Grass pitch (No Electric) TENTS ONLY
The campsite was great, camping amongst the wild flowers was lovely and added extra privacy. It’s very spacious and the facilities were clean and well kept. There is a communal fridge/freezer to store food or ice packs. Fire pits provided with each pitch and you can buy a crate of wood for £8. Pizzas were £5 - expected them to be homemade but were supermarket bought and not the best quality. Last check in time is 7pm but booking through the Hipcamp app, there was no mention of this so we got a bit of a telling off when we arrived half an hour late (which was out of our control). Hipcamp need to update the listing. Overall really nice campsite, would highly recommend staying and exploring the area with a walk along the river to Ely.
