What customers say

Nice, quiet, scenic spot with big stands. Friendly vibe, handy for getting around. Campsites are clean, but a bit old-fashioned for some. Lakes and animals are a winner, good fishing too. A few people mentioned permanent residents or messy bits.

Liked Location

Disliked Felt like a traveller site, lots of commercial traffic, toilet block was horrible, not a lot of facilities around a large site. The welcome was almost non existent, think I was interrupting the guy's day. No introduction to the site, just go through the car park and park anywhere you like. Site rules state no commercial vehicles? It's full of them

Karl G.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The toilets were clean.

Disliked We had high hopes for this campsite, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The pitches were incredibly cramped — it felt like we were just squeezed into a caravan field with no space or privacy at all.

To make things worse, the area was full of wasps, making it uncomfortable to sit outside or enjoy any part of the day.

The biggest disappointment was the soft play. It was the main reason we booked this site for our kids, but it was privately hired out during our stay with no mention on the website that you needed to book in advance. Our children were so let down, and we were left trying to find ways to keep them entertained elsewhere.

To top it all off, it was expensive for what we got. Definitely not value for money and sadly, not somewhere we’d return or recommend.

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.
