 This is a wonderful site. It boasts all the usual facilities that you would expect of the Camping and Caravan Club.
The site itself is made of of two fields, the first being the larger of the two. They are fairly open so none ot that borders around your pitch business.
One toilet block, spotlessly clean and modern - very warm too !
Whilst this site is situated near to housing, there isn't any amenities withing walking distance - so if you fancy a pint - you'll have to take the car.
The main benefit of this site is that it is just around the corner from the excellant park and ride service for Cambridge, which is fantastic.
Furthermore the road network by this site makes it ideal for exploreing the local countryside.
We have been back twice since this visit - it is a fantastic site.

Well given the heavy rain of late there was a little standing water in places on the site, but not too bad, our front drive car managed without getting stuck.
Clean toilets & showers, although closed between 1030 & noon, not ideal for that last shower before the drive home. Not much in the way of play area for the kids, just a couple of swings and a slide, but centrally located in the main field for keeping an eye on them.
Nice wooded dog walk, again a little muddy given the rain. Waitrose supermarket nearby and easy access to the cambridge one way system (once in there you may never get out). Easy access from main roads and the entry road is signposted too.
Friendly staff and not much of a shop but fairly priced (40p for a pint of milk) and stocks calor (perhaps other gas too)

Arrived Bank Holiday Monday in awful weather. The site was quite water logged but the wardens very helpful and helped us pick an ideal spot - not too far from the on-site facilities.
Showers and Toilet block were clean but cold - no heating. There was plenty of hot water but had to queue for the showers on a morning as there were only three, but didn't have this problem if used a night. Laundry facilities where fine, had to use the tumble drier, 20p for 6 minutes, a couple of times.
The park and ride was excellent into Cambridge, £4 return for 2 adults and 2 children.
This site was ideal for us visiting family in the area so would use again.

We stayed 3 nights here, and were shown to our pitch which was in the second field. The field was lovely and flat, and there was loads of space for the tent, car and kitchen tent it did not feel at all crowded. Plenty of space for ball games and kite flying in this field, and there was a small play area in the first field which is nice but really small.
The showers and toilets are bright and clean (no spiders), there was a queue for the showers once, and queues for the washing up facilities, but you could avoid both of those with careful timing! Plenty of hot water and they are free. The laundry facilities were also good.
The campsite owners were lovely, friendly and helpful.
After very heavy and continuous rainfall the first field did have some quite waterlogged areas, but the weather was exceptionally bad, the further field that we stayed in was fine.
The Waitrose is very near, there is a park and ride into Cambridge near by too, and there is also a cinema and bowling complex with restaurants 15 minutes away if the weather is really too miserable to stay in a tent.
Train noise is noticeable, but we didn't find it a problem - it's not so loud that it would wake you up or stop you sleeping, and you do not have to raise your voice to speak over it when it passes by.
We would be happy to return here.

We were a little concerned about visiting this site with two young children after reading previous comments about train noise. We are very pleased to say that we were not affected by this at all during our stay, the site is lovely and flat, easy to pitch on and well laid out. We were about half way up the site (just close enough to the nice play area) so wandered down to the bottom to see how noisy the trains were, yes you could hear them a tiny bit but we really don't think they would disturb most people.
The toilets and showers were, as you would expect from a Camping and Caravanning Club site, clean and plentiful.
The nearest big supermarket that we found was Waitrose which is quite expensive so try to take as much as poss with you. There was a nice chip shop (not the one towards Cambridge) which the site recommended but we can't remember the name.
We would visit here again, a lovely relaxing weekend.

On our 4th Year of visiting the site as a family, we stay on the Duxford Air Show weekends i would like to say a huge huge thankyou to the site manager and assistants.
Travelled down on the friday with my dad and 3 kids, on the saturday morning my father took real sick, panicked a little myself but i sent my son of 13 over to the managers for help.
The staff on this site are very compitent in their job lovely people who asked everyday about my father whom was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
We will visit again and it did rain heavy that weekend but the water drained fast within hours.
Best Wishes to all the staff at cabbage moor and the friendly people who asked about my father, he is now recovering well at home.
Regards and see you all next year

We have just returned from this site, and were a little hesitant about going, given the horrendous weather we have endured this summer! Having read reviews about this site on this website, I was rather concerned about the seven underground springs that flood when it rains. Imagine the surprise of the warden when I mentioned it to her - she denied all knowledge of such springs. It is a lovely little site, given we went in the middle of August it was very quiet. The planes and the trains were hardly heard, and although it did rain quite considerably, the site never flooded. We will definately be visiting again. Ideal spot if visiting the Duxford Air show and Norfolk Lavender.

Nice clean and tidy site. There is a small park on site for the children to play on. About a mile away is a Park and ride bus stop which is really good for getting into Cambridge. Next to it is also a Waitrose for getting provisions. Also not far from the site is the pretty village of Grantchester with three great pubs. One was terrific for adults with children,another play area Red Lion.
Also from here you can walk along the river Cam into Cambridge.
Yes would definately recommend this site but can imagine it being busy in summer. It did not seem that big.

Whit weekend 2004
What a lovely site, plenty of room even though it was fully booked. Lovely cycle routes into Cambridge, especially the one from Grantchester along the river, weather was very good.
Waitrose just up the road within cycling distance, all roads have cycle lanes. Cambridge is very cycle friendly, did'nt have to use the car at all, plenty of places to eat.
Site is nice and flat, would highly recommend this site.

Just got back from a couple of nights at this site. The site managers were very helpful but strict on the 6 meter spacing rule. It was not very busy at the time so this was not a problem but perhaps could be when busy and the managers not about.
I did not have a problem with aircraft or train noise but there is a constant noise from the major roads nearby. The so called shop is more of an office so make sure you get your supplies before you visit.
My reason for visiting was the air museum and this site is ideal for that. I would go again.

This site is located on the outskirts of Cambridge in the village of Great Shelford. However, even armed with a map it is easy to go straight past the narrow access road, which is shared with several residential properties and looks like any suburban drive. Within easy reach of the A10, A14 and M11, this site is an ideal base for Cambridge, Duxford (Imperial War Museum) and the surrounding areas.
This is a Camping and Caravanning Club site, which means to unfamiliar folks like me that non-members have to pay an additional per-night pitch fee of £4.30 as well as a sum per adult per night. But I was doing this trip solo so the cost was an awful lot less than a B&B or hotel.
The wardens were very welcoming and friendly, guiding me to my designated pitch as well as pointing out the facilities. The site is quite large and, even in July, was busy but not crowded. There is a small shop on-site, but it caters mainly for essentials and carries only a small range of goods.
The site is mainly level and enclosed by tall trees. There are seven underground springs beneath the site, which has a tendency to flood if the weather is bad!
The toilet/shower block is well maintained and very clean. There is also a dishwashing area and laundry facilities, maintained to the same high standards.
What the guide books don't tell you is that this site is close to a main railway line and right under the flightpath for Cambridge airport. Light aircraft do pass directly overhead on their descent to the airport, and long freight trains pass by in the middle of the night.

We set off for Cambridge CCC site Friday afternoon - got as far as junction 8 on the M11 and blew a fuse, so nothing on the dashboard was working! Not
an auspicious start....
Got the folding camper set up Friday night but decided we'd leave the awning till Saturday - got up Saturday to find it was pretty windy so chickened out of chasing the canvas around the site!
Saturday night it rained hard all night and we woke up Sunday morning to find a lake outside the bedroom window where previously there had been grass. The people in the trailer tent next to us were not so lucky - the lake extended inside their tent, although fortunately not into their sleeping quarters. They decided to admit defeat and went home a day early - at least it stopped raining long enough to enable them to pack the tent dry.
Sunday evening we managed to get the awning up with assistance from a fellow camper with similar awning, it being our first attempt - Needless to say the
poles and canvas we had bore no relation to that depicted in the instruction manual, I think it was describing a previous version or something..... We hadn't realised just how large the awning was going to be - felt like we could hold a barn dance in it!
Bank Holiday Monday broke with tradition - warm and sunny!! WOW! I gather other areas weren't so lucky, however.
Tuesday morning also warm and sunny but poured again in the afternoon, refilling the lake which had just started to shrink!
The weather was kind to us on Wednesday too - we got everything packed up in the dry. All in all we had a good break and enjoyed ourselves.
