Sadly our experience this time was appalling! Over £52 for one night to be parked next to thick muddy puddles and churned up grass! Extortionate prices for a dreadful pitch so we clearly cannot recommend. On check in we were told it was the only pitch left.. yet we saw empty pitches dotted around. Shouldn't be allowed to charge such rates or offer pitches in such bad condition.
Lovely stay
Nice cheeky one night stay. Friendly couple who were very welcoming and helpful as only our 2nd stay on a camc as we normally stay on CLS :) will be back for sure ! Thanks both!
Not the best of conditions.
Stayed on site for 5 nights from 29th February. Pitch allocated on arrival due to poor ground conditions with a large number of pitches out of commission. Wardens were friendly and efficient. Some grass areas were badly scared where vehicles had been driven across to access hard standing pitches. Improvements are apparently planned to upgrade some hard standing pitches meanwhile the wardens will have their work cut out to make good the damage to some areas of grass. Used own facilities so can’t comment on toilet/shower block.
Site location good for the attractions of Cambridge and surrounding areas - Ely Cathedral, Anglesey Abbey, Wimpole Hall and Imperial War Museum Duxford all interesting places to visit.
Well worth a stay
This was our first time at Cherry Hinton, and I have to say we were impressed. Good location for Cambridge by bus, and surrounding attractions. The facilities, including toilets, showers and washing up area are spotless. The site is set out in a variety of small, individual areas which give it a very private feel. Hosts were very helpful and said that there are plans to upgrade a number of pitches and the tent area over the next 12 months as planning as now been approved (eg for more hardstanding and less grass areas prone to rain and weather). Ideal for dog walking nearby, and local pubs within walking distance. Nearby road and school playing fields did not impact on our stay. We will be back in December for some festive spirit in Cambridge.

Excellent!
We have visited before and returned for our new year break. Excellent friendly staff, peaceful campsite in easy walking distance to dog and child friendly pubs. Also easy use of the bus into Cambridge. Shoutout to the Salisbury Arms a short bus ride away, good beers, pizza and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this campsite.
Fantastic site
Stayed here last weekend.
This has to be one of the cleanest and well kept sites we have stayed on.
Exceptional cleanliness everywhere.
Ideal location for getting into Cambridge with a choice of bus stops at the end of the road.
Two goid pubs close by were an added bonus.
A Great Location to Visit Cambridge
The Cherry Hinton site is an ideal location for a day trip into Cambridge. We drove to the nearby Park & Ride (10 minutes) and took advantage of the bus service. £3.50 return into the city and that included the parking. There is a height restriction, so be aware if you have a motorhome.
Lovely site
We stayed here as a base to visit Shepreth Wildlife Park, and also the city: It's a lovely site and I really like the fact that it's divided up into little sub-sites, so even when there are loads of people coming and going, no part of the site has much through traffic.
Although the Cambridge Folk Festival was happening really close by, we heard nothing!
One tip - if you fancy a punt ride during your stay, book in advance and get the earliest booking you can, the river is much quieter at the start of the day.

great stop over and friendly wardens
Stayed for 3 nights to use as a base for a show at Newmarket. site is set out well and felt safe with the little ones to play on their bikes and outside the van. Nice walk in to cherry Hinton and found a nice little bakery and a park along the way. Having access to a toddler room to bath/shower our toddler was a real bonus meaning both of us could take him rather then one or the other having to go in to the mens or ladies blocks.

Travellers Invasion.
Great site, good location peaceful. Site staff friendly but stressed due to recent travellers invasions on numerous occasions. At time of visit contractors were installing bollards to stop travellers invading and parking on late night bays near reception. This is at great cost to the club and will be added to site fees eventually. We witnessed travellers crashing Infront of club members at entry barriers. To get access without paying. Balliffs were called in to evict them which took a week to get them off. Cambridge police won't attend it's a civil matter - get a grip police you might have to attend if club member's take the law into their own hands !!.
Otherwise site and staff both excellent.
