Let’s talk about the facilities. I know, it sounds boring, but hear me out. The shower block is like a five-star spa compared to some campsites I’ve seen where you risk a cold shock and a meeting with a spider. Here, the water is hot, the pressure is pod-worthy, and the floors are clean enough to eat your dinner off. I’m not suggesting you do, but the option is there.

There’s a little shop that stocks the essentials: milk, bacon, eggs, and the emergency bottle of wine you will definitely buy. It’s run by people who nod in understanding when you buy that extra pack of chocolate biscuits at 9pm. And the waste disposal point? Let’s just say it doesn’t make you wince. It’s the camping equivalent of a civic amenity that actually works.
The Local Flavour: Punting, Pints, and Pies
The best part is that you’re right next to Cambridge but far enough away to hear the owls at night. You can cycle into the city in about fifteen minutes, which makes you feel like a local who’s just too cool for the bus. Suddenly, you’re punting on the Cam, pretending you know what all the colleges are called, and eating a pasty from a bakery that has a queue out the door. It’s all very refined, until you cycle back to your motorhome and have beans on toast.
Across the road is the White Swan, a pub that will solve your “I don’t want to cook tonight” problem perfectly. It’s the kind of pub with a log fire and a sticky dessert menu. You’ll go in for one pint and emerge two hours later, happier and slightly fuller. It’s a dangerous radius to live in.
