  • 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).

Patrick L.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Plenty of space to put ones tent and car/s. Will supply fire pit and logs. No reception area as its a pop up park . Owners friendly and approachable. Facilities like amenities- toilets clean and sink areas good with mirrors . Shower/showers adequate although one works better than the other and there's only one outer door to be locked for both showers.

Disliked Washing up area adequate although only providing cold water( i just used hot water from toilet block) . Didn't like quad bikes zooming up and down hill.
Was going to pack up at midnight 2nd night as was awoken by combine harvesters and tractors blaring lights into my tent. This went on all night ( so got no sleep). Credit to the owner he didn't know this was going to happen and he should have been forewarned. Wasn't offered any kind of monetary compensation for the inconvenience of tractors and combine harvesters keeping us awake .

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Booked this site really last minute and it was perfect for what I was after. Toilets are great and for a basic site nice that it offers a shower too. The owners were on hand the whole time for any questions and were super friendly. Some pitches have a slight slope but the majority are flat and I had a great stop over here. Would recommend!

Disliked Nothing.
