  • Well-maintained and gated park in a peaceful rural village
  • A 10-minute drive to Ely, 35 to Newmarket and 40 to Cambridge
  • Pub on site with trampoline; dog-walking track right across the road
Ease yourself into East Anglia by booking a pitch at Slade Paddock, a well-located and secure gated site in Witcham that is also part of a working farm. Splendid for ramblers and cyclists alike, there is an on-site pub called The Humble Pig (open from Tuesday to Sunday) with a lovely terrace where guests can sit and treat themselves to a drink. During high season, live music is held in the marquee on Saturday evenings, and on Friday and Saturday evenings, The Jolly Trotter food van provides delicious homemade food on site. Entertainment, scheduled throughout June, July and August, is totally free and popular with members of the public too. This park is a prime spot for pet owners, with a dog-walking track right across the road for guests bringing their four-legged pals along. History buffs are sorted here too thanks to a bus service that stops just off the local green and whisks you to the stately sights of Cambridge within an hour. Barbecues are allowed on the spacious open grounds too if you’re keen to rustle up alfresco food. Rather order local grub at a restaurant when evening rolls around? If you fancy dining out, eateries are a 15-minute drive away in Ely, which is also home to top local attractions like Oliver Cromwell’s House. Modern facilities at this Cambridgeshire park include four wetrooms with showers, two washing-up areas, and a toilet that's accessible for people with disabilities.

What customers say

This well-kept spot gets high marks for its roomy, level sites & super clean facilities, especially the wet rooms. Staff are always friendly & welcoming. The on-site pub & food truck are hits, often with live music weekends. Good for exploring Ely, it's a popular choice for a relaxing getaway. Some road noise & limited midweek food options noted.

Liked Brilliant for dog owners with 3 lovely big dog fields. Nice farm shop 2 miles away and good access for Ely and Denny Abbey. Facilities small but very clean. Nice and quiet site while we were there.

Disliked Could get a bit windy in bad weather.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for review. I don't believe that our facilities are small for the size of the site - we have 5 large wetrooms and adequate toilets and urinals and have never had this mentioned.
Unfortunately we are unable to predict weather and the fens being so flat we sometimes do get the winds. Sal and Trev

Local attractions

Ely (15 minutes’ drive) has endless activities to keep you entertained: head to this town to roam around the cracking cathedral and stained-glass museum before leaping onto a Liberty Belle Cruises boat at Ship Lane to bob along the Great Ouse river. Fancy a flutter? Newmarket (35 minutes) is known for being the birthplace of horse racing, so it’s a must-visit spot for equestrian types. Peer at the high-tech displays in Palace House’s National Horseracing Museum, timing your visit to the town just right to catch a fixture at the renowned racecourse afterwards. If you’re hot on history, you’ll want to amble around Anglesey Abbey (35 minutes) and admire the artworks before covering some of the 98 acres of grounds during a stroll. Wander to Wimpole Hall (40 minutes) later on, stopping to fawn over the farm animals that live here, then eye up the aviation displays – an old Concorde plane included – at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (40 minutes). Many of East Anglia’s other absorbing attractions are in Cambridge (40 minutes): think a series of stunning colleges, fab art galleries like the Fitzwilliam Museum and pleasant punting on the River Cam.
