  • Well-maintained and gated park in a peaceful rural village
  • A 10-minute drive to Ely, 35 to Newmarket and 40 to Cambridge
  • Pub on site with trampoline; dog-walking track right across the road
Ease yourself into East Anglia by booking a pitch at Slade Paddock, a well-located and secure gated site in Witcham that is also part of a working farm. Splendid for ramblers and cyclists alike, there is a pub on site called The Humble Pig (open from Tuesday to Sunday) which has a lovely terrace to sit on and treat yourself to a drink. During high season, live music is held in the marquee on Saturday evenings, and on Friday and Saturday evenings, The Jolly Trotter food van provides delicious homemade food on site. This park is a prime spot for pet owners too, with a dog-walking track right across the road for guests bringing their four-legged pals along. History buffs are sorted here too thanks to a bus service that stops just off the local green and whisks you to the stately sights of Cambridge within an hour. Barbecues are allowed on the spacious open grounds too if you’re keen to rustle up alfresco food. Rather order local grub at a restaurant when evening rolls around? If you fancy dining out, eateries are a 15-minute drive away in Ely, which is also home to top local attractions like Oliver Cromwell’s House. Modern facilities at this Cambridgeshire park include four wetrooms with showers, two washing-up areas, and a toilet that's accessible for people with disabilities. Entertainment is scheduled throughout June, July and August.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked We had mixed feelings about our stay. The facilities themselves were great — clean toilets and a lovely beer garden to unwind in.

Disliked That said, the experience was let down by the staff. There was a clear lack of customer service experience, and the way we were treated made us feel unwelcome. Although the site allows children, it didn’t feel like a kid-friendly environment at all.

The pitches were also quite cramped, with very little space between tents and cars, and not much shade.

While we appreciated the live music, it would have been helpful to be informed before booking, so we could’ve made a more informed decision — the music went on past midnight, and it was difficult to get any sleep until the pub had cleared out.

From the manager: Thanks for your comments Arisol you,ve certainly made our decision for next season a lot easier,
If you spent as much time doing your research is you did making these comments you probably would have made your informed decision and gone to Disneyland!
You must have been on a different time zone as the music has to be finished by 11pm\!
Had you came over earlier and complained about lack of sleep we would have stopped the band and asked everyone to go home!!!!!
Kind regards T

Liked Lovely well organised smallish site with the personal touch. Location great, 15 minute drive to Ely. Facilities very clean and accessible. Mini pub is an added bonus along with the food van where the ladies work their socks off. Having live music from a brilliant band on the saturday night was the icing on the cake. Really lovely stay!

Liked Lovely little campsite, had a small on site pub with live music on the Saturday night and a food van which sold lovely wraps. Really clean facilities and staff very helpful. Small site but the other campers were chatty too!

Disliked Bit remote but that's more a personal preference.

Liked The site is very well maintained with large level pitches. The loos and showers were very clean. the food from the food truck was delicious and the band that was on that night was good. There is a bus stop nearby with buses to Ely. Nice vibe with friendly staff and campers.

Disliked A little bit of road noise first thing but nothing major.

Local attractions

Ely (15 minutes’ drive) has endless activities to keep you entertained: head to this town to roam around the cracking cathedral and stained-glass museum before leaping onto a Liberty Belle Cruises boat at Ship Lane to bob along the Great Ouse river. Fancy a flutter? Newmarket (35 minutes) is known for being the birthplace of horse racing, so it’s a must-visit spot for equestrian types. Peer at the high-tech displays in Palace House’s National Horseracing Museum, timing your visit to the town just right to catch a fixture at the renowned racecourse afterwards. If you’re hot on history, you’ll want to amble around Anglesey Abbey (35 minutes) and admire the artworks before covering some of the 98 acres of grounds during a stroll. Wander to Wimpole Hall (40 minutes) later on, stopping to fawn over the farm animals that live here, then eye up the aviation displays – an old Concorde plane included – at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (40 minutes). Many of East Anglia’s other absorbing attractions are in Cambridge (40 minutes): think a series of stunning colleges, fab art galleries like the Fitzwilliam Museum and pleasant punting on the River Cam.
