 Loved this site from the get go. If it wasn't for the satnav I'd have missed the entrance; it's tucked away. Fabulously clean facilities:toilet block (the whole area takes any disability completely into account) and washing sinks. Great little shop for very basic needs. Grass beautifully kept. Very close to the town centre possibly could walk it if like a good long walk but I would bus or cycle it; cambridge is cycle friendly so bikes would come in very useful if you don't want to use car. There is a small amount of traffic noise because it's so close to civilisation which I didn't notice till the 2nd day. You can't be this close without some slight noise. The grounds make you feel very secluded though. Great children's play area in the middle of one of the 3 fields. The wardens are extremely happy to help and found them very welcoming. If you want a fantastic and peaceful site in which to visit Cambridge that is pristine then this is an amazing choice. We will definitely come again.

Excellent site. Easy to cycle into Cambridge. First time in Cambridge -must recommend to go punting (in a boat of 12 -you don't have to punt yourself!) on the River Cam. That was so beautiful and the history of the colleges so interesting. We bought a combined ticket for the open top bus as well. Also, we went to Duxford War Museum which was excelent and just a few miles down the road from the site. We ate at Zaras Indian restaurant just down the road which was good.

Been meaning to try this site for sometime now, and so wish we'd been a lot sooner!
The site is reasonably flat and our grass pitch was more than firm enough. The facilities are, as we've come to expect from C&CC sites, impeccably clean and of sufficient number that we never noticed any queues.
Our pitch was probably about as close to the playground as is possible to get, which suited us and gave our daughter lots of freedom to go play as and when she liked, along with plenty of space for her to cycle in while we could keep an eye on her.
We only ventured off the site once during our stay, and that was to the local garden centre, less than 5 min drive down the road.
Considering this site is within a few minutes drive of the M11, you'd never know it once on site.

We spent a week at this campsite, taking our new rescue dog for her first trip away.
The site is situated 150 yards from the Cambridge boundary marker, travelling south. It is mainly a rural setting. It was just having an upgrade completed but this didn't impact on our enjoyment. About a mile away is a large Park and Ride that takes you into the middle of Cambridge at a very reasonable price. It drops you off literally around the corner from a City Sightseeing tour bus stop, which was a good way to get an introduction to the city.
The site itself is one of the largest we have visited and is, to all intense and purpose, completely level. There is even a separate field, mainly for tents, both with or without electric hook-ups and it's own water supply. There was also an area for ball games.
It is not far from the railway station but far away for it not to be intrusive. There is also an airport fairly near but it isn't very busy. A stream runs adjacent to the site but it is very slow flowing and mostly covered in weed.
It has all the usual facilities with everything you need.
The toilet blocks were immaculate with plenty of hot water. There is a small shop on site with other, local shops nearby. There is also a dog walk with fields nearby where you can also take your dog. The site's staff are magnificent. When a tree on the dog walk was damaged by high winds I reported it and by the time we had finished the walk it had already been removed.
On the Sunday somebody was out shooting in the adjacent fields and our tent, and the other one in the field, were peppered with shotgun pellets. I reported it to the office and they came out to try to find the culprit and called the police.
Overall and excellent place to stay. Quiet excluded, excellent facilities and welcoming hosts. The only downside was Cambridge itself - crowded and very 'dog unfriendly'. We would definitely consider returning here, although we would probably steer clear of the City of Cambridge!

On arrival like others, I missed the site entrance as it's not marked as a CCC site, just a brown highways authority sign so do look out for the turning as to turn round and get back to the site is not the easiest. The short narrow approach road to the site has 3 quite high speed humps and even at v. Low speed (just moving) my Passat still grounds even when not towing.
As for the site, well there has been quite a lot of upgrading going on which did mean quite a long trek to empty the toilet cassete out but was only a minor inconvenience and will be obviated once all the work is finished. We didn't quite understand the waste disposal arrangements with a multitude of different coloured bins and these were all at the site entrance with no information to guide you. The site is well kept and the toilet and shower block is 1st class. The site is fairly quiet though depending on wind direction, there was a little distant road/railway noise. The site is well placed for Cambridge with a no. 7 bus (outside the site) for the city centre (35min) or the Park and Ride at Trumpington (1. 8 miles) and costs a £1 to park and you have to put your vehicle reg. No on yor ticket (keypad on machine). The site is very close to Addenbrookes Hospital and there is a health centre quite close by should you have the requirement to see a Dr.
The staff were friendly and helpful though perhaps a little too much so explaining to us with a tourer what to do when emptying waste from a motorhome at the wet waste disposal point.
We will use this good site again and with some attention to detail, the site will get excellent ratings.

A wonderful site with excellent facilities and a extremely helpful staff. Our pitch was fairly close to reception and we loved watching the cheerful fellows on their bikes leading every new arrival to their pitch. I think this is possibly the best 'on arrival customer service' that we have come across. Well done once again to the camping and caravanning club for the high standards on their sites.

I booked this site at the last minute to take my two teenage boys to the IWM at Duxford, and I have to be honest all four of us fell in love with this site.
Staff were nothing but very helpful, pitches were large well spaced, and well maintained. The toilet block, albeit a bit of a walk was 100%.
A well placed site for visiting Duxford and Cambridge, large supermarket round the corner, I have to be honest I cannot fault this site.
I big thank you to all those who run this site, we had a great stay, and have already started recommending you to all our fellow campers.

Stayed for 3 nights on one of the hottest weekends of the year.
On arrival, entry is via a narrow private road off a main road and I overshot it the first time. Private road has speed humps which ground out my low slung motorcycle trailer so line up in the centre of the road where they have been chamfered lower.
The site is basically a large, tree lined, square with a children's play area in the centre, and a triangular 'Rally field' which is entered at the 3 o'clock position from the main field. During the first 2 nights of our stay a large contingent of noisy french kids were camped in there so I would avoid if you want the quiet life.
We were shown to an unserviced pitch at 5 o'clock position in the main field, backed against the trees which was fine. All pitches are flat. Facilities and staff all that you would expect of a C&CC site. On one side of the main field, 9 o'clock position, there is a building site, which creates some dust and noise during the week, which we heard some moans about. That side mainly had caravans on so I assume they were serviced pitches. Worth keeping in mind.
Visited Cambridge, via the Trumpington P&Ride - £2. 60 pp rtn, on the second day. Lovely City but you will be outnumbered by foreign tourists 10-1!
Third day spent at Duxford Air Museum. Didn't fit it all in during our 5 hour visit (foot sore after the day before) but well recommended. Just be aware that it's £17. 50 each for adults, so for two of us, plus a guide book, and some refreshments we did over £60 without trying!
In all, I would recommend the site to anyone. Just take into consideration the above when selecting/booking your pitch.

Very nice site
Staff were brilliant at helping us with a last minute booking when we were let down by another site. They could not have been more helpful
Facilities are excellent, especially the showers.
Only let down was the person who took the towel our son left in the shower-if he or she needs a matching one was from Sainsburys!
Very good value for money
We enjoyed the wildlife on the site. We saw a small deer and bats as well as rabbits. A nice haven close to the city

Nice site convenient for Cambridge via park & ride bus service, also very close to Addenbrookes hospital if visiting.
A supermarket 5 mins by car and 2 or 3 pubs similar distance.
Was quiet at weekend (no real noise) but fairly busy.
Bit pricey but probably due to the location.
There is a lot of new homes building nearby but wasn't any noise during the weekend however our neighbours had been there all week and complained about the dust making their caravan filthy!
Very friendly welcome and helpful staff.
Would visit again.

We have been members of the Camping and Caravan Club for 11 years and camp many times from May to September each year. We never book as Camping is a spontaneous and touring activity and we tour extensively, having visited sites from John ‘O’ Groats to Lands end (Literally). We previously visited Cambridge seven years ago.
Upon arrival we were greeted with the news that one of the boilers had broken so they weren’t sure if we could stay?! The staff were very friendly and we met Tracy again which was nice. She had helped us with our tent at Oldbury Hill a couple of years ago.
Fortunately we were allowed to book in and found a sheltered flat pitch in the Rally field.
The facilities at the site are some of the best the club offers. Separate washrooms, 4 showers of which 3 are roomy. The washing up area lets the site down as there are only 3 sinks and the space is cramped if more than 3 people try to work in the area. The facilities are centrally located so easily accessed from all over the site.
The annoying thing about the site is that you have to open and close a barrier when entering and leaving. The site is pretty remote so security is not a serious problem so the barrier could be left open during the day surely!
Overall one of the better sites – we will be back!

Been here 6 times now (good location for Cambridge centre) park and ride just up the road.
Bus stop opposite site also.
CCC site as expected, all good.
The toilets and shower blocks were clean and perfectly adequate.
friendly staff and well stocked little shop on site.
Highly recommend the square and compass pub for meals
Only a mile or so up the road. (+ 10% discount if your a camper)
If you get the chance have a look in the Scott polar Arctic research Institute museum

Had read a few dodgy reviews about this site so was slightly nervous when we booking it. However, we needn't have worried. Would we recommend it and go back again. Yes.
The good stuff. Very easy to access from the motorway. Large Flat pitches. Very easy access to Cambridge (about 4 miles away I think) by bus or bike. You can either catch the bus by the site or walk about 15 mins to the park and ride (the buses are cheaper, quicker and more frequent from the p&r).
The toilets and shower blocks were clean and perfectly adequate.
Not so good. Certainly no huge issues. No clear lit paths to the shower block so you'll need a torch to avoid other peoples cables and guy ropes. It did get busy first thing and they we're closed from 11. 30 till 1pm. And yes the lady in reception should get a refund from the charm school.
But certainly no deal breakers or massive problems. Enjoyed our 2 night stay

This is an excellent site for many reasons! I would happily return here on my next visit to Cambridge.
The site is large (3 fields), open (no dividing hedges between pitches) and an well maintained (clean facilities, recently painted buildings, good signage). There is a centrally located playground for younger children which looks new and well maintained. The office holds some essential supplies, but Waitrose is just down the road so nobody needs to go hungry.
We arrived before noon and the friendly, welcoming wardens lets us pull onto the site and wait for the camper van on our allocated hardstanding pitch to leave. (They didn't go until 12:30. Why do people do that?)
No problems with the 16 Amp electrics. Our new caravan is kitted up with all the latest power happy equipment: electric hob, microwave, TV, hot water, blown air heating.
The site is very easy to find from the M11 motorway. The excellent signage on the approach road means that you couldn't miss the entrance from either direction, and I am well known in my family for doing the 'Fly-By'!
Site fees are very reasonable. I was happy to pay the £25/night for a large hardstanding pitch (16 Amp), during high season.
Any areas for improvement. The Camping and Caravan Club could consider upgrading the toilet/shower block. It was spotlessly clean, but it looks a bit dated and the lack of heating will make it uncomfortable to use for most of the year.

This site is one of the best we have stayed in.
My party had 3 tents, two were 5 man and one was a 4 man. We were given a choice of pitches and even following the necessary 6 metre distance, we were able to have them pitched in a group and not in a neat line, like some places expect.
They had wet weather the week before we arrived, but our pitches were dry. The large hedge kept any wind away, so it was well sheltered area. The weather was hot and being able to rent ice blocks for our cooler boxes was a godsend.
The staff were friendly, helpful, polite and a font of knowledge, if needed.
The location is good for getting into Cambridge, with a bus stop just past the top of the site, with buses every 20 mins.
The shop has all the bits and pieces you need and the prices are good.
There is a large Waitrose supermarket about 1/2 mile away, very handy.
The toilet block is very clean and although there are only 4 showers, there are lots of separate cubicles with sinks, so we rarely had to wait to shower. The great positive is, the showers are free, nearly everywhere else we have stopped at, you pay 20-50p.
