Vintage Vacations
Glamping in Near Ryde
Vintage Vacations offers a distinctive glamping experience in restored American Airstream trailers set in a meadow near Ryde. Each Airstream has been individually renovated with period-appropriate interiors, combining 1950s and 1960s Americana with modern comforts including proper beds, kitchenettes, heating and hot water. The site has a small number of units, keeping the atmosphere quiet and exclusive.
The meadow setting provides a rural feel despite being only a short drive from Ryde and its ferry terminal. Each Airstream has its own outdoor space with seating and a firepit, and the surrounding countryside offers walks through fields and woodland. The site has been featured extensively in travel press and design magazines, and it appeals to couples and small groups looking for something more characterful than a standard holiday park.
Ryde is the nearest town, with a good selection of shops, restaurants and cafes along its long Victorian esplanade and pier. The hovercraft service to Southsea operates from Ryde, and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway terminus is nearby at Smallbrook Junction. The site is well placed for exploring the north-east of the island, including Seaview, Bembridge and the Brading Marshes.
