What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with excellent communication from owners. It offers large, level pitches and a natural feel, with many guests praising its beautiful location close to river walks and local pubs. Facilities are generally considered clean and well-maintained, though some reviewers note they are basic or could benefit from updates. Security is a plus, with gated access. Some minor issues with cleanliness and facility availability were reported but manager replies indicate these have been addressed.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your recent stay. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful views, peace and quiet, and spacious feel of our site.
We would like to clarify a few points for future guests reading this review:
Communication: As a self-check-in site, we contact all our guests directly via WhatsApp prior to arrival with gate codes, arrival instructions, and local info. We are always available at the end of the phone or WhatsApp if guests need anything during their stay!
Facilities: As detailed on our booking listing, we operate as a tranquil, back-to-basics certificated site. Our facilities consist of a standard chemical disposal / blue waste flush point and basic essentials rather than a luxury toilet/shower block.
Local Transport: Please note for future travellers
that there is no direct bus service to Cambridge directly from our village.
We appreciate your visit and hope you enjoyed the peaceful surrounding countryside.
On the whole a really nice site which we’d recommend and return to.
Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Great location, easy scenic walks along the riverside to several nice pubs and eateries. Site has a chilled relaxed vibe, clean facilities and was surprisingly very quiet after dark, despite being a busy weekend with lots of family’s present.
Disliked Not that the site can alter the weather of course, but grass so short and brown it was almost nonexistent in parts of our pitch, which exposed old litter, large stones and even a pint glass which we cleared away before wanting to sit out.

Electric grass pitch
Liked A quiet, beautifully simple spot — Gunthorpe Camping gave us calm, space, and a touch of exclusivity. With only two other campervans on the field, it felt wonderfully secluded. The facilities were spotless, and the wide views created a near‑wild‑camping vibe without losing comfort. Perfect for anyone seeking peace, simplicity, and countryside charm.
