  • Peaceful adults-only holiday park 10 minutes' drive from Ramsey
  • A half-hour drive to Ely; 20 minutes to Decoy Lakes coarse fishery
  • Fishing on site, either in the lake or on River Nene
Which is better – lake fishing or river fishing? Decide for yourself at Riverside Lake and Leisure, a Cambridgeshire holiday park that has both right there on site. As you may imagine for a site in the Fens and on the banks of the River Nene, it’s all rather scenic around here – and it’s pretty peaceful too, as this is an adults-only site (although you're welcome to bring dogs along). It all makes for an excellent setup for a break centred around fishing, in which you’ll be free to merrily meander between lakeside and river shore as you wish (and if that’s not enough, take an outing to Decoy Lakes, one of the UK’s leading coarse fisheries, 20 minutes’ drive away). That’s not to say that it all has to be about the fishing though: this site is equally well set for rural rambles or bike rides, or for days out in Ely and Cambridge. Closer to home, the local town of Ramsey (10 minutes’ drive) has two golf courses, and there’s another in Pidley (20 minutes) along with a bowling alley. Between all those local towns and villages (along with bigger Huntingdon and Peterborough, 15 miles away) you should be all sorted for restaurants, pubs and takeaways, plus supplies for picnics or for evenings by the barbecue back on site. A bathroom block on site has separate male and female toilets and showers (but please note that unfortunately these are not wheelchair-friendly).

What customers say

This adult-only site gets rave reviews for its spotless grounds, peaceful vibe, and spacious, level pitches. Guests love the clean, modern washrooms (some with AC). The fishing lake is a big plus. It's remote, so you'll need a car for amenities, and roads can be bumpy, but most visitors highly recommend it and plan to come back.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at Riverside Lake and Leisure and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The site is exceptionally clean, well maintained and has a lovely peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.

The pitches are spacious and well laid out, giving everyone plenty of room, and the toilet and shower facilities were spotless throughout our stay. It’s clear that the owners take great pride in keeping the site to a very high standard.

The fishing lake is a real bonus and provides a beautiful setting, whether you’re fishing or simply enjoying the views. The whole site feels quiet, friendly and welcoming.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, adults-only campsite with excellent facilities and immaculate surroundings, Riverside Lake and Leisure is hard to beat. Excellent value for money and highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked This was a very clean and well cared for site. The shower and toilet block were spotless and the little fishing lake was obviously looked after.

Disliked The drive, down to the site, is long with some pretty deep potholes, it’s best to drive slowly. The site has no other facilities, the local shops can be reached by car or bike but they are quite a long way. If you’re looking for peace and quiet with very intermittent (or no) internet, then this is an ideal site.

Local attractions

Fishing for some more wildlife-geared activities? Then, you’ll be in a good place to do so, as the Lattersey Local Nature Reserve (20 minutes' drive) has a good load of animals and plants and the Raptor Foundation has a birds of prey display (25 minutes). For more of the actual fishing, if you haven’t already had your fill on site, Decoy Lakes coarse fishery (20 minutes) is a short drive away. Onto some new horizons… it may be a little further out, but Cambridge (an hour) has all the makings of a good afternoon out, from college tours to punting on the river or browsing through the Fitzwilliam Museum. Ely Cathedral (half an hour) is another of those good historic sites, and there’s another cathedral in Peterborough (half an hour), along with a greyhound track and the Nene Valley Railway. That’s one heritage railway, but there’s another at the Fenland Light Railway (five minutes’ walk), which has a narrow-gauge steam train and locomotives. Once you’ve had a good look at the world of the railways, Ramsey Rural Museum (10 minutes’ drive) will move you onto countryside life in the 17th century.
