Liked: Lovely location. Very nice and quiet. Good facilities. Although reception wasn’t open, and we didn’t know where to go once on site, it is well signposted and we were able to speak to someone on the mobile number provided.

Liked: The sunsets
Disliked: Poor customer service, absolutely no communication before arrival about how to access site. Reception closed throughout stay, never saw any staff, tried to report an injury my son sustained but no answer on reception phone number. The campsite is obviously a complete after thought. £30 is extortionate for what it is. Facilities are new but below par for the price. Tried to contact owners before posting this review for them to make an effort to rectify out concerns but heard nothing. Don't waste your money on this site.

Liked: Lovely open space, not regimented like some sites, hot showers! Would be great to add some hardstanding pitches, we would then return in the wetter, winter months!
Disliked: The road in! It's very bumpy, not the campsites fault, but for anyone booking, go slow!

Liked: Peaceful place, lovely small fishing lakes surrounding all pitches. Good amount of toilets and showers but would be good to add mirrors and a chair in the wooden bathroom unit. Only one bathroom had a mirror and when taking shower in small bathroom nowhere to put your stuff, except tiny hanger. Would be lovely to have option to move firepit or have them closer to the tent area. Other than that we were very happy with our stay 😊

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Showers and toilets modern and clean. Beautiful views over the fens, with the little trains chugging back and forth. Massive pitches.
Disliked: Washing up facilities insufficient for number of plots. Expensive for fairly basic facilities. Not peaceful: large groups of multiple families over several pitches going loud into the night every night.

Liked: Everything was just perfect here, sunsets beautiful and we saw a shooting star, peaceful, nice dog walking area, fire pits provided all over and wood and coal sold on site. The owner and staff were absolutely so helpful too. Thank you head fen.
