CAMC Members only 5-pitch site
Date of Visit: March 2025
This is an adults only, 5-pitch site for Caravan Club and Motorhome members only. Access is straightforward, if a little bumpy for the last mile or so – typical of fen countryside. Please see arrival video HERE. The site is situated to the rear of a business – not an issue regarding noise or traffic. During opening hours there is one key-coded security gate – out of hours, there are two. Security felt really good here.
The site has hedging all round which offers a good amount of privacy but does not detract from the flatlands of the fens and views are very far.
At night, there is a virtual blackout and it is possible to participate in some star gazing. You will need to bring a torch as a result.
Facilities
The site has 5 hard standing pitches, each has shared use of a water tap, plus your own EHU – 16A, included in pitch fee.
There is a small information hut by which there is the CDP, grey water disposal point and waste and recycling bins by the entrance to field.
There is free on-site WiFi which is very strong and allows for streaming without issue, although we were the only ones on site for the duration of our stay.
Mobile phone coverage with EE is 5G and a very good signal.
Review of Site Pitch
The whole site is level and each pitch is similarly level, no ramps were required. The width of the pitch will accommodate a caravan and awning, cars will need to be parked at the front of the van. The pitches are very clean and well looked after, grass is kept very well too.
The site is dog friendly and the grass area to the front of the pitches is ideal for exercising your best friend. Care may be required with smaller dogs as regards the fence size.
As is the case with many sites in and around this area, you are close to a number of RAF airfields and as a result, they are all subjected to some aircraft training noise. This is mainly in the day but can be quite loud at times.
Around and about
The nearest petrol station, Shell is at Guyhirn about a 5 minute drive from the site on the A47 There is a small service station store attached for the very basics. There are all the main large supermarkets in and around the town of Wisbech including a Lidl and Aldi. Fuel wise, prices are cheaper at the supermarkets and away from the A47, the main road in the area. The Tesco on the outskirts of March was one of the most competitive.
There is no public bus stop within walking distance of the site.
Nearest train station is in March with onward connections to the Midlands and London via Cambridge.
There are a good number of places to visit, being close to the borders of Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. The main towns in the near area are, Peterborough
March, Wisbech. www.visitlincolnshire.co.uk ; www.visitcambridgeshirefens.org.uk ;
Slightly further afield are Chatteris and Whittlesey.
A good trip out is to Castle Rising – there is an entrance fee, it is dog friendly, and there is a small souvenir shop at the entrance. Free car parking with toilets is to one side of the Castle. www.castlerising.org.uk
Afterwards, it is highly recommended that you visit the Castle Rising Tea Rooms down in the village – delicious meals, cakes, teas and coffees – if it is a lovely warm day, (as it was when we visited), you can sit outside in the front garden. It is dog friendly too. There are toilets and you can sit inside – the door entrance is quite small so it may be a tight fit to get a wheelchair in, we did not try to do so.
The nearest and highly recommended fish and chip shop is in Wisbech, a 15 minute drive along the back roads – SAT NAV is very helpful for navigating around here. Jolly Fryer Fish & Chips. A traditional fish and chip shop with a small sit in restaurant to the side. Parking is available on the road outside or in the adjacent Asda car park – also handy for stocking up.
We also visited the nearest local pub – very much for the local community, dogs and children are allowed. A small offering of snacks is available and a couple of local beers – Elgoods. The Bell, Murrow – a five minute car ride from the site. Football is shown and is obviously a big draw. Very friendly and welcoming to people from away, reasonably priced too but check opening hours.
Summary
A lovely site in the middle of the Cambridgeshire fens, excellent quality facilities and a well maintained good value site. Security is very good but you do need a car or bikes, the latter is very good as it is level for miles in any direction. Well worth a visit.
