Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Rjb1960 5 reviews from this member

 Spent 3 nights here in our trailer tent with EHU with friends who were in a tent. We managed to get a late departure and didn't have to leave the site until 4 oclock, which was great as we had brilliant weather. We stayed end of July beginning of August.

Good size pitches we had our own water tap on the pitch which was great. Excellent spotless toilet/shower block. Three large shower/toilet/wash basin cubicles as well as other single shower cubicles. No queuing at any time.

Two freezers in a large washing up/information room with lots of leaflets. Four small fishing lakes with loads of small roach, perch and the odd bream, a few carp, we only saw two just into double figures come out all weekend.

Pub was few hundred yards away in the marina, food was ok and had two meals for eleven pounds offer on, cheap enough.

Papers can be ordered from reception

Friendly welcome nice peaceful site. Huge garden centre opposite the site well worth a visit.

Would recommend and will return.

Reviewer: Cottage 2 reviews from this member

 My husband and I and elderly dog have just spent five nights at Wyton Lakes and had a wonderful time. As other reviewers have said the site itself is absolutely beautiful with not only the fishing lakes but a private stretch alongside the River Ouse. The site is well maintained and the toilets clean and smelling beautiful. If any slight critism - and it is slight - the showers were a tad on the hot side for us but then again the weather was pretty hot too. The good side to the showers is that they are intermittent so gives you time to 'soap up' without water washing you down straight away. Husband says the washing up facilities were great!

We had a pitch right next to one of the lakes and it was a pleasure to wake up to the birds singing and then with our early morning cuppa watching the ducks and other birds. We originally chose the site because it was 'adults only' and it really proved to be a haven of peace and quiet. The garden centre opposite is well worth a visit - the variety of shops and goods is remarkable and we were able to buy a shrub we had been looking for at home but not able to get - so we have a lasting memory of Wyton Lakes in our own garden.

Finally, what to say about the surrounding villages and area - just breathtaking again so peaceful and beautiful. We cant wait to come back again. Many thanks to Sheila and John on reception - they were very helpful to us when we arrived and helped us put the caravan into position. Gill and David Richardson

Reviewer: LTYLER 5 reviews from this member

 Even though I wasn't sure about returning to this park I decided to give it one more try as my wife loves the area. Unfortunately the fishing is as bad as before if not worse, the only good point this time is the additional showers and even these were closed off over the weekend we were there. The very helpful Wardens are still there and they do there best to provide the answers to any question we might have. They recommended the Carvery Dinner at the Garden Centre and for £5. 99 this is excellent. Would I go back again - only when the owners have re-stocked the lakes.

 Although not a fisherman have to agree with all complimentary remarks about this site, would even go as far as to say its one of the best sites I've been on in terms of peacefulness, scenery and clean toilets/showers.

Had a nice pitch right by the lake and it was a pleasure to just sit there, plenty of birdlife about in the form of Reed warbler, Green woodpecker, Common tern etc.

The pub down the road still does two meals for a tenner as well as a couple of real ales to wash it down with. There is a frequent bus service(55) to either Huntingdon or St Ives and even goes as far as Cambridge, bus stop by Hartford Mill.

Paid £16/night for two with ehu and own water point.

 We have just returned from a weekend stay at Wyton Lakes.

The wardens were very friendly and helpful with information about the site and the local area (giving us directions to the nearest fishing tackle shop which were spot on).

The site was very quiet and peaceful, even though the majority of pitches were taken. The toilet block was alway clean, and there was never a queue for the showers or toilets. The dishwash room was spacious with 4 sinks, and another sink just for handwashing of clothes. There were also 2 freezers for ice blocks.

The fishing on the lakes was very good (or so I'm told by the other half!) with several big fish being caught over the weekend.

The marina is a couple of minutes walk from the site, with a good pub offering 2 for £10 meals which were very good quality. The garden centre over the road is also worth a visit, it offers much more than just plants with pets, clothing, homewares, crafts and a good size 'food court'.

The site is also a 5 min drive to a 24hr Tesco and Cineworld cinema.

Every other guest I spoke to had been to the site many times before and I can see why - we will definitely be returning in the future.

Reviewer: Rogerlorna 4 reviews from this member

 After a 3 year absence from this site we came back to a vastly different site.

What an improvement all credit to Louise and Pete

The toilet shower and dishwashing have been improved, the lakes altered for the better.

The only gripe was that the showers were chained off presumabably to save cleaning this made it a little difficult to have a shower at peak times.

I would recommend this site to anybody especially fishermen.

We have tried several sites in this area but this is one of the best.

The area is really beautiful with Houghton Mill nearby this is a must see for visitors as is the Axe And Compass in nearby Hemingfords Abbott

Reviewer: freckles63 85 reviews from this member

 Just back today 3rd June, from a Monday - Friday break in half term, adults only so very quiet, especially in the mornings which was lovely.

3 Large fishing lakes with the pitches set around them and the River at the far end of the site, no pitches near the river though.

Shower/toilet block clean and tidy and never had to wait, only moan would be the shower heads sent the water everywhere other than the body parts!

Hartford marina just a short stroll up the road, left out of the site, had a good chain pub that did 2 meals for £10 and had a lovely outlook across the water.

We cycled into Wyton/Houghton village a few times, less than 10 mins and had a drink at both pubs 'The 3 jolly Buthchers' has a garden so long it reaches the river and 'The 3 Horseshoes' which if you sit out front has lovely late sunshine and you can watch out over the square, Houghton Mill is just around the corner also the Lock is here, if you cross the lock and take the long path across the fields you come to Hemmingford Abbots where the 'Axe and compass' pub is. If you take the Thicket rd at the right side of The 3 Horseshoes this will lead you to a lovely 2mile walk/cycle into St Ives.

The site is on a very fast busy road but worth crossing to get to the large garden centre store that has just about everything there from food to clothes and camping gear, really much more than just plants and well worth a browse.

The site didn't seem even half full and most of the people were there for the fishing, we had a good quiet time in school holidays and the weather was great.

Reviewer: Kellog 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Wyton Lakes on the'Royal Wedding' weekend and had a fabulous time! This is an adults only site and it is recommended for a quiet weekend getaway! As previously mentioned it was Wills and Kate's big day and the site was decorated in it's fair share of bunting and Union Jacks which was lovely to see!

Check in is very easy with the lady warden cycling along in front of you to guide you to your pitch,a very personalised service! This was actually our second visit to Wyton Lakes so we knew what to expect.

Our pitch was right next to one of the fishing lakes (even though we don't fish) so it was a lovely view! We had our 2 Jack russells with us and there is a lovely dog walk along the river with benches alongside to stop and rest and watch the boat's from the Hartington Marina (next door) pass by.

The facilities on site are very clean with a wash up area and a freezer for ice packs (or ice cubes for those g and t's!) free to use which is handy if you were tenting. There is also basic camping item's available at reception such as rock pegs (the hard standings are VERY hard!)

Just opposite there is the Huntingdon Garden Centre (with a Starbucks!) to wander around on a Sunday morning this has a bit of a farm shop type area with lot's of nice foodie items.

On the Monday we found out there was a Bank Holiday Market in St Ives (about 5 miles away) apparently it is held every Bank Holiday-and is definitely worth a visit!

All in all we would recommend Wyton Lakes to anyone who wanted a getaway from it all weekend break! Just do it!

Reviewer: Alf Smith 2 reviews from this member

 A pleasant adults only site in a great location,toilet and shower blocks were always clean and tidy and warm,

The three fishing lakes looked good but only one seemed to be producing fish while we were there, the strip of river front also looked quite good.

This is a dog friendly site with a good dog walk around the campsite,

Friendly owners and staff,

There is a very large garden centre just opposite the entrance and a Brewers Fayre within walking distance at the marina.

 We have stayed at Wyton Lakes at least 6 times since starting our camping life with a tent then a caravan now were waiting for the new season to begin so we can stay in our motor home. We've always enjoyed this site its friendly, clean, and pleasantly situated on the banks of the River Ouse. The facilities are always kept clean and heated and although we do not fish its lovely to sit and relax around the lakes and watch the world go by.

Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: TracyNGary 2 reviews from this member

 We visited Wyton Lakes on August bank holiday weekend, first impressions were pretty good, the staff were friendly and the amenities were clean and the place to freeze ice blocks in the wash up area was very handy, also when the toilets were closed for cleaning they had one open unlike some we have visited (although can get queues at times).

The 'riverside walk' was a tad disappointing though as this is highlighted as something better, which in fact if you blink you miss it, however, what little that was there was nice.

The Marina next door served nice meals and were good value too, where a steak meal was only about £6 and cooked to perfection, though cheap food was made up by the drink prices, we'll learn next time and share a nice chardonnay before we go ;)

All in all a great weekend despite the weather being rather windy but that's camping for you.

Reviewer: Uncletatty 4 reviews from this member

 I have to confess to this being a favourite site of mine and we have visited on more than one occasion. This is maybe something to do with the fact that it is adults only. Now I have no problem with children, but as Mrs Tatty is a member of the teaching profession, she is very pleased to be as far away from them as possible during leisure time.

The park is located directly opposite the Huntingdon Garden Centre and initial impressions are very favourable, with the neatness and tidiness of the surroundings. As the name suggests, the pitches are surrounded by lakes which is ideal for the anglers among us. In fact many of the pitches actually back onto the water, which gives the opportunity to fish right next to your unit should you so desire. The river Great Ouse backs onto the site giving an alternative form of fishing if required.

The only downside to the site (in my humble opinion) is the lack of grass pitches with the majority being hard standing. This may be a distinct bonus to many people, but our preference is for grass (much enjoyed by the Tatty hound I must add). There is a separate area for campers (tents etc), which again backs straight on to one of the lakes.

The toilet and shower block cannot be faulted in any way and everything on the site is compact and easy to find.

A well run, very friendly site and highly recommended for a visit.

Reviewer: Icepuffin 3 reviews from this member

 The site is clean and tidy and you don't feel crowded in, some have a lake side option so that you can fish right by your pitch.I was surprised at the number of people staying that were not fishing, the weekend was busy with a number of tents in groups.

The fishing is hard, in 3 days I only had 1 fish, albeit a PB for me. Whilst I don't want to be pulling fish out every couple of minutes it could do with some re-stocking and then it would be a superb venue.

Showers clean and tidy, owners very pleasant. Being adult only was a big bonus for us as we visited another site nearby and that was just chaotic.

I would certainly return again, but this time take more bait.

Reviewer: BAGH 1 review from this member

 I must disagree with the review from LTYLER. My brother-in-law and I were almost put off after reading this review but in the end decided to try it. We both caught fish every day. My best carp was 15lbs while Mark landed a georgeous 14lbs 4oz Ghost Carp. We booked from Saturday to Tuesday but because the fishing was so good we stayed until Thursday. I caught my best Bream 5lb4oz and best Tench at 4lb. Between us we landed over 30 fish but we only managed to land about 1 in 3 of the carp we hooked so the lakes are certainly not understocked. Neither of us could be described as highly skilled anglers, or experienced caravanners, but we do think about what is happening and adapt to the conditions. This approach certainly paid dividends at Wyton Lakes.

The general site facilities are very clean, in good repair and in the process of being extended. The conditions around the park are excellent in all aspects. We found the wardens very good and their advice helped us greatly to have an excellent fishing and camping experience.

 This was our second visit to this adults only site Wyton Lakes, the first being a year earlier we were made very welcome upon our arrival (which is always a good start) by the acting management couple, as the owners were away.

I have to say that our initial impression of the site was that it was visibly neater than our previous visit, all verges were neatly cut and no litter of any type, which also gives a plus point for the many fisherfolk who make up a large part of the clientèle. The fresh look also applies to the toilet and shower facilities which were spotlessly clean smelt fresh and were toastie warm and hot water at all times.

As mentioned earlier because (I presume) of the number of deep pits on the site, it's adults only which makes this a very peaceful site, just make sure you don't forget half your fishing tackle but if like me you do however 'Petzone' in St Ives has a stock of tackle and bait and I believe there is a large tackle shop in Godmanchester.

There is a charming pub in in Houghton a short but dangerous cycle ride away with a post office and general store opposite.

Wyton lakes will suite most people who like to be close to nature and do not need a disco on site with the River Ouse bordering the site you cannot help but relax, its cheaper than the CC site in Houghton and IMHO a much nicer layout and yes I am a CC member.
