We are making improvements to the facilities block which requires it to be closed between Monday 20 January to Thursday 20 February 2025 inclusive. The site will remain open during the works, offering a non facility/service point only experience (with a 20% price discount to reflect this).
During this time, we will also be making improvements to the pitches opposite the facilities block, which may cause some disruption on site.
Should you wish to select a site with facilities during this time, the nearest alternative is:
- Ashridge Farm Club Campsite (open all year) - 25 miles, 40 minutes by road
- Commons Wood Club Campsite (open all year) - 44 miles, 57 minutes by road
- Ferry Meadows Club Campsite (open all year) - 46 miles, 55 minutes by road
Set in ancient quarry works and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the Cambridge Cherry Hinton Club Campsite has been imaginatively landscaped to create the impression of being in the heart of the countryside while only a 25-minute bus journey to the city centre of beautiful Cambridge.
The campsite gives you easy access to guided walking tours of the nearby medieval colleges where you can enjoy the academic atmosphere that makes the city famous. Wander along or take a punt on the River Cam to see colleges like Corpus Christi, Magdalene and the Bridge of Sighs. A visit to King's College Chapel is a must. If you're feeling a little lazy, open bus tours let you take in the full charm of the city while you relax. For those who like to cycle, the Cambridge Cherry Hinton Club Campsite offers good cycling paths from the site into and around Cambridge. Just opposite the site, you can enjoy a lovely walk around the nature reserve and old chalk pits. If you're feeling peckish, it's only a short stroll to the nearest pub and if you need to stock up on supplies, a supermarket can be found a little further down the road.

Perfect Location
Lovely site and staff couldn't be more helpful on our arrival. The bus isn't too far and goes straight into Cambridge plus the local pub- Robin Hood is good for food. Have re booked to go in December as Cambridge is so nice at Christmas.
