First time. Not the last.

Just back from 3 days in our motorhome. This site grows on you. It's very tranquil and peaceful with lots of birdlife including the infamous Ollie the Owl. It's about 3/4 mile down the lane to the Water and a 9 mile cycle/walk around with a cafe stop at Perry halfway. Also in Perry is a shop/Post Office which sells large frozen trout ready prepared, from the Water. Beautiful. No public transport contrary to the site details. Pool opens in a July. Overall very relaxing stay. Friendly wardens.

Holiday Bliss

Well we have just returned from 9 blissful days at the Grafham Water CC site. We visited the site 2 years ago & vowed to return for a longer stay as it is one of the most beautiful sites to spend a relaxing holiday on. The area around the site is really worth investigating, with great walks, pretty villages & the serene Grafham Water to visit for a tranquil coffee whilst overlooking the water. The Indian restaurant in the village is definitely worth a visit. The service is exceptional & the food is devine. There is a small community shop around the corner from the site which has the basic of provisions, at reasonable prices. The major supermarkets can be found in Huntingdon which is a 15 min drive away. All in all, the experience at Grafham Water will leave you calm, relaxed and it will be another 'must visit again' addition to your list of Caravan Club sites.

One of our favourite sites now.

What a lovely site, our stay was fantastic from start to finish. We arrived just after 2pm on a Friday for our 5 night stay. We were greeted by friendly staff who obviously enjoy their job and obviously take pride in their site. The site was quite full which doesn't surprise me as it is a gem. We managed to get a nice hard-standing pitch (not serviced). As the site is small you are never far away from the service points or the showers/toilets etc. The facilities (including showers/toilets/bins/washing up area/grounds were immaculate, even last thing at night when they had been in use all day.  We have a large dog who loves his walks so this was very important for us. At the rear of our caravan is the dog walk, which is a track running behind the site by a wheat field. Its not very long but long enough for the boy to do his business. The old camping field had just been mowed to allow people to play ball games or to walk dogs. It was great for us as the boy loves playing with a ball. Couldn't have asked for better.  Grafham Water is a short walk through the wheat field opposite the site. We did this everyday as the boys loves the water. All in all, we couldn't have had a better place to stay with the dog. If you enjoy cycling then make sure you take your bike as there are so many cycle rides nearby. There is a cycle hire place at Grafham Water, but I'm not sure on the cost. The reception sells very little so make sure you get your necessities before you arrive. There are supermarkets in Huntingdon which isn't too far away. The reception will get papers for you too, you just need to give them notice. A fish and chip van visits every Friday evening, but doesn't stay too long, times are displayed at reception. TV reception is very good using your aerial, and there are TV points too so I would say no need to cart your satellite dishes. Not much more to say really, its a brilliant site and we will definitely be back regularly. DON'T FORGET OLLIE THE OWL.

Camping as it should be

This has been our first visit to the site and have just returned home and booked a return visit already. On arrival we were met with the most enthusiastic welcome at reception and were booked in with humour and efficiency. The site itself made me smile just as soon as we drove to the barrier. It just has  charm by the bucket load, I don't know if this is because its quite small but at the same time spacious enough to not feel crammed in. The dog walk to the rear of the the site is great for a quick stroll in the morning and evening, while the larger one is great for exercise and play. However, just a short stroll from the site and you reach Graham Lakes and loads over open space (just be aware of the many cyclists). The shower blocks and dish washing area were immaculate. This site is in my opinion what other sites should strive to match. I really hope that the Caravan Club doesn't plan to increase the number of pitches on the site or indeed convert any more to hard standing. The mix is just about right. Finally, we were treated to a couple of sightings of Ollie the owl, what a magnificent bird, we also witnessed his interaction with some of the residents in the homes next to the park. That on its own was worth the visit. Thanks to the park wardens for making the site what it is. Can't wait to return again.

A little hidden gem!

What a treat to find this site! A wonderful warm and friendly greeting from the wardens who were helpful without being obtrusive. A well maintained, very friendly site where everyone seemed to be enjoying the peace and tranquility and even though it was half term week the kids were well behaved! The shower block was spotless and warm unlike some blocks! The surrounding area was wonderful, with lots to do and see. Our son thoroughly enjoyed the park and the dog walk with amazing views. Oh, and definitely not forgetting seeing the resident owl sitting in the tree watching the gathering of spectators at below! Can't wait to return!

Peacefull site

Just spent 3 nights on this site and loved it very peacefull and secluded. with usual CC facilities all very clean . only problem with location that if you have no car theirs no regular bus service for area but this would not prevent me from returning.Good walking area with lots of easy access walking routes and of course the Grafham Water itself which is very impressive with a good 10 mile circular walk or even cycle.....and finally the OWL

Neat site .

First time at this site just for a quick visit to friends in Cambridge while touring . We had a serviced pitch which was excellent . Facilities very good , wardens excellent too . Peaceful for us because we were away on the first day of the bank holiday . Access to the site is easy with just a short narrow final approach and a couple of easily negotiated narrow sections once off the A14 .Pubs with food in the area are expensive compared to our usual fare and also tend to be faux gastro .http://www.racehorsecatworth.co.uk/ is a pub restaurant to be recommended though . Mine host is a good bloke , parking is easy and it is not too far to drive .

Wow what a site, small, charming, immaculate and fantastically well managed. If it peace and quiet you want with facilities that are second to none then this is well worth a visit. Just stayed for 3 nights over may bank holiday weekend and could not fault this little gem in any way. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the future.

First trip in the new Challenger !

Fantastic little site, easy to find just off the A1. Given the fact that the wardens were only 3 weeks into there first time looking after a site, its was spotlessly clean. In fact i would say it was the cleanest site we have been to in a long time. Very close to Grafham water with lovely walks, this site could become our new favorite! We only stayed the 1 night as we were trying out our new outfit close to home. We used a serviced pitch, as the site was fully booked! A good sign that the site is popular.
