South side of the Island and sea fishing can be enjoyed out of Yarmouth Harbour. To the North is the famous yachting centre of Cowes. English Heritage sites include Carisbrooke Castle, Yarmouth Castle, Appuldurcombe (home of The Scandalous Lady W) and of course Queen Victoria's Island home at Osborne. All of these are a 10 - 20 minute drive away.
The Blacksmiths (1.8 miles), is an outstanding pub/restaurant with spectacular views over the northern park of the Island and Solent especially at sunset. The local village pub is the Sportsmen's Rest (1.5 miles across public footpath).
As a family we have lived and enjoyed Rodgebrook Farm for over 30 years. During that time we have hosted many gatherings for friends and family, some of them spectacularly large. Some of the home activities include BBQs, pancake breakfast, apple harvest and juice production and bonfires. We also do a modest run of sweetcorn and other organic vegetables. Visitors are welcome to join in.
We can provide discounted ferry tickets.

Stayed one night but wish I stayed more
Rodgebrook Farm
A very quiet and peaceful site. I only stayed 1 night so didn't have much time to see the area apart from a nature reserve about a 20 minute cycle away. The surrounding area is fairly flat which would also improve cycling. Carisbrooke castle is nearby and is a must see when staying on the Isle of Wight. There is a information hut with lots of things to see and do in the area as well. I rate this 4 stars as the site didn't have a toilet and shower so is more suited to caravans and motor homes than camper vans.

Pleasant site
Rodgebrook FarmJust back from a weeks stay at Rodgebrook Farm CL. Very friendly greeting from Ed who gave us a small atlas of the island and told us about places of interest. Good fairly level grass pitches with own water supply. Grey waste in the hedge and adequate chemical disposal point. Good recycling facilities and a very handy information shed. Excellent dog walking field which is enclosed so they can be let off the lead to run around. The only downside is that Whitehouse Road is a very busy road so the site isn’t really peaceful which is a shame as this is no fault of the owners.
Best place we have stayed
Rodgebrook Farm
A warm welcome, easy to find, useful booklet and maps provided, useful shed with books and leaflets in, good level pitches each with water and electric. Lovely dog walking field. Ideal base for exploring the island. If you want peace quiet and countryside this is the site for you.
Wow, one of the best CL’s ever
Rodgebrook Farm
What a wonderful place, run by wonder people…. Not sure what the other reviewer was moaning about, it a CL in the country, the site is slopped but set out in terraced which are nice and flat and plenty big enough. We have a 8ft wide twin axle buccaneer with awning and a VW Toureg all fitting on the pitch nicely.
Ed and Carole were very welcoming, so nice, friendly and helpful. This certainly is one of the best CL’s we’ve stayed on ever….
Thank you so much
From Lou, Veronica, Bandit & Lucca
