So welcoming

This was our very first camping trip. We have a two year daughter and were not sure how she would take to sleeping in our camper van. So we chose a site in our own village for the first time. We had never been to the site before and were surprised by what was tucked away on a road we drove down every day. The owners were really friendly and so helpful. Andy helped my husband put the awning up. The assistance was very welcome. I was concerned about the noise my daughter would make if she was unhappy at bed time (which she was) but the pitches are well spaced out and our fellow campers said they didn't hear anything. The owners and fellow campers we really supportive regarding this and it really took the strain off us. The owners even offered the use of their own bath to help keep up her bedtime routine. There is a small building with a toilet, sink and shower which was always spotlessly clean and you needed nothing more because there are only five pitches. There is a second toilet but I didn't use it. There was a hen run and a toy car and mini slide which kept my daughter amused for ages. The view across the field was lovely. Other sites will have a lot to live up to. The village is lovely with two pubs ( I love the Thai food at The Plough) a pretty church a friendly shop or two and a nature reserve to walk around. There are several NT sites within easy reach. There is a good bird reserve at Welney WWT. Ely is walkable but its about four miles to the centre, if you drive parking is free. The cathedral is fantastic even if you don't go in but if you go late (after 4:30/5 ish) they don't charge for entry. If you go to the river there is a lovely walk out beyond the railway line (Littleport direction) Peacocks tea rooms is a must. After all that return to a quiet and relaxing friendly camp site.
