Last Minute Deals And Discounts At Isle of Wight Caravan Holiday Parks 2024
Caravan holiday parks are one of the cheapest options for an Isle of Wight holiday, particularly if you can tolerate squeezing eight people into an eight berth caravan (often with just one small bathroom…).
However, there are two schools of thought when it comes to getting the best price.
On the one hand, if you book long in advance, you’ll get the pick of the best parks and the most popular accommodation. On the other hand, if you wait until a few days or weeks before your holiday then you can save some money on last minute deals as holiday parks attempt to fill up every caravan.
Here’s our pick of the best last-minute deals, discount codes and money saving offers for Isle of Wight caravan holiday parks and lodges:

Are last minute deals any good?
My experience is that the bargain last minute breaks are usually available for off peak holidays. During the August holidays, Easter or half term breaks you’ll find that the best accommodation gets booked up.
Also worth noting is that on a large holiday park, they’ll offer something like ‘bronze’, ‘silver’ and ‘gold’ properties and there can be a considerable difference in price. So, you might be better booking a bronze property early rather than waiting and hoping that a gold property is reduced at a later date. Just to complicate things further, you’ll sometimes find that the ‘bronze’ properties get better reviews than ‘gold’ caravans, because they’ve recently been replaced or refurbished whereas the gold caravans are getting a bit old and are in need of an upgrade.
