As a complete phobic (!) although I absolutely love caravanning, I find I worry ceaselessly about journeys to/from sites and our forthcoming trip to the Isle of Wight is no exception.  My husband (who does all the driving anyway) is fine about it and says
not to worry, but how easy is it to find the right ferry port in Southampton for IoW?   We will be travelling down from Yorkshire so, if we get there early, is there anywhere suitably to "park up" until ferry is due?  Help!
