Wonderful atmosphere

We have just had 10 days on this site which was perfectly maintained, could not be faulted. The wash block was amazingly clean and the grounds were immaculate. The wardens were the most friendly that we have encountered on any site and have lots of local knowledge. They have created a wonderful atmosphere on this gem of a site. There is a rental cottage on the site in a lovely old building and sadly the tenant seems to leave its dog home alone all day and it howls early in the morning. Our pitch was 100m away and we could hear it clearly. We will certainly return to this site.

Best kept site we have been to

Grafham Water campsite is above a small village, on a small lane but well sign posted. the site is 61 pitches and the toilet shower block is extremely well look after. They are spacious, the water pressure is amazing and the showers are capable of very hot water. There is a laundry room with big industrial machines. The grounds are well kept and the grass is neatly trimmed. This site is a lovely quiet site with dark skies. There is a lovely dog walk from the site, with plenty of walks close by. The playground is good but slightly small. The site doesn’t have a shop but there is a well stocked village community shop about 1/4 mile from the campsite.The Pizza man came on Friday and Sunday evening, and the Indian in the village does takeaway. The staff on site are very helpful and kind, thank you for working so hard.

First time but we will be back

4 days early Sept. This was our first visit to this site and I have got to say what a lovely welcoming site it is. I was a little dubious when travelling towards the site entrance as the roadway is very narrow but no issues. On arrival we were greeted by the wardens who even took the time to show us the available pitches and point out the sunny ones 😊 We opted for a grassed pitch which was well maintained as were all the facilities. We had a fabulous time as we managed to drop on the mini heatwave, The site was immaculate a proper example of what a CAMC should be like. Then only thing that I found was that there were no bins at the service points, you had to carry your rubbish to the site entrance where large 'Biffa' style bins were kept, not really a problem but a little confusing when you are stood looking around for them. Other than that a very nice site that we will be visiting again.

Pleasant site

A pleasant site with everything up to the usual club high standard. Slightly disappointed that we were told we could not drive our motorhome onto the pitch but must reverse up to the marker "as we like uniformity". First time we have come across this in five years. Hope this is not a new club policy. We like the choice depending on the position and condition of the pitch.

Becoming one of our 'go to' sites

About 2 hours drive from home this is one of a very short list of sites we will squirt out to for a couple of nights, it is lovely in so many respects. The wardens on duty for our stay were the same relief wardens as on our last visit. Lovely people and welcoming....just how a club should be, sadly some other sites are not so well blessed. Grafham Water is a fabulous reservoir, cycling, walking, dog walking, fishing whatever. We have just got back from another couple of nights and whilst the site was full there was no pressure everything was taken in its stride. The facilities were spotless. We visited the community shop in the village for the first time, a useful place if you need buy essentials. The weather was positively Mediterranean, edging 30 degrees, which was an unexpected bonus. Recommended.

Peaceful stay

I stayed for 6 nights in my motorhome at the end of August. A lovely friendly welcome at reception where I was advised a pitch had been reserved for me due to the length of my motorhome, but was also given the choice of another empty pitch too. The site is lovely and clean with an abundance of large containers of beautiful flowers…the sunflowers were huge at well over 10ft tall. I didn’t use the facilities so can’t comment on those. The site is perfectly placed for walks or cycle rides around Grafham Water and local lanes and tracks. One of the highlights of my week was seeing Ollie, the North American Horn Eared owl, what a beauty. I would most definitely visit this site again. Thank you to the wardens and all the hard work they do.

Peaceful 2 night stay - great for dogs!

Myself, spouse and cockapoo fancied a short (local-ish) campervan break over the August BH weekend and thanks to the C&MH website’s late availability function we secured a non-serviced pitch at Grafham. I always think a camping site experience is influenced 75% by the site/its owners and 25% by your fellow guests. I’m glad to say neither could be faulted on our trip. The site itself is relatively small, pitches are level (-ish, I did see one van with levelling blocks) and there’s a good choice of either shaded or open pitches depending on your preference. Cleanliness and neatness throughout was exemplary. Dog (or non-dog) walking starts from the site boundary with lovely treks either toward the reservoir or into the local countryside. Note Grafham Water Reservoir itself is still a fair schlep so those with mobility or accessibility concerns may be best served by driving the couple of miles to the visitor centre. Grafham village has a community pub (note limited opening days/hours) and shop but not much else so best to arrive fully stocked for your stay. The Indian takeaway is a brisk 10 min walk and definitely worthy of a visit. However if you’re after a few days of flatland cycling/walking (and even lake swimming, available in a small area of the reservoir) then I would heartily recommend this site for a peaceful and friendly stop.

Lovely Site

Stayed for two nights here. All facilities were spotlessly clean and the site is well maintained. We enjoyed a meal at the Indian restaurant in the village.
