My experience at fleet paddock was everything I had hoped for and more all the facilities were clean and well kept , I shared the family bell tent with friends and it had everything we needed for a memorable evening, the campsite was pretty busy but still maintained a peaceful family vibe, I would highly recommend this camping site to anyone wanting to escape the chaos of city life and connect with nature.
For me the highlight was the clear sky's at night which revealed the most stars I have ever seen it was amazing 👏 🤩

My recent glamping trip in a bell tent was absolutely great, perfectly blending tranquil nature with a comfortable double bed; soft blankets and pillows and the spacious and thoughtfully decorated bell tent ready and waiting for us. We were able to immediately relax and enjoy our surroundings. It was the perfect escape for anyone who has had a long week at work and loves camping with a touch of luxury.
The sun was shinning and it was wonderful to lie hammock! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We loved your place, it's fantastic. All the little details make it extra special. Clean, great location, swings, a tree house, bats and balls, a kitchen and lounge area, a great view of rabbits in the field from the warm shower. Quite magical. Would definitely come again.

My grandchildren and I have stayed at Brakehill Lodge Farm twice. It has proved to be our happy place. Peaceful, and just remote enough to escape the madding crowd.
Clare is a considerate host. She loves her home and all the nature it encompasses.
Try it...you will love ir too.😀

I love this campsite. It's been quiet the few times I've been. A little gem that's affordable clean toilets and showers. Owners are really lovely and polite and sell bloody good firewood!

We loved camping in the bell tents. The views were amazing. We loved that the sheep and donkey roam around the campsite area. The kids activities were a lovely touch and my son enjoyed taking the goat for a walk. We will be back some day!

Beautiful spot! I love that each plot has it's own BBQ and fire pit, this really made a difference to our stay. The games are a great touch and being able to walk to the cafe for a coffee and sausage roll in the morning was the icing on the cake. Honesty box for wood and coal, drinking water, clean (flushing!) toilets and showers, everything you could need. Can't wait to come back.

This is glamping at its most peaceful! simple, natural, and a chance to switch off and just be. We loved the freedom, the beauty, and the little sense of wilderness while still having a few comforts to make it easy with kids.
Sarah added so many extra thoughtful touches, the shower had great pressure and was hot and the beds were snuggly and comfy!
Would we go back? 100% yes. Iris stole our hearts. 🚌💚

We stayed in a bell tent in Archer’s Field and absolutely loved it. This is our second time to this beautiful site and we’ll definitely return. Peter and his wife work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and are really friendly and approachable. The site is quiet and there’s plenty of space between pitches. Our dog had a great time.

We had a wonderful time, excellent location by the river, pub and town. It was very quiet and we had enough space for our three families to run around and enjoy all the nature available! We hired the canoe and paddle boards which were fab. The beds were very comfortable and warm, toilets and showers were decent enough but did get messy quickly with all the usage. The wash up station was very basic and some of the outside benches were a bit tatty so because of that, probably an 8/10 BUT great for families.

Family glamping near Cambridge guide
Where to go
The Fens
Between Cambridge and Petersborough, the patchwork marshlands of the Fens stretch between the banks of the River Nene and Great River Ouse. Explore the flat landscapes by bike or on foot, spot wildlife or go fishing along the waterways, or admire the views from the water on a narrowboat cruise. Campsites are clustered around the market towns of Whittlesey, Chatteris, and Wisbech.
Suffolk Coast
Less than 1.5 hours from landlocked Cambridge, the Suffolk Coast AONB is a wildlife-watching paradise. Walking and cycling trails lead the way to wildflower-blanketed heathlands, shingle beaches, and coastal estuaries teeming with birds. Campers have plenty of options, whether you check into a holiday park, pitch your tent along the coast, or go glamping in the woods.
Norfolk
East of Cambridge, the coastal county of Norfolk has everything you need for a traditional British beach vacation. The beach resorts of Great Yarmouth, Hunstanton, and Cromer are favorites among campers and caravanners, with sandy beaches and brightly painted beach huts. Spend a day at the beach, paddle around Norfolk Broads wetlands on a canoe, and spot seals at Blakeney Point, then grab yourself some fish and chips to enjoy as you watch the sunset.
When to go
Cambridge is a year-round destination, and its lively student population means there’s always something happening in the city. Peak season is July and August, and popular sights can get overwhelmed by day-trippers—make an early start to get a jump on the crowds. University colleges are open for visits at this time, as well as select times throughout the student year, while punting is possible from April to October.
Know before you go
- Cambridge has several camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up supplies for your camping trip.
- Cambridge has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and attractions, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
- Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment upfront. Be sure to check opening dates, as some campsites close in the winter months.
- Wild camping is illegal throughout Cambridgeshire.
