Great site for visiting Cambridge

Stayed a few nights in July 2022. Great location for visiting Cambridge. Good bus service and if you have a bicycle take it as there are proper designated cycle lanes on the road into Cambridge. Facilities up to the usual standard. A quirky site lay out due to it possibly being a quarry in the past.

Perfect site for us

We stayed at Cambridge Cherry Hintopn site two weekends ago and found it to be perfect for us as a couple in their 60's. The chalk pits across the road were perfect for walking our dog and the pub being only 250-300 metres away was excellent for meals or a drink. Being so close to Cambridge which can either be walked to or by cathing the bus at the endf of the road was perfect for exploring a vibrant city. We will definately return here in the future.

Absolute fulfilling

We start and End here for our Wales Trip directly from and to Dover and had every time a warm Welcome and a good stay for some Times. Quiet Place to Plan the next Day Trip and friendly Neighbors around us - only the dove irritate early in the morning if they run on our Top and begin extrem Rugugrugu .. :-( But it is, how it is, a lovely Place with a cool old Pup near by site. A place for Children's is here and Dogs are Welcome, too - mostly we see more Dogs as Kids... The Bus Stop outside 4 min. from Camp left or right bring you fast to the next big Town Canterbury or Folkstone and secure back.If you like to drive with Bike to Folkstone there is a Way, too. A small Shop to buy utilities out of Camp is also open for everyone. We found it's a great starting point for some experiences - do it well ! Jochen & Gabriele, Germany

Noisy, cramped poor quality pitches

Our "allocated" pitch was a patch of tarmac. Overseas visitors were given choice of pitches. Told site was full but each evening several good pitches were empty. Very noisy with inconsiderate members talking and drinking late into the night. Some units left noisy dogs outside in cages all night. Won't stay there again. Back to Certificated Locations which offer much better value and "Quality" of stay.

Great site

Stayed for two nights with friends, both in motorhomes. The site is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The wardens should be very proud of themselves. They were so kind and welcoming and went to a lot of trouble to give us adjacent pitches. The whole site is immaculate, location and access to Cambridge is excellent. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

Good site

Stayed 2 nights, great welcome from the wardens. I think there are only 2 wardens but site was clean and well kept. Would like to see a mirror fitted at the exit of the site to aid visibility as you join the main road.

Excellent location and great wardens

Our first stay at Cherry Hinton. Happy to use it again if we are going to this area. Easy access to bus routes into Cambridge, 5 minute walk to the Robin Hood pub, great value meals and friendly service. We had one of the pitches (no. 3) down the ramp on the left as you enter the site. Nice and quiet, no passing vehicles as such and easy access to the facilities block. Wardens Kev and Di do a great job, friendly and chatty - make the stay even better. We are no longer holidaying with children - I suspect may not be ideal for a family holiday but may be wrong. The road outside the site us very busy at some times of the day.

Charming Site

Stayed for 4 nights in June. A lovely site staffed by helpful and cheerful wardens, on the site of an old chalk pit. This helps with the charm as there different levels and areas within the site where the pitches are placed. Facilities were always clean and well kept. Only observation was that the pitches whilst mostly flat, were themselves a little untidy and unkempt, with bald patches of grass and hardstandings quite weedy and tatty. Having said that, everything else was ok. 2 pubs near to site (both had nice gardens for evening drinks), bus service (No 3) to Cambridge every 20m from a stop 10m walk away, Tesco Express in Cherry Hinton, plenty of takeaways that delivered, Tv signal ok, 4g signal ok and wifi good. Had a nice walk into Grantchester from Cambridge, and stopped at the Orchard tea rooms. Lovely setting, food and drink on the side of a high price. Also went to IWM Duxford with MH. If you are into aviation definitely worth a visit. Would I return, yes as the positives far outweigh the negative

Don’t dislike the site, just the prices.

We stay at this site for short visits regularly throughout the year due to it’s proximity to Addenbrookes Hospital. Although we live down on the Kent coast, I have a rare medical condition that is treated by various specialist clinics at Addenbrookes. The site is fine for our needs as there is the quarry over the road for the dog to have a run around (the dog walk on site is only really adequate for very small dogs), a couple of nearby pubs with beer gardens if the weather is nice and various takeaways nearby if we don’t feel like cooking. Of course the main reason most people visit is it’s proximity to Cambridge. The state of pitches and facilities which some describe as ‘tired’ may be so but are fine for our short visits. What we find hardest to swallow is the price of this site. We stayed for one night about a week ago and had to pay £37.80p for our van and 2 people. I have another appointment in July which will no doubt be a similar high price but also one in December when by some miracle the price has dropped to £26.20p for 2 people and the van per night. I don’t understand the justification for these variations in price throughout the year. The pitch is the same, the facilities are the same, if anything we will use more electricity in the winter as it’s dark earlier and cold yet it’s considerably cheaper than the summer. The only and obvious reason I can come up with is to grab as much money as they can at the times of year when most people want to be out and about then when it’s quiet they have to reduce or else they would be empty. I don’t have a problem with sites that accept non members doing this to them but as the rest of us pay an annual fee, I think this should be for us to be able to pay a reasonable price all year round. Nearly £40 per night for a square of grass, a few litres of water and a few £’s of electric is not in my opinion reasonable but we are unfortunately stuck with it. Add on the price of the fuel these days and suddenly what should be a cheap short break isn’t.

Don't go down a slope to a pitch

Nothing wrong with the site except we did not realise it wasnt on a level and we ended up going down a slope to a pitch where there was hardly any sun due to the trees and the depth of the area where we were. It was actually quite depressing seeing the sun above. Sorry but not for us as we like a bit of sun to sit out in
