  • Dog-friendly Cambridgeshire site with 12 acres of meadowland and lakes
  • A 25-minute drive from Cambridge and 35 minutes to Ely; access to A14
  • Carp and coarse fishing lakes; restaurant and kids' centre
What will you reel in first? With carp and coarse fishing on site, and the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside, it could be a big catch or a haul of memorabilia… or photos of otters and swans at local nature reserves or all the family in front of a mighty cathedral. Set over 12 acres of meadowland and with two small mature fishing lakes on site, Crystal Lakes Caravan Park is a secluded family-friendly and dog-friendly site that's still within reach of a couple of urban areas: it's 10 minutes’ drive from Huntingdon and 25 minutes from Cambridge, with easy access to the A14. Eggs sunny side up or burgers by the bun? Find whichever option gets your tummy rumbling 10 minutes’ walk away in Fenstanton village centre, which has a butcher, two general stores, bakery and newsagent. There are also shops selling fresh garden produce and free-range eggs, an excellent fish and chip shop and a village pub. If you need to work up an appetite for all that food, hit the nearby cycle paths or public footpaths (there are over 600 miles of public footpaths around, as well as the RSPB reserve at Fen Drayton Lakes). Facilities back at base include spacious toilets and showers and hand basins, all supplied with free hot and cold water. Kids can play games, run about on the recreation field or sign up for various antics at the activity centre on site (entry charge applies as this is run by a different company). And of course fishing will surely keep you busy… there’s a small daily charge for that, with carp, tench, pike, bream and others to hook out of the two lakes.

Liked Facilities were clean and pitches were level. Price was okay.

Disliked Staff were very rude from the second we arrived. We was made to feel so unwelcome, we actually ended up leaving early. Pitches weren’t clearly marked.

BRADLEY S. 1 review

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Very relaxed environment across the site. Close enough to walk in to Fenstanton for a coffee and a roast.
Easy check in and arrival.
Toilet block, showers & sinks were always clean and stocked

Disliked Pitches are quite close together. The original plot we were put on was right in the middle of two groups so we moved as wouldn't have any space.
We saw 3-4 people arrive and asked to be moved because there wasn't enough space for them.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked A well-presented, spacious and budget-friendly site ideally situated for a couple of days of mainly traffic-free cycling around Cambridge, Ely and Huntingdon.

Disliked Only a minor problem but check-in was a little puzzling as reception appeared to be closed for the entirety of my stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Local attractions

Martini or tonic? Pick your poison at the Roundwood Distillery (20 minutes’ drive), where gin is the speciality. Beforehand, line your stomach with goodies sourced from the local market town, Huntington (10 minutes). Welcome to cathedral city… Ely (half an hour) is known as much for its rosy-cheeked gin as it is for its sky-high cathedral and stained glass museum. The cities are pretty imposing here, as Cambridge (25 minutes) is full of learning… master the art of punting on the river Cam or eye up modern art at the museums. Switch modern artefacts for jumbo jets at Britain’s largest aviation museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford (25 minutes). Then, bring things back down to earth at Houghton Mill (15 minutes), a National Trust site with tea rooms, canoeing and cycling at the final remaining mill on the river Ouse. Less for canoeing and more for wildlife spotting, RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes (10 minutes) harbours more waterways, frequented by otters, geese, ducks and swans.
