Great site for layover or to simply relax for several days

This was a nice site with clean, modern facilities. Friendly and very helpful wardens, and there was plenty of points for recycling and water, so we never had to venture very far. Given the icy weather, heavy snow, and winds, I was very happy about this particular feature! Even with only having the odd day of non-inclement weather, it was a fantastic stay. The wardens had spread grit and the dog run had two dog waste bins, so our Newfies were able to be walked without bother. The wardens put water out for them and would come out and break the ice for them so they could drink before heading back to the van. Our teens enjoyed walking in the nearby Quarry park with us (dogs permitted, on lead only). There was easy access to the bus and a nearby pub with good meals that wasn't expensive either. As for supermarkets, we were spoilt for choice. Tesco was nearby as well as several Chinese supermarkets, in case we wanted some authentic Asian cuisine. I'd rather like going back to this site during the warmer months and fancy enjoying a good Korean style BBQ one afternoon! Another nice day we visited the nearby American cemetery. It was a beautiful place to visit and if you are ahistory buff, a definite must visit place. The visitor's centre had lots of pictures, interactive exhibits and so on, the caretaker was happy to receive visitors and talk about the site as well, and a walk through the cemetery was quite touching. As it happened, my wife is American and using the free app she downloaded, she did a quick search and located the grave of one relative and the names of two more on the wall of the missing. The pitches were well laid out so you felt very private and no matter where uyou were, you had trees to look at. The electric didn't stutter despite the inclement weather and the wifi connectivity kept our game happy son occupied while were weren't playing board games, out, or watching a film.

white christmas

Well not quite a white xmas but very nearly. Two days after xmas snow arrived at cherry hinton club site. As usual the wardens were cheerful and maintained a safe area around the shower blocks and kept water points from freezing during the day. We have visited this site a few times now and whatever the weather you always get a friendly welcome from wardens Alan and Julia Morris. there is a very good frequent bus service near site into Cambridge and plenty of places to have a meal out. The site is ideal for older members as you can choose to relax on site usually nice and peaceful or hop on the bus into Cambridge or catch one going to the Tesco superstore,alterntively there is a Tesco express store within easy walking distance in the village along with a boots pharmacy and other shops

Let it snow !

We have had many visits to Cherry Hinton club site so know it well. On this occasion we went the weekend it snowed so with three inches of snow on the ground I was a little worried about getting off the pitch, up the slope to the barrier and then the slope as you exit the site. I need not have worried. Grit had been spread on all the slopes by the wardens and in any event help would have been at hand with any difficulty. We arrived on site on the Friday with the site very full, by Monday it was deserted. I wonder why ! Many thanks to the wardens for such good preparations in adverse weather.

Excellent for visiting Cambridge

This site is excellent for visiting Cambridge both if you have your own transport or you are using public transport. The pitches are very well laid out and cleanliness of the site is outstanding. The site is very peaceful.

Good base for visiting Cambridge

Firstly I should mention that we visited this site as a retired couple. So cannot really comment on how good this site is for families. Hence the middle mark of three stars on that particular point. That said, we found the site excellent in almost every other area. The site is excellent for trips into Cambridge with very regular buses on two routes within easy walking distance. The location at Cherry Hinton is easy to find and the access roads are good. The washroom facilities were spotlessly clean with ample hot water and the bonus of central heating. The wardens were friendly and welcoming, whilst the pitches were nicely spaced and very well kept. Nearby are a couple of pubs within easy walking distance and supermarkets about a mile away. There was some noise from the sports fields next door, but nothing too problematic as everything had quietened down at a reasonably early hour. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return again in the future and have already recommended this place to several of our friends who are members of the club.

Very convenient site

First of all I don't know if it was good for families as we were two people in our 70's and didn't see many children. There was road noise and there was noise from a sports field, but not invasive. The weather for our four day visit deteriorated through our stay and we were very grateful for a good clean warm toilet/shower block with always plenty of hot water. An added bonus for us free bus pass people was the bus stop just a little way from the camp site to the Cambridge centre. We enjoyed our stay and should we want to visit the area again, we would definitely use this campsite.

Very god site for Cambridge and surrounds

Three moans first: 1. Peace and quiet was disturbed every night of our stay by footballs being smashed against the wire fencing on the sports facility above the site. The noise went on until 10.00 p.m. every night. 2. The "Caution very hot water" signs in the washing up area told lies; the water was just about hot. 3. The open drain in the washing up area stank really badly when water was released from the sink. That's it for moans, everything else about the site was really good and we will certainly be reurning.

Love it

A really nice site with an unusual layout. The wardens will ask you to walk around first and choose your pitch before lifting the barrier. having now done this I see why, so many dead ends with tucked away pitches. As with all club sites, its a credit to those who maintain it, nice clean shower block/loos and other facilities. There is a little road noise and a school playing field adjacent the site. but neither were an issue. The village is a very short walk from the gate and seems to cater for all that you may need, including a Fish & Chip shop, Chinese and Indian restaurant as well as a pizza place. The site has its own small dog walks but you have the beautiful chalk pits across the road to explore as well as a small nature reserve. the bus service also looked to be very efficient with stops not far from the site entrance. Things to be aware of are : no arrivals before 1 pm. There isn't a lot local to see and do apart from Cambridge which hasn't a lot offer. when leaving on your last day the traffic outside the gate can be backed up in to the village between 8 and 9.30 making a right turn with a caravan very difficult if you want to head for the M11 towards the M25. Will we go back, absolutely, we have already marked it down as a 2 day stop over when we head further up that side of the country next year.

Fantastic break

Visited on the busy August bank holiday weekend. Loved every minute of the break. Great welcome, great wardens, really helpful on the local information I needed and great about sorting out my guests visiting. The site was clean, perfectly kept, and everything I expect from a caravan club site. I got the bus into central Cambridge and it was so easy,
