Date of Visit: July 2021 Unit:  Tent
Nights stayed: 4 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Adamedwardsteather 59 reviews from this member

 A very good site handy for Cambridge.

Negatives:

- Wifi simply nonexistant in the tent field and shower block.

- Motor home parked next to us on one night who talked until 11:15pm and then were up at 06:20 on Sunday morning riding on a bike with squeeky brake around the site! I had words.

- Some traffic noise from the M11 but as this is a continuous noise not a problem. Trains are much less intrusive but you hear them.

Pluses:

- Fab welcome from Mark.

- Hot showers (unlike Sandringham)

- Very very clean.

- Nice to have a camper field with rabbits who are very used to the humans in tents.

Very easy to get into the city via the local cycle routes. I would give this 10/10 if the wifi worked!

Reviewer: Mizy 7 reviews from this member

 Spotlessly clean, flat featureless site.

Caravans rather too close together so no privacy at all and quite noisy.

Wardens very pleasant when they showed us to our spot, due to COVID we didn't interact with them again after that.

We are very unlikely to return.

Reviewer: Georget64 41 reviews from this member

 Due to Covid restrictions facilities were closed. Motorhome service point excellent. I was given a choice of pitches.

Currently the balance to be paid is taken from your bank just before arrival.

Very handy for a regular bus into Cambridge. I did not try the nearby Park and Ride. On my last visit to Cambridge, in a car, they had made car parking free in an attempt to keep cars out of the City, and it was very difficult to find a space, I am not sure what happens to motorhomes.

Gas refills are not available. Staff very helpful.

Site is immaculately maintained.

 Nice friendly reception, guided to our choice of pitch.

Toilets and showers were really spotlessly clean and tidy. Other facility's were very good.

A great site would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Good location for us to visit Cambridge and Newmarket.

And very good price too.

Reviewer: BivvyBoy 42 reviews from this member

 Nice enough for what is essentially an urban/suburban site!

The staff were welcoming and helpful, and we got a nice secluded pitch right at the back of the site.

The facilities were typical Club fare - clean, in pwrking order, and plentiful.

We had been at IWM Duxford all day so this a is maybe 15 mins drive away if you need a camping base for that museum.

Reviewer: Daveco 1 review from this member

 This site is great!

The wardens are outstanding, nothing too much trouble for them, the welcome we received upon arrival was truly more than expected, I know this is The Friendly Club, but it was more than we've received before.

Not wanting to use your car, no problem, bus into Cambridge a five minute walk from the site,

Really quiet, lovely setting and probably the cleanest shower block in the club sites we've found!

Will definitely be returning. Our thanks to all the wardens.

 Really nice site, close to Cambridge and only a five minute walk to the bus stop.

Campsite immaculate and facilities warm and very clean.

Friendly welcome and given a choice of pitches on the day we arrived.

Dog friendly with a short dog walk through the trees, very much recommended.

Reviewer: Davesharon 27 reviews from this member

 We stayed for two nights at this site, it was easily accessible, well signposted and we were greeted by two of the wardens who were very happy to help us.

The campsite was really full but it is a quiet site. The shower was very clean and lovely and hot as were the toilets.

There was plenty of information regarding what was available around the area with bus routes and numbers, the bus into Cambridge was just out on the main road across on the other side.

Shops were also shown on a list so you could see how near they were. We caught the local bus into Cambridge, spent the day, so much to see so we will be returning at some point. As we visited out of season the price was very good.

There were lots of cycle paths but we didn’t have our bikes on this visit.

Reviewer: Lee and Lisa 1 review from this member

 Awesome site, John, Cath and the guys were very helpful and made a real effort. They offered great local knowledge and were a pleasure to talk too.

Very clean and tidy site. Great wash-block and a nice play area for the smalls.

We stayed on a grass pitch with a tent on the back field. Had the family up to explore Cambridge and surrounding areas.

Lovely Pub and chip shop 20mins walk down the road.

20mins bus ride from city center and a Bus ride away from Duxford.

Will definitely come again.

Reviewer: Pebblehead 3 reviews from this member

 I booked this site for its easy access to the IWM Duxford - as I have done many times before.

The site is all you would expect from the C&CC, with great, helpful staff and superb ablutions. I was surprised to see so many more motorhomes but tents are still very welcome.

I had an electric hookup and there’s free WiFi there too. I recommend this site wholeheartedly and look forward to my return.

Reviewer: Jaydreamers 51 reviews from this member

 Stayed a couple of nights stopover on way to Norfolk. Very easy site to find as not far from M11.

Very flat open site and very well maintained.

Toilet block in centre of site very modern and kept very clean.

Wardens were very friendly and helpful gave us a choice of pitches and guided us onto pitch.

Will certainly use again as makes perfect stopover for us. 


Date of Visit: May 2018 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: MrsTepee 2 reviews from this member

 My family and I stayed at this site for 5 nights, May 2018. Finding the site was quite easy.

There are 4-5 speed bumps down the lane on approach to the site and the site has a few more past the gates. I found the speed bumps quite harsh.

The site is secured with gates, and on the entrance gate there is a 4 digit code. These gates are locked from 11pm until 7am.

The site is well maintained and clean. The shower block, also maintained and clean.

Despite my disability and my visitor's disability, they remained strict on the 'one car only' rule, it wasn't for long either, she was just visiting to help me set -up and pack-up. I felt this was unfair given I physically needed her help.

There are a few on-site wardens through-out the night pitched in motorhomes by the reception and gates. The last few nights of our holiday were spoilt from unsupervised 'children' playing at the park, gone 10pm who then woke my baby. They were also vandalising the play equipment. Despite the wardens window being opened, I had to walk across and ask them to intervene when they woke my baby.

Whilst I understand that the family from hell were not the Camp Sites' responsibility, I do take the approach that it is their duty to ensure the camp site remains a nice place to be, rather than a 'thank god we're going home tomorrow'.

Overall, I am happy with the Camp Site, I am not sure as I'd return though.

 Well located site with a nearby bus into Cambridge (No. 7, 25 mins and £2. 80).

Well run with clean, warm, modern shower block. Surrounded by trees and hedges but open fields. Helpful cheery managers. Great value.

Reviewer: PedroPete61 32 reviews from this member

 This is a first class site on the edge of Cambridge Close to the bus route 7 and cycle tracks galore to go each and every way you choose. The city has become expensive so beware and the food shop close to this Waitrose and is expensive, the drinking places that have been upcycled are the same. There is plenty so see and do in this busy place, dog walks and green areas all within easy distance along with Duxford. The refurbished facilities are first class along with the roads and the staff are a great group of people who are ready and willing to help if you require it. So enjoy the play area and enjoy this lovely site.
