What customers say
Great site, spacious pitches, clean wet rooms. Friendly staff, popular pub & food van, often with live music. Handy for Ely, good for a chill break. Can be noisy from the road, limited food mid-week.

Perfect site!
Powered grass caravan site
Liked This site has to be one of the best sites I've stayed at! Toilets & showers and other facilities were spotless. The ladies toilets even had a little basket with sanitary towels & body spray..... never seen that before. Washing up room had spare wash up liquid.
Grounds were very flat and all pegs went in with ease & stayed in perfect. No hard rocks or stones to end up with bent pegs!
The food place served the best dirty fries & lamb wrap. And the music on in the marquee was fantastic. The locals that attended were all friendly. An extra thank you from my tiny yorkie for the bone that was bigger than her lol.
Fresh water taps all around the site.
I really can't rate this place enough!
We will 100% be back.

Excellent Site
Powered grass tent site
Liked We stayed 2 nights with our granddaughter and dog, we loved the site. Owners were very friendly, the facilities were lovely and clean. They had a food tent which did excellent food and a bar. Very friendly staff. They had a band playing on the Saturday evening which was brilliant.
Would definitely go there again.

Liked Evreything, staff all very friendly (Jane in particular), this was our third visit won't
be the last hopefully, toilets and showers spotlessly clean, lovely dog walk,
bar onsite food van and entertainment most weekends.
Disliked Would have preferred to book direct but as I was booking two pitches six months in advance felt uncomfortable paying in full at that time,

Slade Paddock: clean, calm, great food
Powered grass tent site
Liked Just returned from a fantastic stay at Slade Paddock and already planning my next visit! This quality campsite ticks all the boxes — clean, peaceful, and perfectly located just a short drive from both Ely and Cambridge.
🛶 Tranquility Meets Convenience
The site is beautifully maintained and blissfully quiet, offering a real escape without sacrificing access to nearby attractions. Whether you’re exploring Ely’s historic charm or heading into Cambridge, everything’s within easy reach.
🍔 Food That Hits the Spot
The on-site eats from The Jolly Hog are a real treat — bold BBQ flavours, top-notch sausages, and British fare served with flair. It’s not just tasty, it’s memorable.
🍻 Pub Perfection
Just steps away, The Humble Pig delivers everything you want in a countryside pub: lush vibes, friendly service, and prices that won’t break the bank. A proper gem.
🚿 Facilities That Stay Spotless
Toilets were spotless throughout our stay — clearly well cared for and regularly cleaned, which makes all the difference.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Slade Paddock offers the perfect blend of countryside calm and creature comforts. If you’re after a relaxing break with great food, clean facilities, and easy access to Ely and Cambridge, this is the spot.
Will definitely be back!
Disliked Only negative, pegs were almost impossible to get out of the ground due to hardness - however, understand this cannot be helped - did not put us off at all.

From the manager: Do you know what Bradley, we so so appreciate the time you took to write this review and will be using your amazing photo's from your drone on our website (if in agreement) - so an extra thanks......
So happy that you both enjoyed your stay and grateful that you recognise what we have on offer on our little but friendly site.
Thanks again Bradley - and if/when you return we will take your bloody hard to remove pegs out for you haha!!!!!
Cheers

Liked Everything. We love this campsite, there’s so much space for each pitch which is wonderful for children. They were pretty much fully booked and there was still enough space for everyone and it was so peaceful. We will definitely return
The staff are so polite and accommodating. The bar is well stocked and the food van has the most amazing homemade food
