  • 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 a pub on site called The Humble Pig (open from Tuesday to Sunday) which has a lovely terrace to sit on and treat yourself 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. This park is a prime spot for pet owners too, 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. Entertainment is scheduled throughout June, July and August.

Liked Lovely little campsite, had a small on site pub with live music on the Saturday night and a food van which sold lovely wraps. Really clean facilities and staff very helpful. Small site but the other campers were chatty too!

Disliked Bit remote but that's more a personal preference.

Liked The site is very well maintained with large level pitches. The loos and showers were very clean. the food from the food truck was delicious and the band that was on that night was good. There is a bus stop nearby with buses to Ely. Nice vibe with friendly staff and campers.

Disliked A little bit of road noise first thing but nothing major.

Liked Grounds were very well kept, the grass kept short. Nice food van and small bar to sit outside. Staff friendly and check in very quick. Toilets and shower blocks clean. Free entertainment was on in the marquee.

Disliked Showers, the water was cold then hot, then cold then hot, stayed on eco as recommended but just never stayed consistently hot.

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.
