  • 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.

Hawthorne Farm is lauded for its peaceful, remote setting with stunning views. Pitches are spacious, level, and neat. It's very dog-friendly, boasting a dedicated field. Facilities, incl. hot showers & a well-equipped kitchen/laundry, are always clean & work well. Owners are often called friendly & helpful. While driving is needed for shops/sightseeing due to its rural spot, guests love its relaxed vibe & tranquil atmosphere.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Another fab stay here, camping field lovely and flat and well maintained. Showers, toilets and kitchen facilities all excellent and clean. Dogs loved the dog field once again. Great place to watch the eclipse from and also the Persiod meteor shower due to the fact that there was no light pollution. Can thoroughly recommend. Good variety of wildlife in the area, was fab to watch the bats at night and also hear the owls and foxes.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Absolute hidden gem! It was very quiet and peaceful. Facilities were perfect and clean. The dog field was amazing too for our fury friends. As 2 adults and 4 pups we couldn't have asked for better. Pitch sizes were massive. As others mentioned road in was abit bumpy but slow and steady and it was fine. Staff super friendly. Can't wait to return. Oh and the views on a night were 😍 GORGEOUS!

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Vicci B. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had the best couple of days away. Our first ever camping trip and Roy was the perfect host. Spent time talking to us on arrival and made us feel very welcome

The amenities were brilliant. Clean and tidy. Fridges, freezer, kettle, microwave and toaster available. And a washing machine and tumble dryer. Dog poo bins stocked with poop bags. Nice touch especially with kids around.

Huge area for the kids to run around the grounds are so clean and tidy.

Lovely and quiet too. Couldn’t have asked for more for our first trip.

We’ll definitely visit again.

Disliked The only thing that was a slight inconvenience was the roads in. Single track for the last mile or so and lots of potholes. Not the owners fault and with a slow drive in, not an issue

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing Hawthorne Farm for your first camping trip, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We thank you for taking the time to leave us a review as it is very important to us that our visitors provide us valuable feedback

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.
