What customers say
This small, friendly campsite is praised for its peaceful location and proximity to Cambridge, with easy access to local pubs and amenities. While the site is undergoing renovations, the portacabin facilities are consistently described as clean and adequate, with friendly and helpful owners noted by many. Some guests found pitches a little narrow and mentioned road noise from the A10. Improvements are ongoing, with positive feedback on the potential of the site.

Anonymous Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Good for rail links into Cambridge.
Lake area really nice.
Disliked A lot of residential caravans and they are scruffy looking units too.
Bathrooms in run down ports cabins and looks like it’s not going to change anytime soon, dirty showers and leaking toilet in the men’s.
Very close pitches fire break gaps not being adhered to.
So much potential here going to waste, it could be a stunning site.
And all this could be yours for £30 a night plus £12 for electricity.

Would not recommend. Even if desperate!!!
Anonymous Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Traffic noise from A10.Awful during day.
Small uneven pitches.
Grass uncut.
Showers and toilets tiny ( old construction site huts) and not very clean.
Water taps for washing up basically non-existent.Very poor pressure and have to use one hand to keep tap on whilst trying to wash up with other.
Temperature of water only luke warm.
A lot of long term pitches very unkempt.Dont think grass gets cut whilst occupied which leads to a very untidy grubby scene.

Great stay at Shepreth. Very good host and facilities, would return!
Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Really helpful hosts on arrival.
Facilities clean and overall good experience
Disliked Couple of people a bit rowdy on the site, but to be fair they packed up and left around 11pm. Just not used to that on a campsite!

Facilities were spotless. Owners were really welcoming.
Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Lovely owners very helpful. We only stayed one night because we were passing through. It wasn’t very busy so we had ample space.
Disliked One star deducted because the only place we could find to walk the dogs was across a main road. There wasn’t loads of traffic but it was still a bit unnerving.

Peaceful, friendly site, but small and somewhat disorganised.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very peaceful and quiet location, making it a nice place to relax and unwind. The owners were friendly and helpful during our interactions and were kind enough to assist us by phone and FaceTime when we had difficulty locating the site on arrival. The shower facilities had reliable hot water and both the showers and toilets were generally clean. The site also felt safe and secure overall. There is a village park nearby which is useful for families with children
Disliked The site is much smaller than expected and pitches can feel quite close together, reducing privacy. During our stay there did not always appear to be someone available on site to direct new arrivals, which resulted in some campers pitching wherever space was available and the site feeling a little disorganised at times. Arrival instructions could also be clearer.
The toilet facilities would benefit from more regular checks. During our two-night stay, one of the toilets ran out of toilet roll and it had still not been replenished by the following day. Families with children should also be aware that the nearby park requires crossing a fairly busy road.
