Peaceful adults-only site with meadows, a woodland and river views
A 15-minute drive from Ely and 25 minutes from Cambridge
A mile and a half from the village stores, post office and local pub

Ready for hols touring the East Anglian fens? There's plenty of scope for outdoorsy wanders at Bridge House Meadows – this peaceful adults-only Cambridgeshire spot is right in the middle of England's big sky country and surrounded by coastal plains. Jaunts to nearby cultural hubs can also be sorted – 'tis rare indeed to have two such fine historic cities on your doorstep, but at Bridge House Meadows you can visit Ely's ancient cathedral (15 minutes' drive) or Cambridge's punts, quads and colleges (25 minutes) and still be back in time for tea. There's plenty to admire on site here, too – meadows, a woodland and river views all add up to a fine backdrop for stays at this quiet, back-to-basics park. Bridge House Meadows is all about restful stays in the open air (the fact that there are no noisy tots within earshot certainly helps with the restful part). This comely rural spot has a mix of habitats, so make sure to keep an eye out for visiting wildlife as you wander or take deckchair time. The site keeps facilities low key so as not to detract from the wild surrounds, but it's easier than you might think to venture out to the outside world – this seemingly remote spot is about a mile and a half from the village of Stretham, where there's a pub, post office, basic food shop and takeaway. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We were the only people there so it was nice and quiet. There was a portaloo and we were able to empty our chemical cassette in there.

Disliked: The entrance was a bit messy and did not look welcoming but the field itself was well looked after. The weeds around the electric points needed to be cut back as they were large stinging nettles.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: My second stay at this site. First time on electric, second time without. This site is basic, just a porta loo and tap. It is lovely and quiet, you get a choice of pitch if not on hook up, there are 5 electric hook up pitches, the site is lovely, all grass, well maintained, close to river for walking, welcoming and friendly owner

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very quiet and pretty site. Lovely watching rabbits and woodpecker family sharing the pitch. It's a basic site but water, electric all good and hosts very helpful. Nearby river for some simple fishing a couple of minutes walk.

Disliked: Not a dislike but advice..use Google maps rather than your sat nav, it's a small lane and satnav can miss it.

Would definitely go back again if passing.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: This was a beautiful site , tucked out of the way. Just a toilet. No showers, but just what we wanted. Pitch where you like. We were the only campers there and it was fantastic.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. Apart from the mossie bites. But I guess I’m just juicy flesh!

Liked: Lovely site close to the river. Plenty of wildlife and the large pond was stunning with many lillies in bloom. Very pleasant and helpful owner. A great circular walk along by the river cross the bridge and turn back on the other side. I would definitely stay here again. Very clean portable toilet

Local attractions

Cambridgeshire, as a rule, is a pretty flat place, so don't hesitate to bring your bike along on stays here – there's little chance of getting puffed out pedalling uphill. Riverside rambles are also on the cards: head south from the site along the river Great Ouse if you fancy strolling down to the pub at the Lazy Otter Marina (you can also drive there in about five minutes). Nearby Ely (15 minutes) has its own waterside area, where restaurants, pubs and art galleries are spaced out along the river. After a spot of lunch, a cream tea or maybe just a bit of window shopping, wander down into town to admire the cathedral or explore Civil War history at Oliver Cromwell's House. There's also a popular market here on Thursdays and at weekends. Cambridge (25 minutes) has a similar small-town vibe to Ely, but the city is also home to some world-class museums (if you're pressed for time, head to the Fitzwilliam). Green-fingered guests should also take the chance to explore Cambridge University Botanic Gardens and peruse some of the 8,000 plants on show.
