  • Simple Cambridgeshire working farm site 15 minutes’ drive from Royston
  • Imperial War Museum Duxford and Cambridge both half an hour’s drive
  • Dog-friendly with spacious, level grass pitches; livestock on site
Prefer somewhere off the beaten track? The camping field at Eastgate Farm may only be 15 minutes’ drive from Royston and half an hour from Cambridge, but both places seem far, far away from this back-to-basics spot. Just a handful of level grass pitches are available on the small farm site, with no-frills facilities stretching to a shower and toilet, washing-up sink, water fill-up and waste disposal.   Barbecues are permitted on the camping field (you’ll need to bring all the gear with you), and you can stock up on groceries in small supermarkets in Bassingbourn (five minutes’ drive) or do larger shops in Royston. If you’d rather have a complete break from cooking, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, or you could make a night of it in Cambridge restaurants. A few practicalities now: as this is a rural working farm with livestock, please expect the sights, sounds and smells of a farm, and while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads when you’re on site. While the ground is level and flat, it can get wet in late autumn. There is occasional traffic noise too, but rarely at night.

Peaceful, basic farm site, great value. Large pitches, friendly hosts. Simple but clean facilities. Rural views with animals a plus. Occasional road noise. Perfect for a quiet, no-frills escape.

Liked Peaceful site, plenty of space. Sarah couldn't do enough for us and made sure we had a great stay.

Disliked First impressions aren't good, but once you get on the pitch it's great.

Liked Sarah, who manages the place, was the sweetest and kindest lady. I cycled there and had a late check in and Sarah was very patient with my questions before and during my stay. She also made sure to check in with me during my stay to make sure that I’m doing OK. She also told me where to buy groceries in the surrounding areas. The place was nice as well and the two toilets were clean at all time, and the washing up area too. Highly recommend.

Local attractions

There’s masses to pique the interest of plane buffs in these parts; you could start with the range of vintage aircraft, fighter planes, naval helicopters and stealth bombers at IWM Duxford (half an hour’s drive).

If that’s not up your street, tour the neoclassical mansion at National Trust - Wimpole Estate (15 minutes), or check out the Jacobean architecture and Capability Brown-designed gardens at Audley End House and Gardens (35 minutes). And of course Cambridge (half an hour) is known for fabulous art at the Fitzwilliam Museum and contemporary Kettle’s Yard, and you can also explore spectacular colleges like medieval Peterhouse and Tudor-era Kings. If the kids would rather be running around outdoors, treat them to paintballing challenges at the Apocalypse Paintball and Airsoft activity centre (10 minutes), where you can also play laser tag and bubble football. Animal-lovers can meet red pandas and big cats at Shepreth Wildlife Park (15 minutes), or watch raptor displays and cuddle alpacas at Herrings Green Activity Farm and Bird of Prey Centre (35 minutes).
