View across the pitches (added by manager 09 Aug 2022)

Peaceful family-run site a short stroll from the Great Ouse river
Canoe and small craft launch, fishing and play park
Acclaimed dog-friendly gastropub within 150 metres

Pitch up near the river and launch your canoe with ease at this small, secluded, friendly and well-maintained green site in Cambridgeshire countryside… or dangle a rod into the water for a spot of (free) coarse fishing, or keep a lazy eye on the offspring at the play park while you lounge about in this scenic setting… all up for easy grabs at Willows Park and Marina near Huntingdon and a short stroll from the Great Ouse river. All pitches are on grass, some under the handsome willow trees. Both areas have easy access to the well-maintained and heated bathroom block with toilets, showers, a big disabled-access bathroom, a laundry room and washing-up areas. There's plenty of room around the site and along the river for wanders; if your feet want to take you further, you can hook up with the Ouse Valley Way from Brampton or Huntingdon (or both; The Willows lies between the two). There's more coarse fishing too at the lake 750 metres away, you can hire boats a couple of miles away, and the watersports and events of Grafham Water are within 20 minutes' drive. Barbecues are allowed on site, but you might, sensibly, opt to sup and sip instead at the neighbouring Brampton Mill gastropub by the river a minute's walk away: it's dog-friendly here too.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Great location.

Disliked: This site is let down by the cleaner. Although the actual toilets/sinks were clean the rest if the facility need a good clean as they are ( no other was to put this) really dirty. Such a shame because although the toilet block is a bit old, if it had be cleaned properly this site would be 5 star all the way.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Think you might be mixing our facilities up with another site? 98% of our reviews even the one below who stayed the same time as you rate our facilities as 'clean' maybe out dated but certainly not dirty. You comment toilets and sinks clean but the rest dirty??!! Its a caravan park in a very rural location not a 5* Hotel after all!! Good luck in your future travels!

Liked: Location and Layout of the site really nice.

Disliked: Not the best welcome we've had not very friendly, felt a bit of a burden. No Motorhome grey waste disposal that we could find. (did'nt like to ask ) Toilet blocks not very clean and don't need complicated entrance lock.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Think you might be mixing us up as always greet guests with a smile!! All site information was on hand out you were given on check in... waste etc The entrance lock is simple (a 4 digit code?! and is there for your safety as we sit on a public foot path!

Found Sharon extremely welcoming and friendly. Lovely peaceful site and well…

Liked: Found Sharon extremely welcoming and friendly. Lovely peaceful site and well looked after. Added bonus of a couple of pubs within walking distance and a nice walk into town or the country park. Personally prefer these smaller kind of sites to the larger club ones. Thankyou for an enjoyable 3 nights

Jane G. Aug 2024

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Really clean site. Helpful Site Manager. Plenty of good quality dog walks. Plenty of shade if needed. We wanted to be pitched next to our friends and this didn’t seem to be a problem. Lots of space between pitches. Toilet and shower block very clean. Great pub next to site food and setting beside the river was amazing.

Disliked: Had to pay extra for Wi-Fi. Our mobile Wi-Fi with EE wouldn’t work on site. The info we were given on arriving said no vehicle movement after 7 pm. We didn’t ask for clarification and there may have been exceptions that we weren’t aware of but the gates were shut at 7pm and opened again at 9 am. (I don’t know if they were locked nor if the barrier worked after 7 pm). If you took the information literally and went out for the day then had a meal out, your car or motor home couldn’t be driven onto site after 7pm. This would mean that your vehicle would have to be left outside the site perimeter with no adequate parking. Of course if you were in a Motor Home you would have to sleep outside of the site. If this again true I wouldn’t be very happy paying for a pitch and being shut out.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Jane for you great review and so pleased you had a great stay with us at The Willows. The gates are only closed for security and neither of them are locked incase of emergencies so generally people just open and close them if they find them closed! You would not be locked out!! Hope to see you again soon at The Willows

Overall a nice site for relaxing and would book again.
