Thank you for a lovely lovely place to stay during our time on the beautiful Isle of Wight. I loved it. However, the rest of my family got eaten alive by mosquitoes and would not want to stay here again. I would come and stay again, but they wouldn't. Also, the family in the next-door container also got eaten alive by mosquitoes and had to cut their holiday short by 2 nights due to the ridiculous number of mosquito bites. It seems that the water park is a massive breeding ground for mosquitoes. I have never heard of anyone complaining about mosquitoes before on the Isle of Wight, but then I've never known anyone trying to sleep next to a massive lake where mosquitoes are breeding.
As for whether I would recommend the property to others, I would, yes, but I would also have to tell them about the mosquito problem.
Personally, I think the Camp Tapnell is excellent.

Couldn’t fault the facilities which included power and water next to container, kettle, microwave and even 2 air fryers in the kitchen area, great shower block too.
Container had 8 beds (double + 3 x bunks) plenty of storage, and place for dog too. Only downside was the mattresses were plastic-coated and were so noisy it was like sleeping on a crisp packet.
