Retro Staycations

About

Retro Staycations offers a unique glamping retreat in a fleet of sleek, authentic American Airstreams.

The spacious site is situated in a pretty meadow in the countryside on a working farm providing a peaceful and hidden spot on the Isle of Wight. It’s the ideal spot to relax and unwind.

Despite its rural location, the site is only a 6-minute drive to the town of Ryde where there are plenty of thriving independent shops and restaurants to discover as well as miles of beautiful sandy beaches.

There are six gleaming silver vintage Airstream caravans. Two berth, three berth and four berth vans are available along with one six berth Airstream.

Whilst retaining many of their original 1940s-1970s features, the vans provide a vibrant retro style that’s subtly equipped for the 21st century camper. 

Each classic caravan offers comfy beds, hot showers and those all-important glamping accessories. Reflecting the scenic views of nearby Brading Downs in their polished exteriors, the Airstreams are a genuine sight to behold. Imported directly from the USA, their curvy retro shape and shimmering exteriors are unlike anything else you’ll see on the Island.

Onboard facilities include fully-equipped micro-kitchens containing fridges, cookers, heaters and toasters. Freshly laundered white bed linen and towels are supplied, and each caravan has its own outdoor picnic bench with parasol, classic deck chairs as well as a BBQ and log burner.

The vans have onboard showers and there is a heated toilet facility on site not far from your accommodation.

The family-run farm has a shop containing local produce including eggs, milk, beef, pork and a wide variety of freshly picked vegetables. You can pre-order breakfast baskets with locally sourced ingredients grown and reared directly on the farm. 

Around the farm, you’ll see ducks, sheep, lambs, pigs, cows and chickens, plus an abundance of wildlife, from Isle of Wight red squirrels, rabbits, woodpeckers and more.  

The site offers an additional 7 pitches for touring vehicles with electric and water hook-ups as well as a number of non-electric grass pitches. Please see website for details.

It is possible to hire the whole site for your special event or celebration.
