  • Sandringham Estate 40 minutes’ drive; RSPB Snettisham 45 minutes
  • Farm shop, pubs, ten-pin bowling and play area five minutes’ drive
Looking for a dog-friendly escape in The Fens? Fully serviced pitches? Hey presto – here’s The Paddocks, a neatly manicured campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. The handful of grass pitches each has an electric hook-up and views over open fields, and you (and the dog, no doubt) will be pleased to hear that there are loads of walkies opportunities both on and off the site. Modern amenities with pristine showers and a family room are found at the corner of the (nicely level) camping field. Go quietly about your day and you may spot some of the local wildlife as you explore the site. If you’re keen to spark up the barbecue for alfresco family dining, you can pick up supplies at the farm shop in the local village of Guyhirn (five minutes’ drive). The village also has a ten-pin bowling alley, soft-play area and a kids’ park for when the kids need a run around – and if you fancy a change of scenery of an evening, a choice of pubs and restaurants can be accessed in around 10 minutes’ stroll along a public footpath from the camping field.

Fully-serviced grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely flat site well maintained. Clean warm facilities with lovely hot water. Unfortunately it was very wet when we stayed so we had problems getting on and off the pitch. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. The towed us off twice then offered us an alternative space to park and even found us another hook up lead so we still had power. Lovely people and campsite will be returning.

Disliked: Only the weather but no one can help with that!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great location, very clean and tidy pitches. Toilet and shower room was great quality. Super owner, was able to give recommendations about the local area.

Disliked: Toilet and shower in the same room means if someone is showering, there is a wait for the toilet, not so good if you’re desperate but manageable once you know.

Local attractions

First on your bucket list may be a snoop around Sandringham Estate (40 minutes’ drive), one of many homes belonging to King Charles III, and open for tours of opulent royal apartments and acres of manicured grounds. Houghton Hall and Gardens (50 minutes) is almost as grand as its near neighbour, with wacky sculptures scattered in lush parkland as well as lavishly ornate interiors to admire. There are more historic buildings in Georgian-era Wisbech (10 minutes); the National Trust-owned Peckover House and Garden is an elegant masterpiece of early 18th-century architecture, while the town’s castle – first built just after 1066 but much reworked – is host to concerts and other family events. When you’ve had enough of culture, make for 225-year-old Elgood’s Brewery for tastings of their artisan ales. If the kids are pushing for the seaside, try the shingle beach at RSPB Snettisham (45 minutes), where you can also spot wading birds in their thousands (time a visit for sunset when they are coming in to roost), or let the dogs have a romp on the canine-friendly sands at Heacham South Beach (50 minutes).
