  • Well-maintained and gated park in a peaceful rural village
  • A 10-minute drive to Ely, 35 to Newmarket and 40 to Cambridge
  • Pub on site with trampoline; 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 an on-site pub called The Humble Pig (open from Tuesday to Sunday) with a lovely terrace where guests can sit and treat themselves 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. Entertainment, scheduled throughout June, July and August, is totally free and popular with members of the public too. This park is a prime spot for pet owners, 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.

What customers say

This well-maintained site receives high praise for its spacious, level pitches and exceptionally clean facilities, particularly the wet rooms. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, and the on-site pub and food van are popular additions, with live music often available at weekends. Located conveniently for exploring Ely, it's a popular choice for a relaxing break. Some minor points include occasional road noise and limited food options mid-week.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked This site has to be one of the best sites I've stayed at! Toilets & showers and other facilities were spotless. The ladies toilets even had a little basket with sanitary towels & body spray..... never seen that before. Washing up room had spare wash up liquid.
Grounds were very flat and all pegs went in with ease & stayed in perfect. No hard rocks or stones to end up with bent pegs!
The food place served the best dirty fries & lamb wrap. And the music on in the marquee was fantastic. The locals that attended were all friendly. An extra thank you from my tiny yorkie for the bone that was bigger than her lol.
Fresh water taps all around the site.
I really can't rate this place enough!
We will 100% be back.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

From the manager: Thanks Tracey - we love when our campers enjoy our site and appreciate the work that goes into keeping our site clean and well maintained. It was the first time "Rendition" has come to Slade Paddock and everyone who attended loved them, will definately have them back next season. Thanks for your review Sal and Trev

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We stayed 2 nights with our granddaughter and dog, we loved the site. Owners were very friendly, the facilities were lovely and clean. They had a food tent which did excellent food and a bar. Very friendly staff. They had a band playing on the Saturday evening which was brilliant.
Would definitely go there again.

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.
