What customers say
Ashleigh Lakes gets a tick for its chill vibes, ace staff, and top-notch pitches. Fishing's a ripper! Facilities are a bit old-school, but it's still a cracker spot and great value. Plenty of folks would come back.

Liked Myself and my husband and our two dogs stayed this weekend for the first time and we had a wonderful time away at Ashleigh Lakes.
Alf was so lovely and welcoming and we will certainly be returning again.
Lovely quiet camp site, brilliant facilities, great value for money and a beautiful lake on site to explore.
Thank you for having us!

From the manager: Thank you for such a positive review.
It was lovely to meet you and your dog (who's name I never got - my bad). It was also fascinating to see your setup - a first for this site in 20 years.
I look forward to seeing you and 'puppy' again.

Liked We had a lovely, peaceful 2 night stay at Ashleigh Lakes. Alf was friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed even though we arrived fairly late due to traffic. The site had everything we needed and overall it was a pleasant experience.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an absolute gem of a campsite! From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, peaceful, and perfectly looked after. The pitches were spacious, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to settle in straight away. The facilities were spotless and well-equipped — clearly cared for with real attention to detail.
But what truly set this stay apart was the host. Brilliant doesn’t even begin to cover it! Warm, approachable, and full of local knowledge, they went out of their way to make us feel at home. Whether it was offering tips on the best walks nearby, checking in to see if we needed anything, or just sharing a friendly chat, their hospitality was second to none. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it makes all the difference.
We left feeling relaxed, looked after, and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a campsite that combines excellent facilities with a host who really cares, look no further — this place is perfect!

Great value for money
Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site
Liked Stayed mid week and enjoyed the whole field to myself. Was met by Alf who talked me through the setup. Lovely and quiet evening enjoyed the bats and owls in the field. Field was well kept and grass kept short which on a wet morning was appreciated.
Showers were nice and hot and clean.

From the manager: Helena hi,
Thanks for your review. All feedback is appreciated (particularly if I'm described as a gentleman).
Your one night booking, which happened to be a Sunday night, may be the reason for finding the middle of fenland a little befeft of local amenities.
Just to clarify:-
There is a post office and shop 50m from the entrance to the site. It closes at midday on a Sunday, but opens at 08:30 on Monday morning.
There is also a local Community centre within 700m of the site entrance. It is open Wednesday to Saturday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Ultimately your Sunday night timing was unfortunate.
Sorry that I'll not see you again here.
Best regards
Alf
