  • Simple Cambridgeshire working farm site 15 minutes’ drive from Royston
  • Imperial War Museum Duxford and Cambridge both half an hour’s drive
  • Dog-friendly with spacious, level grass pitches; livestock on site
Prefer somewhere off the beaten track? The camping field at Eastgate Farm may only be 15 minutes’ drive from Royston and half an hour from Cambridge, but both places seem far, far away from this back-to-basics spot. Just a handful of level grass pitches are available on the small farm site, with no-frills facilities stretching to a shower and toilet, washing-up sink, water fill-up and waste disposal.   Barbecues are permitted on the camping field (you’ll need to bring all the gear with you), and you can stock up on groceries in small supermarkets in Bassingbourn (five minutes’ drive) or do larger shops in Royston. If you’d rather have a complete break from cooking, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, or you could make a night of it in Cambridge restaurants. A few practicalities now: as this is a rural working farm with livestock, please expect the sights, sounds and smells of a farm, and while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads when you’re on site. While the ground is level and flat, it can get wet in late autumn. There is occasional traffic noise too, but rarely at night.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Sarah, who manages the place, was the sweetest and kindest lady. I cycled there and had a late check in and Sarah was very patient with my questions before and during my stay. She also made sure to check in with me during my stay to make sure that I’m doing OK. She also told me where to buy groceries in the surrounding areas. The place was nice as well and the two toilets were clean at all time, and the washing up area too. Highly recommend.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I stayed directly in front of the sheep field. It was beautiful, they roamed directly up to the fence. The sunset perfectly in front of me. The site was quiet, so quiet, I slept beautifully. A peaceful campsite gem

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely working farm site, spacious pitch with electric next to a meadow full of sheep and lambs. A warm welcome from the owner and the wardens who were living on site with plenty of local knowledge.
A little farm noise now and again but that's to be expected. A gem handy for Cambridge and Duxford.

Disliked Facilities a little under par but very clean and functional.
