Cheverton Copse Holiday Park scores very well with customers - but what did we think?

We've been wanting to visit Cheverton Copse Holiday Park for quite some time. It gets outstanding reviews and stands out on value amongst the Isle of Wight's best holiday parks but we wanted to see what all the fuss was about for ourselves.

First impressions and location of Cheverton Copse Holiday Park 

You'll find Cheverton Copse Holiday Park on the outskirts of Sandown, near to the local airport. This may sound like a noisy location, but the airport only deals with light aircraft.

It's not right by the sea, but it isn't a long drive to Sandown and Shanklin or to the East Wight villages of Bembridge and St Helens. The nearest beach is about six minutes in the car.

One of the first things that we noticed about Cheverton Copse Holiday Park is that it isn't a vast holiday park. There are some caravan parks in the local area that I would describe as sprawling (e.g. Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, Lower Hyde Holiday Park) but I found it quite easy to get my bearings at Cheverton Copse Holiday Park.

Accommodation at Cheverton Copse Holiday Park

The majority of the accommodation at Cheverton Copse Holiday Park is caravans. I would say that most of them are standard 12 ft wide caravans, although we did see some larger options as well. 

The caravans are arranged neatly on a very well-kept grassy site that has some nice trees to add a bit of greenery. Within the caravans are two playgrounds that act as nice focal points and encourage a few holiday friendships. 

The view you will get from Cheverton Copse Holiday Park is of green fields rather than of the sea but it is still very pleasant.

Facilities at Cheverton Copse Holiday Park

As well as the two playgrounds, Cheverton Copse Holiday Park also has a small clubhouse. I thought this was a nice addition and it wasn't something that I would expect to get from a holiday park of this size.

Its location is also convenient for self-catering as there are a couple of supermarkets within a short drive. 

There isn't a swimming pool at Cheverton Copse Holiday Park and you won't find the big range of facilities and activities that you get at some Isle of Wight holiday parks (e.g. Nodes Point Holiday Park, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park). 

However, this isn't a big problem. This part of the Isle of Wight is very well equipped with things to do, including entertainment at the seaside playgrounds and a local swimming pool called The Heights within a few minutes. 

There are also a couple of nice playgrounds nestled between the caravans.

The other thing that I very much liked about Cheverton Copse Holiday Park was the very large playing field that sits alongside the accommodation. I think some holiday parks would have attempted to expand onto this with more caravans. However, this has been left as a large green space for kicking a ball around or playing with a basketball. When I visited holiday parks as a child all I wanted to do was to play football! 

The vibe then of Cheverton Copse Holiday Park is old fashioned family fun and making friends on holiday. Entertainment will not be laid on for you endlessly but that isn't always what is needed on holiday.

Final thoughts on Cheverton Copse Holiday Park 

If you're looking for a traditionally run and family-owned caravan park, then Cheverton Copse is a great choice. It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that you get at big chain holiday parks such as indoor swimming pools or a high ropes course. 

However, it does offer a very neatly and well maintained site and plenty of space for getting to know other families. And whilst it isn't right by a beach, I would say that the location is a good one for easy days out.
