We had such a fun time. Claire (our host) was lovely and made us feel incredibly welcome. We didn't bring anything to sit on (as we had taken public transport) and she was kind enough to lend us some benches for us to use on our patch. She ensured that our wood was kept dry for our campfire and that she was within reach should we need anything. We would definitely return again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Me and my partner came here for a much needed city break by tent and it was honestly amazing! The shower and toilet are seperate facilities and both clean, there is a kitchen too with a gas stove for cooking! The site is near anywhere you'd like to drive or even walk to around the peak district, and in the actual site itself you can see all the altitude and beauty around you. The air is incredibly fresh, and the owners of the campsite are really sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back for our next trip to the peak district this summer, thank you for having us :)

This was my third visit this year and we pitched up in a different location to before. The choice of where you want to pitch up is endless and every area of the pitch gives you complete privacy with stunning views. If you have a dog then this pitch is perfect for them to enjoy open space. Peter and Celia are amazing hosts with great communication. The pitch is really easy to access and find, we were fine with our 7m camper. I highly recommend this Hipcamp.

Where to go
Around Peterborough
Right on the River Nene and home to several lakes, Peterborough is a destination for water lovers and anglers. Sailing, windsurfing, and open water swimming are popular activities at Nene Country Park, which also houses a campsite and caravan park. Other family-friendly options include working farms, such as Sacrewell, while glampers can choose from a range of exclusive lodges and tent sites.
The Fens
Traditional Fenland towns Whittlesey, March, Chatteris, and Wisbech are within easy reach of Peterborough, each offering unique rambling and riding opportunities. The Greenwich Meridian Trail, Fen Rivers Way, and Hereward Way all pass through the area, while adult-only campsites, touring parks, and luxury lodges offer accommodation options for all manner of Hipcampers—including fish farms and lakeside sites for keen anglers.
Thetford Forest & The Brecks
East of Cambridgeshire on the Suffolk-Norfolk border, this lowland forest is best known for its balmy microclimate and rich variety of flora and fauna. The region’s long distance trails, such as the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path Trail, are lined by rural campsites, while outdoor attractions such as Brandon Country Park and Knettishall Heath offer relaxed rambles and wildlife watching.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast AONB
Get a glimpse of England’s dramatic and varied coastline just 90 minutes northeast of Peterborough. Made up of salt marshes and mud flats, the Wash estuary is a haven for birdwatching, while sprawling beaches and small villages along the Norfolk coastline reveal a far more traditional seaside view. Coastal camping options include back-to-basics sites, glamping pods, and family-friendly holiday parks.
When to go
Camping in the east of England is most popular during the summer, though adventurers that brave the short days and cold climes of autumn and winter are rewarded with golden-hued views and far quieter campsites, though be aware that many close for the off season.
Know before you go
- If you need camping gear, check to see if your campsite hires out. If not, Peterborough has several camping shops, including a GO Outdoors, Mountain Warehouse, and Millets.
- Sports and activity gear is generally hirable on site.
- Peterborough is reasonably well connected, with the direct train from London taking just under an hour.
- If you plan to travel to more remote spots, it’s worth hiring or driving your own vehicle.
- Anglers will need a rod license, which can be purchased from the Environment Agency.
