  • Peaceful adults-only holiday park 10 minutes' drive from Ramsey
  • A half-hour drive to Ely; 20 minutes to Decoy Lakes coarse fishery
  • Fishing on site, either in the lake or on River Nene
Which is better – lake fishing or river fishing? Decide for yourself at Riverside Lake and Leisure, a Cambridgeshire holiday park that has both right there on site. As you may imagine for a site in the Fens and on the banks of the River Nene, it’s all rather scenic around here – and it’s pretty peaceful too, as this is an adults-only site (although you're welcome to bring dogs along). It all makes for an excellent setup for a break centred around fishing, in which you’ll be free to merrily meander between lakeside and river shore as you wish (and if that’s not enough, take an outing to Decoy Lakes, one of the UK’s leading coarse fisheries, 20 minutes’ drive away). That’s not to say that it all has to be about the fishing though: this site is equally well set for rural rambles or bike rides, or for days out in Ely and Cambridge. Closer to home, the local town of Ramsey (10 minutes’ drive) has two golf courses, and there’s another in Pidley (20 minutes) along with a bowling alley. Between all those local towns and villages (along with bigger Huntingdon and Peterborough, 15 miles away) you should be all sorted for restaurants, pubs and takeaways, plus supplies for picnics or for evenings by the barbecue back on site. A bathroom block on site has separate male and female toilets and showers (but please note that unfortunately these are not wheelchair-friendly).

What customers say

This adult-only campsite is consistently praised for its exceptional cleanliness, peaceful atmosphere, and spacious, level pitches. Guests highlight the immaculate toilet and shower facilities, often described as hotel-standard, and appreciate the on-site fishing lake included in the pitch fee. The friendly and helpful owners contribute to a relaxing stay. While the remote location ensures tranquility, it necessitates driving for amenities. Minor criticisms include the condition of surrounding roads and occasional lack of Wi-Fi signal.

Liked Very quiet, remote but well maintained site. Clean shower & toilet block. Lovely fishing lake and dog walking field - surrounded by nature.

Disliked Pot holes and uneaven road surface on the road leading to the site made the last couple of miles a bit of a scary drive.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (large)

Liked Large hard standing pitch with plenty of room for the awning & side tent. Lovely & peaceful large fishing lake. Toilets and shower block were spotless. Will definitely be coming back ideal weekend retreat as its only an hour away.

Disliked Just be careful on the Fen roads they are a bit bumpy. But I've driven on these roads before so normally just drive down the middle when nothings coming the other way. If you've been to the Fens before you will know about the roads. Don't be put off by other reviews regrading the roads. You won't be disappointed when you get there.

Local attractions

Fishing for some more wildlife-geared activities? Then, you’ll be in a good place to do so, as the Lattersey Local Nature Reserve (20 minutes' drive) has a good load of animals and plants and the Raptor Foundation has a birds of prey display (25 minutes). For more of the actual fishing, if you haven’t already had your fill on site, Decoy Lakes coarse fishery (20 minutes) is a short drive away. Onto some new horizons… it may be a little further out, but Cambridge (an hour) has all the makings of a good afternoon out, from college tours to punting on the river or browsing through the Fitzwilliam Museum. Ely Cathedral (half an hour) is another of those good historic sites, and there’s another cathedral in Peterborough (half an hour), along with a greyhound track and the Nene Valley Railway. That’s one heritage railway, but there’s another at the Fenland Light Railway (five minutes’ walk), which has a narrow-gauge steam train and locomotives. Once you’ve had a good look at the world of the railways, Ramsey Rural Museum (10 minutes’ drive) will move you onto countryside life in the 17th century.
