Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Warm welcome by owner Sarah. The site is very peaceful, well kept, with clean toilets and a shower. The pitches have superb views over open “big sky” countryside, with bird life and planes from Duxford to watch. On clear nights the dark sky provided a chance to view the stars and satellites overhead. It was very peaceful during our stay and other users of the campsite were friendly and considerate. The site felt secure with an electric gate to the farm entrance for which Sarah will lend you a remote opener (on payment of a deposit) if you are coming and going frequently. The nearby Red Cow pub had a good selection of beers and serves food although we didn’t eat there. We really enjoyed our stay.

Liked: Beautiful site, well kept with two toilets and shower. What made it exceptional was the lovely warm welcome from Sarah. A fabulous weekend. Grateful thanks to Ollie who gave us a lift to Audley End. A smashing young man and we wish him all the best at Oxford and his future career.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: A true gem of a campsite! Arrived to a lovely warm welcome from Sarah. Fabulous level and spacious field with spectacular views. The shower and toilet facilities were a bonus and kept beautifully clean and the site felt very safe and secure. Perfect location for visiting Audley End House for a Heritage Live event. Had a delicious meal in the Red Cow which is roughly a 20 minute walk from the site. Would definitely visit again and explore more in the area.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: What an unexpectedly beautiful and delightfully simple campsite! We only stayed for one night, in the area visiting family, but it was perfect for our needs. The site has an amazing view north towards (and past) Cambridge - who'd have thought somewhere like this existed in Essex! The facilities are very simple but all you need. No hook up but if you have solar you're ok. Absolutely silent at night, only a handful of other campers there. Pitch where you like, but loads of space given a limit on numbers. Bliss.

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

If you’re even remotely interested in aviation history, you’re bound to end up at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (10 minutes’ drive), where you can sit in a Vulcan cockpit, tour the aircraft hangars and maybe treat yourself to a flight in an iconic Spitfire from WWII. Being so convenient for the M11, you’re in pole position for trips to the lovely university town of Cambridge (30 minutes). Spend the day pretending to be a student (how hard can that be?); take a punting trip along the Backs, and have a nose around the gorgeous King’s and Jesus colleges. Take a look at the art treasures in Fitzwilliam Museum, and when you’ve had enough culture, slope off to a pub for a crafty snifter. To get out and about in the fresh air, look no further than the formal plantings and woodlands walks in Capability Brown-designed parkland at Audley End House and Gardens, while the trails in RSPB Fowlmere bird sanctuary are hotspots for spotting kingfishers and warblers flitting around in the reeds.
