  • Small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm
  • Ely 10 minutes' drive; 40 minutes from Cambridge city centre
  • A short walk from the river Great Ouse and traffic-free footpaths
Farmer's View is a small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm. Conveniently located just 10 minutes' drive from the small city of Ely and its magnificent cathedral, this simple spot is in a rural location a short walk from the banks of the river Great Ouse. In fact, there's quite a lot of water around in this pretty part of East Anglia, as the site is also within striking distance of the river Lark, lots of old irrigation ditches and Roswell Pits Nature Reserve, a local wildlife haven on the outskirts of Ely. You're also a couple of miles from the Prickwillow Engine Museum, a volunteer-run local heritage centre where you can inspect historic fen pumping equipment up close. The facilities at Farmer's View are well-maintained and include toilets and shower blocks. Barbecues and campfires are permitted and four-legged companions are welcome to come along and join you. Farmer's View's pitches are all very flat and level – even by East Anglian standards. For supermarkets, shops, a public swimming pool, a railway station and restaurants, head into Ely. For days out, you're also within easy reach of Thetford Forest Park (30 minutes), Cambridge (40 minutes) and Bury St Edmunds (40 minutes).

This is a quiet, spacious, and friendly campsite praised for its clean facilities and beautiful countryside views. Pitch-up is easy, with plenty of room between pitches. Visitors highlight the helpful and welcoming owners, offering advice and even provided items like fire pits and toys for children.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was in a good location for days out in Cambridge and the surrounding area. It was quiet with good facilities - toilets, showers, offer of a fire pit. We had a lovely welcome and told we could make ourselves as home.

Disliked It was tricky to find the first time but easy there after.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked This place is so lovely. The people who run it are so welcoming. Really nice site. Loads of spaces between pitches. Clean facilities. Fire pits to use. They sell wood too though we had brought our own. Kids loved the fact that they had balls and things they could use. Fully recommend and will be going back :)

Disliked Nothing really. Road in was a bit bumpy but nothing to write home about. If you want a nice and chill site this is the one to go for :)

Liked Lovely site at a great price. Basic facilities but kept immaculately cleaned and a lovely welcome by the young couple running the site. Handy for Ely (10 mins drive) and walks along the river.

Disliked Nothing, great to visit a proper farm site.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Basic facilities, low key, friendly site. Very reasonably priced, so good value.
Although we didn’t have any children with us, the site was very child friendly, plenty of room for playing football etc. Our grandchildren would’ve been very happy here.
