  • Peaceful family-run site a short stroll from the Great Ouse river
  • Canoe and small craft launch, fishing and play park
  • Acclaimed dog-friendly gastropub within 150 metres
Pitch up near the river and launch your canoe with ease at this small, secluded, friendly and well-maintained green site in Cambridgeshire countryside… or dangle a rod into the water for a spot of (free) coarse fishing, or keep a lazy eye on the offspring at the play park while you lounge about in this scenic setting… all up for easy grabs at Willows Park and Marina near Huntingdon and a short stroll from the Great Ouse river. All pitches are on grass, some under the handsome willow trees. Both areas have easy access to the well-maintained and heated bathroom block with toilets, showers, a big disabled-access bathroom, a laundry room and washing-up areas. There's plenty of room around the site and along the river for wanders; if your feet want to take you further, you can hook up with the Ouse Valley Way from Brampton or Huntingdon (or both; The Willows lies between the two). There's more coarse fishing too at the lake 750 metres away, you can hire boats a couple of miles away, and the watersports and events of Grafham Water are within 20 minutes' drive. Barbecues are allowed on site, but you might, sensibly, opt to sup and sip instead at the neighbouring Brampton Mill gastropub by the river a minute's walk away: it's dog-friendly here too.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Site looked very neat, level pitch. Warden was very friendly and met us as we arrived, gave clear directions to our pitch. Toilets and showers were clean and loved the music playing in the background. Site was fairly busy but had no issues with showers etc. The toilets/ showers are closed for cleaning between 10.30 and 11.30, this is clearly stated on the welcome sheet. We use this site regularly for a long weekend and would recommend. Lovely food in the Black Bull but booking is advisable.

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thank you Clive for the amazing review, much appreciated. Lovely to have you both at The Willows and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

From the manager: Thank you for your likes but not sure you should say 'no toilet rolls replaced' as I go in twice a day every day and there are always 2 left in each toilet... Have you every thought they may go walkies so very unfair to say 'not replaced'!

Paul L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Very nice campsite, well managed by Sharon. Close walk to Hinchingbrooke Country Park which was ideal for our dogs. Very close to the popular Brampton Mill Pub and Restaurant which serves good food although not at the lower end of the price range, however a discount can be obtained off food though the campsite.

Disliked: I'm being a bit picky here by saying that the showers just need updating. They were clean but just would benefit by something a little more up to date. Wifi was provided by an external supplier and had to be purchase through them - we kept to 5G.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Paul for a lovely review, much appreciated. An absolute pleasure to have you all here and certainly hope to see you all again at The Willows. Hope you had a safe journey home.

Pia K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Very friendly site manager, very welcoming, nice quiet site next to beautiful surroundings. Good spot for local beauty spots!

Disliked: Toilet closes 10:30-11:30 for cleaning but you need to be off site for 11, so a little inconvenient. Basic standard of showers, could do with a bit of a spruce up, but all functional and well maintained.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Pia for your lovely review and great photos. So pleased you had a great stay with us. I note your point about the toilet closing time but they take an hour to turn around and dry and arrivals come in at from 12 noon so sadly no other time to close them to get them cleaned and ready plus myself showered!! Hope to see you all again soon :-)
