Dog-friendly Cambridgeshire site with 12 acres of meadowland and lakes
A 25-minute drive from Cambridge and 35 minutes to Ely; access to A14
Carp and coarse fishing lakes; restaurant and kids' centre

What will you reel in first? With carp and coarse fishing on site, and the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside, it could be a big catch or a haul of memorabilia… or photos of otters and swans at local nature reserves or all the family in front of a mighty cathedral. Set over 12 acres of meadowland and with two small mature fishing lakes on site, Crystal Lakes Caravan Park is a secluded family-friendly and dog-friendly site that's still within reach of a couple of urban areas: it's 10 minutes’ drive from Huntingdon and 25 minutes from Cambridge, with easy access to the A14. Eggs sunny side up or burgers by the bun? Find whichever option gets your tummy rumbling 10 minutes’ walk away in Fenstanton village centre, which has a butcher, two general stores, bakery and newsagent. There are also shops selling fresh garden produce and free-range eggs, an excellent fish and chip shop and a village pub. If you need to work up an appetite for all that food, hit the nearby cycle paths or public footpaths (there are over 600 miles of public footpaths around, as well as the RSPB reserve at Fen Drayton Lakes). Facilities back at base include spacious toilets and showers and hand basins, all supplied with free hot and cold water. Kids can play games, run about on the recreation field or sign up for various antics at the activity centre on site (entry charge applies as this is run by a different company). And of course fishing will surely keep you busy… there’s a small daily charge for that, with carp, tench, pike, bream and others to hook out of the two lakes.

Liked: The location was brilliant for exploring the local area. The site was quiet
The toilets were adequate and clean

Disliked: We couldn't find anywhere to put our rubbish. Eventually after we asked we found it in the adjoining soft play area. There didn't appear to be a bin for recycling
People feeding the grey lag geese with large chunks of bread which caused them to gather near caravans and leave a lot of mess behind

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Nice spacious pitch.
Site looks well maintained.

Disliked: The shower block was OK. Although the toilets & sinks etc were clean it did not look like the tiles (which seemed fairly new) or floor were ever cleaned. There were lots of light bulbs not working which meant some toilet and shower cubicles were quite dark. Shower fittings were loose and there was no uniformity in the shower cubicles. (One had a table, another an old chair).
On arrival, someone showed us to our pitch and that was it. No explanation where anything was.

Liked: We went camping with our friends who are also a couple, liked the area, tidy and nice lakes.

Disliked: Think if it had better facilities, bar/shop could be a really great site but no complaints for what we came for.

Local attractions

Martini or tonic? Pick your poison at the Roundwood Distillery (20 minutes’ drive), where gin is the speciality. Beforehand, line your stomach with goodies sourced from the local market town, Huntington (10 minutes). Welcome to cathedral city… Ely (half an hour) is known as much for its rosy-cheeked gin as it is for its sky-high cathedral and stained glass museum. The cities are pretty imposing here, as Cambridge (25 minutes) is full of learning… master the art of punting on the river Cam or eye up modern art at the museums. Switch modern artefacts for jumbo jets at Britain’s largest aviation museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford (25 minutes). Then, bring things back down to earth at Houghton Mill (15 minutes), a National Trust site with tea rooms, canoeing and cycling at the final remaining mill on the river Ouse. Less for canoeing and more for wildlife spotting, RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes (10 minutes) harbours more waterways, frequented by otters, geese, ducks and swans.
