Power optional grass and gravel campsite
Liked Nice site, reasonably close to Cambridge by either public transport , car or even bicycle.
Nice pub about 5-10 minutes walk away with a Dobbies Garden centre a few minutes further on which has a restaurant.
Disliked I imagine the showers could get busy if the site was full. Whilst there were a number of caravans on site they looked unoccupied and I wonder if they were used by contractors during the week.
Some pitches required a very long EHU cable. My cable would not stretch to the socket from my first pitch, number 10, but a quick call to Tony got my pitch changed.
A bit of riad noise from the A10 but nothing too intrusive.
I consider £36 per night, including EHU to be a bit expensive but it is probably due to the proximity to Cambridge.

Convenient for Cambridge, but not for the faint-hearted
Power optional grass and gravel campsite
Liked Budget site, tidily presented, with pleasing aspect across pond and stream, surrounded by grass and trees. Convenient location - 15 minute walk across fields and through village to Shepreth rail station for rapid train to Cambridge and all the delights there - it's what we came for. Also, it's a pleasantly small site, mostly out of earshot of the A10, and in winter with few others there, it wasn't crowded.
Disliked The toilet and shower blocks clean, but possibly least inviting of any we have used anywhere. Facilities need an upgrade. Electric shower produced a thin stream of mainly lukewarm water. Toilet cubicle is so small, it needs agility to enter the space and close the door. No legitimate place on site to dispose of grey water. Beware - at times it is challenging to exit onto A10 owing to volume of traffic. 16amp electricity supply, but regular trip-outs (we tour regularly and have not had this issue elsewhere).

Small family run site close to Cambridge
Power optional grass and gravel campsite
Liked Very friendly welcome from the owners who work hard to present the site. The pitches are all gravelled and well spaced. The shower and toilet facilities which are in porta cabins are kept very clean. Plenty of hot water. Good location only 6 miles from Cambridge Trumpington park and ride. Easy access off A10

Power optional grass and gravel campsite
Liked Handy to Cambridge. Nice flat site
Quite close to main road so some road noise.
Disliked Not a complaint but no card facilities so take cash or you’ll need to have a way to pay by bank deposit which isn’t always easy for foreigners

Adequate over night stop location
Power optional grass and gravel campsite
Liked Perfectly adequate overnight stop off. Convenient for Cambridge. Nothing to really dislike although it's all a bit tired and perhaps shabby. But everything works. Not the most picturesque, but reasonably quiet despite proximity to the A10. Pitch size compact TBH.
Disliked Price per night was high in my opinion for the quality of faciities and site aesthetics.
