  • 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.

Ruth K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Quiet touring site with level grass pitches. Clean facilities and well-kept green areas. Welcomed by friendly Site Warden and shown our pitch. I had written on my booking a specific requirement and the Site Manager was very understanding of my this. When you arrive, you need to phone the Reception area and given a pass number for the security gate and the keypad is on the back of the barrier so you need to get out of your vehicle to access this! Watched quite a few people looking for this in confusion. Upon arrival you are given a door code to access the Showers/Toilets and Washing- Up facilities. Plenty of good walks around, especially if you head over to UK's largest flood Plain meadow (Portholme) where you can walk to Godmanchester and Huntingdon. The canals nearby are exceptionally clean and you can spot the local wildlife doing their thing....

Disliked: Not a real problem but can be inconvenient for some - the facilities shut for cleaning at 10.30 - 11.00 so if you are leaving the site to go home at 11.00 am (like most customers do), you are not able to visit the facilities just before you leave! I did anyway at around 11.05 am am as I was somewhat desperate, but there was no-one in the building anyway. I felt a bit naughty breaking this rule! 11.00 to 12.00 pm would be an ideal choice of shutdown, but then I am not a busy Warden with lots to do!

From the manager: Thank you Ruth for you lovely kind review, much appreciated. A pleasure to have you both at The Willows and hope to see you both again soon. Point noted about toilet block closure at 1030am but please note latest check out is 11am and it takes an hour to turn the block around (plus myself!!) and ready for new people checking in at 12noon so sadly not possible to close them later!

Nice site with beautiful walks close by. Facilities clean and well managed.…
