Beaper Farm Holiday Park

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial holiday park on the Isle of Wight’s sought-after east coast. Beaper Farm comprises 350 licensed pitches, (40 are electric hook ups), planning permission for 16 static homes (9 currently in situ), all set within 25.46 acres including pastureland and woodland, all with enormous potential to reinstate a thriving leisure business or create a landmark tourism destination.

History - Set within land that once formed part of the historic Hill Manor estate an early medieval holding near Brading - Beaper Farm has long been connected to the island’s rural legacy. Over the centuries, the area has evolved from agricultural roots into a much-loved holiday destination, offering generations of visitors the freedom and charm of open countryside living. By the mid-20th century, the farm had been sensitively adapted into a successful holiday park, known for its expansive touring pitches, woodland-set static homes and relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Though the campsite has not traded in recent years, the park retains much of its infrastructure, offering a rare chance to revive, reimagine and build upon a leisure asset with both history and scale.

Situation - Beaper Farm Holiday Park is situated in a peaceful rural setting on the northeastern part of the Isle of Wight, just outside the town of Ryde. The park enjoys a countryside backdrop of farmland and ancient woodland, offering
a tranquil escape from busy everyday life. It is conveniently positioned on Beaper Shute (A3055), making it easily accessible by car or bike and only about 3.5 miles from Ryde’s town centre, where visitors can find shops, restaurants, and ferry links to the mainland.

The location provides excellent opportunities for outdoor activities, with nearby footpaths and cycle routes weaving through scenic landscapes. Beach
lovers can explore nearby sandy shores such as Appley Beach, while those interested in local history and culture can visit the historic village of Brading or explore Bembridge Harbour a short drive away.

Camping And Caravanning Site - The principal element of Beaper Farm Holiday Park comprises an extensive camping and caravanning site, with full planning permission or licensing for 350 pitches, of which 40 benefit from electrical hook ups. Arranged
across level pastureland, the site incorporates a range of ancillary facilities including an ablution block with toilets. While trading ceased approximately eight years ago, some of the infrastructure remains in situ, presenting an
exceptional opportunity to reinstate the operation and capitalise on the island’s established visitor market. The scale of the site offers significant flexibility for a new owner to tailor the layout and facilities to suit a variety
of leisure uses, from traditional touring provision to more contemporary glamping or lodge-based accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Beaper Copse - Static Homes - Positioned within a private woodland setting to the north of Beaper Farm, the static homes area has full planning permission (approved) for 16 units, 9 of which are currently occupied 1st March through to 31st October generating a gross annual income of £26,955 p.a., providing an immediate income stream with a further 7 ready for development. The area benefits from its own planning permission and the current layout offers a tranquil, low-density arrangement that blends thoughtfully with the surrounding landscape.

Land - The property extends to approximately 25.46 acres, comprising a mix of permanent pasture and mature woodland arranged across three principal parcels. The land provides not only a natural buffer and amenity to the main park areas, but also a striking setting in its own right. Much of the site benefits from far-reaching views towards Culver Down, offering a rare sense of scale and openness that enhances the property’s recreational and aesthetic appeal. The topography is largely level with a gentle undulation in places, and the boundaries are well enclosed by established hedgerows and fencing. Classified as Grade 3 agricultural land with clay-based soils, the holding offers potential for equestrian, environmental or further leisure uses, subject to the necessary consents.
