Visited Oct 2014. A well sheltered, level spacious site, with tidy cut and collected grass, and well set out facilities. Very friendly owner, this well established site is well placed to explore the area, Cambridge, Newmarket, and Bury St.Edmund's. Nearby are Anglesey Abbey and Ickworth as well as Wicken Fen. Good...

Basic but the price is right.

Signage from North sparse (we overshot the drive) but good from the South. Site clean and tidy, well lit at night. Drinking water and waste point at top of site, bins at bottom. Grass short, level and well drained despite plenty of recent rain. For 12 quid, nothing to grumble... Show more

Quiet and relaxing site.

Lovely site in the village of Fordham.  Friendly welcome by site owner.  Thoroughly recommend food in the White Pheasant, easily within walking or cycling distance and then cycle round to Fordham Woods or visit Wickham Fen.
