  • Small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm
  • Ely 10 minutes' drive; 40 minutes from Cambridge city centre
  • A short walk from the river Great Ouse and traffic-free footpaths
Farmer's View is a small family-run campsite on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm. Conveniently located just 10 minutes' drive from the small city of Ely and its magnificent cathedral, this simple spot is in a rural location a short walk from the banks of the river Great Ouse. In fact, there's quite a lot of water around in this pretty part of East Anglia, as the site is also within striking distance of the river Lark, lots of old irrigation ditches and Roswell Pits Nature Reserve, a local wildlife haven on the outskirts of Ely. You're also a couple of miles from the Prickwillow Engine Museum, a volunteer-run local heritage centre where you can inspect historic fen pumping equipment up close. The facilities at Farmer's View are well-maintained and include toilets and shower blocks. Barbecues and campfires are permitted and four-legged companions are welcome to come along and join you. Farmer's View's pitches are all very flat and level – even by East Anglian standards. For supermarkets, shops, a public swimming pool, a railway station and restaurants, head into Ely. For days out, you're also within easy reach of Thetford Forest Park (30 minutes), Cambridge (40 minutes) and Bury St Edmunds (40 minutes).

What customers say

A grand spot, this. Easy on the wallet, the craic's good and the facilities are top-notch. Perfect base for Cambridge. A bit rough around the edges and noisy with planes and traffic, but overall a grand time had by all.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was in a good location for days out in Cambridge and the surrounding area. It was quiet with good facilities - toilets, showers, offer of a fire pit. We had a lovely welcome and told we could make ourselves as home.

Disliked It was tricky to find the first time but easy there after.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Excellent value for money.
This is a pop up campsite.
Huge flat field, pitch where you want.
Basic but spotlessly clean facilities, everything you need. Toilets and showers are uni sex but this is made very clear in their information.
Super efficient book in. Young girl and her friends were super friendly, polite and very professional. Advised us where everything was, brought us a fire pit at no extra charge.
Really relaxed and super friendly site. Would definitely recommend and return when they’re open again.

The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and Star (the cat) is so friendly and adorable. For the techies/those with the need, we had consistent 5G coverage. Would definitely recommend.

Disliked Nothing here to dislike!
