About the site


Located on a family run farm, this family friendly site is well located for enjoying countryside walks or days out in nearby Cambridge, just a 25 minute drive away. The site is sheltered by trees on all sides, with regular visiting wildlife such as deer, woodpeckers and hares. The site is spacious and level, offering a total of 70 grass pitches. Tents, caravans, motorhomes and RVs are all welcome, with the option of a 10 or 16 amp electric hook up. For those who would rather leave the camping gear at home, the site offers three bell tents. All the tents are off-grid, furnished with a double bed with a memory foam mattress, optional airbeds for kids, and a settee. The best part is that outside, you will have your own table, chairs, fire pit/BBQ, BBQ cooking equipment and a wood-fired hot tub. A starter pack of wood will be provided too. Up to two dogs are allowed per pitch and pet friendly bell tent, so no member of the family is left behind! Evenings can be spent enjoying a BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. Do note, campfires are not permitted. The farm is also home to a wedding venue and caravan storage facility.

Camping and touring is open all year. The bell tents are available from April until November.

A note from the site themselves...

We're a third-generation family farm, based on the edge of the lovely market town of St Ives. We work hard to care for the land using modern farming methods, while also doing our bit to look after the environment.

Our campsite has been part of the farm since 1986, and it's something really special to us. With peaceful countryside all around, it's the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature at its best.
