Owning a static caravan on the Isle of Wight: a guide

There are 83 holiday homes for sale at 8 parks on the Isle of Wight on My Holiday Caravan. Most are priced between £21,995 and £64,995, and the lowest start from £12,995. Prices depend on age, size and specification, and on the park and pitch.

7 of the 8 parks with holiday homes for sale on the Isle of Wight list a 12-month season. Most others open from around March to October or November. A 12-month park is still a holiday park, so the caravan cannot be your main home.

7 of the 8 parks with holiday homes for sale on the Isle of Wight say they accept dogs. Rules on how many, which breeds and where dogs can go vary, so check with the park.

July and August are the busiest months, with the school holidays and the warmest weather. May, June and September usually have long days and fewer visitors. Most parks are open from spring to autumn, and the year chart on this page shows how many are open each month.

Usually around an hour and a half to two hours to the ferry ports, plus a crossing of between around 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the route.

East Wight has the resorts and many of the parks, West Wight is quieter with the Needles, the south coast is sheltered, and the north is close to the Cowes and Southampton ferries.

Some parks run letting schemes, some allow private letting with conditions, and some do not allow letting. It depends on the park, so check the park rules and pitch licence before you buy.

Site fees vary between parks with location, facilities, season length and pitch. Each park can give you a written breakdown of its current fees and what they include.
