Tucked away in a quiet, leafy setting near Cambridge, this small family-run campsite offers a peaceful retreat with a picturesque pond where ducks and moorhens add natural charm. The owners are consistently praised for being exceptionally friendly, helpful, and full of local recommendations for pubs, walks, and attractions. The location is convenient for exploring Cambridge, Duxford’s Imperial War Museum, Shepreth Wildlife Park, Audley End House, and Stansted Airport, with easy access from the A10 and M11. Several pubs and a well-regarded coffee shop are within walking distance, and a 15-minute walk across fields leads to Shepreth railway station for quick train rides into Cambridge. Pitches are level and spacious, suitable for campervans, though some may require extra-long electric hookup cables and can feel close together when the site is busy. The serene environment remains tranquil despite some traffic noise from the nearby main road, which most guests find not overly disturbing. However, the sanitary facilities are housed in basic portacabins—they are kept clean but are repeatedly described as tired, small, cramped, and in need of a major upgrade. Showers have hot water and decent pressure once the controls are mastered, but cubicles are tight and the blocks lack proper lighting. There is no greywater disposal point for campervans, no dedicated children’s play area, no WiFi (though plans are in place to install it), and only cash or bank transfer payments are accepted. The site is difficult to find at night due to poor signage, and exiting onto the A10 can be challenging during busy traffic. Guests feel the nightly rate is a bit high compared to the current state of facilities, but many consider it good value given the location and friendly atmosphere. Ongoing renovation work means the site can sometimes feel like a building site, but the owners communicate openly about planned upgrades—including a new luxury toilet block. The lake is currently unfenced, requiring caution for pets and small children, and there is no secure locking, which may concern solo travelers. Overall, it is an ideal base for exploring the area, whether for a short overnight stop or a longer stay, with clear potential for improvement.
