What customers say
This neat, welcoming park boasts spacious, flat pitches with top-notch, spotless ablutions, including wet rooms and a washing machine. Visitors love the friendly greeting, helpful staff, and on-site pub grub. It's handy for Ely and Cambridge. Some mention road noise, or occasional shower pressure issues and wind. Management confirms they're fixing shower pressure and gate quirks.

Lovely site with the added bonus…
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely site with the added bonus of an onsite bar and food van at peak times. We booked not realising there was live entertainment on the Saturday night so that was an extra bonus. Loved that we could book a late stay for an additional fee - I wish more campsites offered this option as it's so handy if you are just going away Friday after work for the weekend. Facilities - 3 ladies toilets, 2 toilets and urinal in men's and a seperate disabled shower/toilet. There are then 4 unisex shower cubicles and inside washing up facilities. All spotlessly clean. This was our first stay and is local to us so will definitely be back. Slight hum of traffic in the background but certainly not enough to put you off coming here. They don't have any hardstanding (which would always be our preference) but our grass pitch was level so didn't need to use chocks. There seems to be a lack of sites in this area that are open all year so if they added some hardstanding pitches I'm sure they would get booked up even over the winter. Ely is lovely to visit and site handy for visits to Cambridge as well. All in all an excellent weekend.
Disliked Nothing to dislike - enjoyed our stay.

Anonymous Electric grass tent pitch
Liked The lady who showed us our pitch & the lovely lady serving food (from Melbourne Oz were fabulous). The site where campers on was nice and small with decent size pitches.
Disliked The tent side of the site was packed, next to the road in, & facing the onsite ‘pub’. We asked for a quiet pitch which we were given kindly in the caravan/motorhome section thankfully. I’d not come back though having seen how packed in tents are.
The toilets were clean but the showers really didn’t smell great.
The ‘pub’ was a shed essentially which was nice, but we didn’t feel particularly welcomed by the guy in the bar.

From the manager: Hi thanks for your review some of it makes no sense, all our pitches are 10 meters wide whether it be caravans or tents ,you were given what you wanted but still not happy.
Tanya who saw you in is new this season and is doing very well,the ozzy(Sal) serving the food is doing so well she has extended her visa!
As for the bald man in the shed thats ME, did i not put enough ice in your drink, or maybe i could have done a tap dance for you !!
Enjoy the rest of the season somewhere else
Kind regards T
