  • 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 Big open field and they make sure not to overfill it. We played ball games in the middle, others were playing football on the movable goals that the owners provided. Could have a campfire and they sold wood if needed. Overall very spacious, you felt like you had privacy as well as community. Plenty of toilets with hot water sinks, only one shower but just time it right!
There is a sink outside to wash up cooking stuff, waste disposal, recycling. It is a 'real' campsite - nothing fancy but everything you need!
