  • Elevated site looking over Cambridgeshire
  • Eco off-grid Organic Market Garden & campsite
  • Wild camping with new facilities in 2027
Escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in nature at our off-grid, organic campsite in the heart of the scenic Cambridgeshire countryside. Perfect for eco-conscious travellers, families, and anyone looking to unplug, our site offers a peaceful sanctuary where sustainability meets simple outdoor living. Set on organic land, our spacious pitches give you plenty of room to breathe, relax, and reconnect with the environment. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, spend your days exploring local walking trails, and finish your evenings stargazing around a campfire under unpolluted night skies. As a fully off-grid site, we encourage guests to slow down and embrace a low-impact lifestyle. Our facilities are designed to respect the local ecosystem, featuring clean composting toilets, eco-friendly bucket showers, and dedicated recycling points. Without the distraction of Wi-Fi or mains electricity, you can truly switch off and enjoy a traditional, back-to-basics camping experience. While you will feel a world away from modern life, our campsite is ideally located for exploring the best of Cambridgeshire. We are just a short drive or cycle away from historic Cambridge, where you can go punting on the River Cam, explore world-famous university architecture, or visit vibrant local markets. Closer to the site, you will find charming fenland villages, traditional country pubs, and local nature reserves teeming with wildlife. Whether you are pitching a tent or bringing a small campervan, we invite you to tread lightly, relax deeply, and enjoy an authentic, sustainable slice of Cambridgeshire paradise.
