Grass pitches

  • Simple Cambridgeshire farm campsite 15 minutes’ drive from Royston
  • Imperial War Museum Duxford and Cambridge both half an hour’s drive
  • Peaceful grass pitches with hot showers available; 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 peaceful 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 the supermarket at 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. The camping field is off-grid, so remember torches for night-time meanderings, and while the site is level and flat, it can be wet in early winter.

From the manager: I am disgusted by this review!

I was so accommodating for you large group and the help with the booking etc.

I did stop the fire pits because of the extreme heat and tinder dry ground, grass and crops. It would not of been sensible or safe to have fires with sparks going up in the air and I think its arrogance to think you should be having fires.

Your in the countryside and there will be wasps etc around, there are no nests on the site as we monitor this and you never mentioned when asked if any problems.

The shower has no leak, the water in the toilets and surrounding areas was from the mass water fights the children in the group had.

There is a sign up explaining the light not working.

Your group was extremely loud and messy, we had graffiti written on the toilet door, rubbish left and noise way passed the time allowed. I asked you twice up to midnight your first night to keep the noise down.

I am glad you wont be returning!

We had a really wonderful stay and lovely places to explore not far.

Liked Quiet site with views over a field of sheep, reasonably priced for a tent pitch. Nice sized pitch separated by longer grass.

Disliked Facilities weren’t great - only one loo had soap, very low loo roll supplies. Pipe leaking in one of the cubicles, both loos a bit manky, shower was not clean at all. Washing up station was cold water only. I reported the leaking pipe and the contact given said ‘thank you’ but nothing was done about it.

Liked This is a cracking little site not far from Duxford and Cambridge. The pitches are large and well maintained. There are a couple of toilets and a shower. It's quiet and peaceful with just a little bit of noise from the lambs in the next field. Rebecca and Nick are welcoming and friendly. It's dog friendly and campfires are allowed. Will definitely be back.

Liked Lovely large pitches. It's on a farm and in the country so some animal smells. Great to see the sheep and lambs playing. Lots of birds seen overhead. 1 toilet and shower in small unit. It's a small lovely site, very friendly and helpful. We will be back. Lovely Central location.

Liked Quiet flat pitch with plenty of space. Good shower and toilet. Nice views, friendly owner. Just what we needed for a one-night stopover.

Disliked Campsite is alongside a road. Might disturb tents close to the hedge but didn't both us on the other side of the field.
