  • Well-maintained, dog-friendly farm campsite in Cambridgeshire fenland
  • Sandringham Estate 40 minutes’ drive; Heacham beach 55 minutes
  • Best of both worlds - In between nature and local amenaties
Found in a quiet corner of the rural Cambridgeshire Fens – close enough to the borders of Lincolnshire and Norfolk for days of adventure in three different counties – Hawthorne Farm Wisbech is a well-maintained and peaceful sort of place, with grass pitches overlooking rolling fields. One of the biggest USPs here is the fact that dogs are welcomed on site with open arms. They are allowed everywhere on the camping fields except the leafy garden around the pond, and they get their own special field for doing the zoomies – but of course, please be sure to clean up after them. Another bonus here is the site’s proximity to local amenities. Yes, it’s tucked into peaceful countryside, but the supermarkets of Wisbech are only 15 minutes’ drive away, there are farm shops for buying up barbecue goodies within 20 minutes, and a decent sprinkling of pubs and restaurants in around the same distance. A third advantage of staying here – this one is weather-dependent, however – is that if the skies are cloudless, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and after dark the Milky Way will dance its way across the heavens. And of course, there are loads of quiet country lanes for bike rides, as well as fenland walks straight from the pitches. However, if you’re keen on exploring far and wide around the Fens, the site owners advise that it’s best to have a car.

Liked: Our second visit to Hawthorn Farm and still can't speak highly enough of this place. Had a nice long weekend 8th to 12th August. Pitched up and chilled out! Brought everything with us so didn't need to leave, except for a day trip to Hunstanton. Superb, clean facilities and massive pitches. Thanks again!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Site is wonderfully remote. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Pitches are flat with EHU, water points and excellent dog exercise field. Facilities are clean, with plenty of hot water. Microwave, toaster and laundry facilities are provided, along with tea towels, spare mugs etc for those of us who are forgetful.

Disliked: The surrounding roads are an experience - take your time. You will need to drive for sightseeing or heading out to eat.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: We loved our visit to Hawthorne Farm. We were greeted on arrival and shown our pitches. The size of the pitches are generous and all on flat ground, the grass was healthy and well-kept. The adjacent field for exercising dogs is great. On site facilities are amazing, everything was immaculately clean and tidy, and showers were hot. Communal fridges, washing machine, drier, and pot washing area is a nice addition to the site, making our stay pleasant and comfortable. We highly recommend this site.

Local attractions

Photogenic Wisbech (15 minutes’ drive) sits on the banks of the River Nene. Have a stroll through the streets and a nose around the daily market, and then take yourselves off to see the Georgian splendour of elegant rooms at the National Trust - Peckover House and Garden. If the weather’s not playing ball with you, take the kids to the climbing walls at Fenrock Climbing Centre or learn about fenland flora and fauna in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum. For more fenland history, make a beeline for Flag Fen Archaeology Park (half an hour), showcasing a 3,500 year-old Bronze Age site and reconstructed round houses. Find out how medieval royalty lived with a visit to striking Castle Rising, and see how our present-day monarch lives with a tour of the grand apartments and gardens at Sandringham Estate (both 40 minutes). If the kids are getting bored with all this cultural stuff, restore good humour at Church Farm - Stow Bardolph (40 minutes), where they can pet the alpacas and ponies. If they’re still not happy? Head for the expansive beach at Heacham (55 minutes) for an ice cream and a bracing stroll along the dunes.
