Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The view was wonderful

Disliked: Longish walk to the 2 toilets and 1 shower. I had to wait for the shower as someone else was using it, (and there were only 4 pitches in use), and when I got in, the hot water ran out after 3-4 minutes (maybe because the person before used it and it didn’t have enough time to reheat?), so had to finish rinsing my hair (and body) under cold water - not the preparation for the funeral I was attending that I wanted, but thank goodness it was mild weather! Expensive compared to other sites I use that have better facilities (but it was the best location for where I was going). Also, there are no washing up facilities at all (I asked).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you were disappointed with your stay We sell ourselves as an almost wild campsite With basic but clean and well maintained toilets and a shower ,these are placed at the entrance to the field for plumbing reasons and we felt no one would want to sleep next to a toilet block ! Everyone seems to manage the short walk we have had disabled people stay and after explaining where they were they were perfectly happy with them . We don’t push the fact we have a shower as there is only one,and we put it in mainly for cyclists As most people only stay a couple of nights or have their own facilities This is also why we don’t have a washing up block .Most campers bring a washing up bowl which is ideal as We are trying to save water in East anglia We have no other facilities and don’t pretend to People come to us to get away and relax and enjoy the views and peace and quiet

Excellent site, would recommend!

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: The warm welcome we received and the beautiful location. The views are brilliant, the campsite is very peaceful and quiet! It’s a wonderful place.

Disliked: Perhaps the fact that there was only 1 shower. I felt rushed because there was a queue in spite of the fact that there were only 3 vans and a small tent on the site. Also I could not find a bin for our garbage so we had to take it with us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry about the bin We had moved one of them As the dustbin truck was coming that morning to empty them , you would have driven past them on your way out.There was other bins available for recycling We only have one shower as it is a small site and it’s mainly there for people in tents who cycle or walk .We have found most vans have their own showers . Our site is a small low key one , and as you experienced there to have a peaceful relaxing experience.And enjoy the views .

Great site, clean and staff were nice, good pitches

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: Loved surroundings, quietness and was clean and tidy.

Disliked: Noisy gathering on the end pitch was a little concerned about. They did quite down and then was lovely. They did have dogs loose on lead and caused a little tension as ours were tied up and approached. We had to say something to resolve this.

Local attractions

If you’re even remotely interested in aviation history, you’re bound to end up at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (10 minutes’ drive), where you can sit in a Vulcan cockpit, tour the aircraft hangars and maybe treat yourself to a flight in an iconic Spitfire from WWII. Being so convenient for the M11, you’re in pole position for trips to the lovely university town of Cambridge (30 minutes). Spend the day pretending to be a student (how hard can that be?); take a punting trip along the Backs, and have a nose around the gorgeous King’s and Jesus colleges. Take a look at the art treasures in Fitzwilliam Museum, and when you’ve had enough culture, slope off to a pub for a crafty snifter. To get out and about in the fresh air, look no further than the formal plantings and woodlands walks in Capability Brown-designed parkland at Audley End House and Gardens, while the trails in RSPB Fowlmere bird sanctuary are hotspots for spotting kingfishers and warblers flitting around in the reeds.
