    Isle of Wight

    Hi John Both parks are nice, The Orchards is a larger commercial site, has a swimming pool, not far from the Yarmouth ferry, local pub. Whitefield's is a quieter site, closer Ryde, to beaches, the downs and Tesco. It just depends what your after. Both have nice walks. Tigger

    Starting the "Caravanning is Awful"movement.

    lighten up Jimbob! It's just a bit off fun. I don't think there's not one of us that one or another of these comments we are not guilty of. it's what makes caravanning fun!

    caravam club 'dogs' survey

    we stayed at the chapel lane caravan site once and it was Crufts week, there were loads of dogs on site but none of them were any bother.

    Hi We usually take our Golden away with us. She had her first caravan holiday when she was about 3/4months. What we did for the first couple of trips was just go somewhere local, for a weekend, to see how she would like it. That way if it was disaster we didn't have far to go home! Anyway...
