- Well-maintained rural Cambridgeshire site with two-acre fishing lake
- A 20-minute drive to King's Lynn; Sandringham Estate half an hour
- Animals to meet on site including wallabies, pygmy goats and ponies
Fancy doing a bit of fishing while on your break? Would meeting ponies, donkeys, wallabies, rabbits and pygmy goats make your kids’ day (or yours, for that matter)? If the answer to either (or both) of these questions is yes, then a stay at Virginia Lake Caravan Park should be on the cards.
This well-maintained family-run site is in the Cambridgeshire countryside about 15 minutes’ drive from Wisbech and 20 minutes from King’s Lynn, and it’s a place that should find favour among all sorts of guests, including fishing fans, families and dog owners.
The big attraction here is the fishing lake, which spreads over two acres and is stocked with bream, roach, rudd, perch and other fish including carp weighing 30 pounds plus. Day tickets can be bought on site, with kids welcome to fish as long as they’re accompanied by an adult at all times.
If the kids don’t fancy fishing, they can spend a bit of time at the play area, meet the friendly farm animals or look out for local wildlife – muntjacs, foxes, bats, kingfishers and owls are among the species that are often spotted around the place. There are also football pitches, skate parks and a roller skating rink close by for easy outings.
Other easy outings include the trip to Terrington St John (two miles away) for a restaurant, a pub and a fish and chip shop. A local shop is also within walking distance – handy for snacks, drinks and bits for a barbecue back at your pitch.
On-site facilities include a washing-up area and chemical disposal point as well as a full amenities block with wheelchair-accessible bathrooms.

Local attractions
If you can bear to leave the fishing and wallabies behind for a while, you can set out to explore places like Wisbech (15 minutes), home to a swimming pool, a couple of cinemas and the historic houses Peckover House and Octavia Hill’s Birthplace House. King’s Lynn (20 minutes) is another option, with a couple of museums and the 11th-century museum.
Kids can’t get enough of the animal antics on site? There’s more of a similar ilk at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve (20 minutes). For more of a grownup outing, set off to Sandringham Estate (half an hour) to roam around the 400-acre country park and gardens and learn more about royal life.
And of course who could resist a day at the seaside? Heacham (35 minutes) and Hunstanton (40 minutes) are both excellent places to spend the day, with amusement arcades, rockpooling and watersports to try out. Sea Life Hunstanton is a great option for those who’d like to learn more about marine life.
