Liked: Beautiful simple site that does everything just right. The showers are the cleanest and hottest I’ve experienced on a campsite and I love that you can pitch where you like!
Disliked: Could do with another mirror in shower block!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: I am a single mum who came to stay for one night with my teenage son. The site was well signposted, welcoming, spacious and the facilities were clean. I really liked the laid-back friendly and eco-ethos of the site. It was perfect for families with young children and lovely and quiet at night (no music) with the nature reserve just yards away, and a beautiful view of the night sky. We also enjoyed a hot drinks and pastries from the visiting coffee van on the Saturday morning (also on Sundays, i believe). My son and I also loved the on-site pizza and being able to have a fire pit, with wood to buy from the little tented shop. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Liked: Small, quiet site. Eco-aware (recycling rubbish, non chemical toilets…) Simple but clean amenities. Ingenious sanitary solutions, small honesty based shop… everything esthetically pleasing!
Disliked: We would have bought wood if available in smaller amount.

Liked: Our family and our dog recently had a very enjoyable stay at the Greener Camping Club - Cuckoo Fen Campsite. On a spacious camping field, actually a meadow decorated with wild flowers, this campsite provided us with the perfect canvas to immerse ourselves in the tranquility of nature. The carefully designed amenities were a testament to the site's commitment to sustainability. The original and ecologically built facilities, including the toilets, were not only innovative, but also in line with our values of taking care of the environment during our holiday. It was encouraging to see how the site managed to put environmentally friendly practices first without compromising on comfort. With sincere thanks, Kuipers family from Belgium

Liked: Very nice campsite in the midst of nature (but not too far from a local village). Friendly owner. Generous pitches. Clean loos and showers. Didn't try the pizza or coffee, but sounded very tempting. Would definitely return.

Liked: A peacefully friendly atmosphere on a beautiful and well-located site. I camped for a fortnight and greatly appreciated the clean toilets, free firebowls, weekend coffee availability and weekly opportunity to order a pizza cooked on site by the campsite owners. There's a river nearby, and it was ideally situated for trips to nearby towns and cities via the busway (especially good if you've got a bike). Possibly the best camping experience I've had yet! coming back as soon as possible. Thanks Tim and Emma.
