  • Small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm
  • Ely 10 minutes' drive; 40 minutes from Cambridge city centre
  • A short walk from the river Great Ouse and traffic-free footpaths
Farmer's View is a small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm. Conveniently located just 10 minutes' drive from the small city of Ely and its magnificent cathedral, this simple spot is in a rural location a short walk from the banks of the river Great Ouse. In fact, there's quite a lot of water around in this pretty part of East Anglia, as the site is also within striking distance of the river Lark, lots of old irrigation ditches and Roswell Pits Nature Reserve, a local wildlife haven on the outskirts of Ely. You're also a couple of miles from the Prickwillow Engine Museum, a volunteer-run local heritage centre where you can inspect historic fen pumping equipment up close. The facilities at Farmer's View are well-maintained and include toilets and shower blocks. Barbecues and campfires are permitted and four-legged companions are welcome to come along and join you. Farmer's View's pitches are all very flat and level – even by East Anglian standards. For supermarkets, shops, a public swimming pool, a railway station and restaurants, head into Ely. For days out, you're also within easy reach of Thetford Forest Park (30 minutes), Cambridge (40 minutes) and Bury St Edmunds (40 minutes).

Masami K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The site is beautiful. My favourite time of day was the mornings, so bright and crisp! Really lovely location and peaceful site. Great facilities, kept very clean and it did not feel crowded at all, even though it was a bank holiday weekend. The showers were lovely, clean and very hot (a great bonus!). The owners were all so friendly and welcoming!

Disliked: This is just a suggestion for improvement. The washing up sink was just a standalone sink with a very short tube for the water waste. This meant that if a few groups did the washing up in succession, the water would not drain and it became very water-logged around the sink with bits of food floating about. Our shoes got absolutely soaked. It would be a good improvement to either make the pipe longer and make the waste go down into a far-away ditch or similar, or maybe even connect it to a waste pipe. I can imagine this would be an even bigger problem if the weather was much wetter.
