  • Well-maintained and gated park in a peaceful rural village
  • A 10-minute drive to Ely, 35 to Newmarket and 40 to Cambridge
  • Pub and weekend food van; dog-walking track right across the road
Ease yourself into East Anglia by booking a pitch at Slade Paddock, a well-located and secure gated site in Witcham that is also part of a working farm. Splendid for ramblers and cyclists alike, there is a pub on site called The Humble Pig which has a lovely terrace to sit on and treat yourself to a drink. During high season, live music is held in the marquee on Saturday evenings, and on Friday and Saturday evenings, The Jolly Trotter food van provides delicious homemade food on site. This park is a prime spot for pet owners too, with a dog-walking track right across the road for guests bringing their four-legged pals along. History buffs are sorted here too thanks to a bus service that stops just off the local green and whisks you to the stately sights of Cambridge within an hour. Barbecues are allowed on the spacious open grounds too if you’re keen to rustle up alfresco food. Rather order local grub at a restaurant when evening rolls around? If you fancy dining out, eateries are a 15-minute drive away in Ely, which is also home to top local attractions like Oliver Cromwell’s House. Modern facilities at this Cambridgeshire park include four wetrooms with showers, two washing-up areas, and a toilet that's accessible for people with disabilities. Entertainment is scheduled throughout June, July and August.

Powered grass tent site

Liked: The fact it's got food on site and a lovely bar.Very clean toilets, wet rooms and fridge.

Disliked: Entertainment was good but attracted outside people smocking round the toilets hanging round our tents, toilets was disgusting in the morning.The lovely ladies who does a good job for yous dog kept us and our over friends awake both nights Friday till 10.45 and Saturday last time we heard it was 12.35 not good continuous barking for these reason we won't be coming back.You have signs up everywhere saying you won't tolerate barking dogs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The fact that you can not spell so what chance have you of telling the time!! Correct we do not tolerate barking dogs or unsupervised children of which your children forced other campers to leave a day early for kicking a ball around the site! We bent over backwards to accommodate your group booking the fact that the normal tent site was wet is unfortunate that you was put there, as always you can not please everyone! Enough said on this matter i think !!!! Regards T

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Lovely site. Excellent facilities. Very friendly site manager.

Disliked: Not really the site if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Very popular for families and live music.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for review and appreciation of our site facilities and staff. We are normally a very quiet site and do limit number of children we have on-site at a time. Our live bands are very much a favourite for most campers and we make sure that the music stops before 11pm which we think is a reasonable time and doesn't effect most people if they not attending our event.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Jane was very welcoming and friendly. The place was very quiet, we were on a grass pitch, which was kept very tidy. Showers and toilets were clean, a fridge/freezer was there for people who required it. Saw lots of different aircraft from the local bases. There is a bus to Ely, best times to catch are AM rather than PM, the bus stop is not far from the site. The local pub opens from Wednesday, there is a bar on site, unfortunately we didn't go so can't comment on what it is like.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Ely (15 minutes’ drive) has endless activities to keep you entertained: head to this town to roam around the cracking cathedral and stained-glass museum before leaping onto a Liberty Belle Cruises boat at Ship Lane to bob along the Great Ouse river. Fancy a flutter? Newmarket (35 minutes) is known for being the birthplace of horse racing, so it’s a must-visit spot for equestrian types. Peer at the high-tech displays in Palace House’s National Horseracing Museum, timing your visit to the town just right to catch a fixture at the renowned racecourse afterwards. If you’re hot on history, you’ll want to amble around Anglesey Abbey (35 minutes) and admire the artworks before covering some of the 98 acres of grounds during a stroll. Wander to Wimpole Hall (40 minutes) later on, stopping to fawn over the farm animals that live here, then eye up the aviation displays – an old Concorde plane included – at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (40 minutes). Many of East Anglia’s other absorbing attractions are in Cambridge (40 minutes): think a series of stunning colleges, fab art galleries like the Fitzwilliam Museum and pleasant punting on the River Cam.
