What customers say

Lovely, tranquil site with plenty of space. Visitors love the friendly vibe & good location. Facilities are clean, though a bit old-fashioned. Lakes and wildlife are a big hit, especially for anglers. A few mention permanent residents or tidiness in parts.

Ron S.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Nice Area and roughly a 40 minutes walk into tge beautiful Town of st ives. Literally turn right out main gate and keep walking until you get to a roundabout. Go straight over and take next right, this road takes you by tge Dolphin hotel where if by motor you can oark for £2 then a walk over the bridge into town

Disliked Can't say I disliked anything, as other post suggests looks bit lije a traveller site but it's fine, shower and wc areas could do with a bit of TLC and there are no Dog litter bins
But overall enjoy.

Rebecca C.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Unsafe and badly managed. Strong smell of drugs, loud music late at night, dog mess everywhere and no clear pitches. As a young woman alone with a child I felt unwelcome and unsafe – even overheard being called a “silly cow.” Owner laughed at my concerns. I left early and lost money. Avoid this site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Rebecca, we’re sorry to hear your unpleasant experience at Crystal lakes . Although concerning the smell of drugs we cannot control the publics behaviour and this happened to be one of our busiest weekends of the whole year , regarding the loud music and dog mess - we do have a curfew at 10:30pm and unfortunately some campers choose to not respect vital site rules- and for the dog mess , we happen to live in a densely populated avian area which results in goose droppings and we very certainly assure you it is not dog mess due to our site being maintained consistently .Once again we cannot control the public behaviour on a very busy bank holiday - thank you .

Local attractions

Martini or tonic? Pick your poison at the Roundwood Distillery (20 minutes’ drive), where gin is the speciality. Beforehand, line your stomach with goodies sourced from the local market town, Huntington (10 minutes). Welcome to cathedral city… Ely (half an hour) is known as much for its rosy-cheeked gin as it is for its sky-high cathedral and stained glass museum. The cities are pretty imposing here, as Cambridge (25 minutes) is full of learning… master the art of punting on the river Cam or eye up modern art at the museums. Switch modern artefacts for jumbo jets at Britain’s largest aviation museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford (25 minutes). Then, bring things back down to earth at Houghton Mill (15 minutes), a National Trust site with tea rooms, canoeing and cycling at the final remaining mill on the river Ouse. Less for canoeing and more for wildlife spotting, RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes (10 minutes) harbours more waterways, frequented by otters, geese, ducks and swans.
