The Lakes Rookley, this Isle of Wight resort-style park blends countryside calm with a busy-fun feel, thanks to a strong mix of facilities and a setting that’s handy for exploring the whole island. The Lakes Rookley is pet friendly (park rules apply) and suits owners who want repeat breaks with plenty to do on park, including indoor and outdoor pools, family activities and on-site food and drink.

Description

Set inland near Ventnor, The Lakes Rookley feels like a holiday village rather than a simple caravan park. You get the peace of a rural Isle of Wight setting, but with enough on-park facilities that you can keep days easy—swim, eat, relax—without needing to drive out every time.

Because it’s central on the island, it also works well as a base for days out in every direction: south-coast viewpoints, family beaches, and harbour towns for food and sunsets.
