 Lovely quiet site & we were able to launch our paddle boards.
Beautifully kept grass (all mowing must be collected so you don't end up with a mess of cut grass in your caravan or in the facilities block)
Toilets and shower block is old but well maintained & equipped, always immaculate & smelt fresh, plenty of hot water too.
Our second stay in 2 years & we expect to be returning this year

Lovely peaceful site with good views of the stars at night.
Right on the bank of a section of the River Great Ouse, but not on the main boat route. The touring site is small with a number of pitches taken up by seasonal units.
There are some static units as well and a residential mobile home park adjacent.
Toilet and shower facilities are spotless with plenty of hot water and free to use - with a key supplied by the site owner.
There is a local pub nearby with good food and beer(Axe and Compasses).
A very pleasant walk to Houghton Mill and another, longer, walk to St Ives. Both of which are entirely off road, on footpaths across green fields.

This campsite is exactly what it says "quiet" and spotlessly clean.
It also has river access which was handy for us as we like to kayak. Hope to visit again

Lovely quiet site, spotless toilet/ showers. Following comments about the charge for showers, there is no longer the need for 20p. All now free.
In the centre of a lovely picturesque village, in a great walking area, the park is right on the river bank.
Local pub just 200yds away from park. Good food

Quiet Location in a nice village
Not close to any shops or amenities as in a residential area
Bollards to enter site and was told not to let anyone tailgate which suggests they have had unwelcome visitors
A key for use of toilet block, and showers tedious
To have to pay 20p for a shower is a pain in the backside and irritating to say the leat
I would rather pay a pound more and have free showers
Toilets and showers dated but generally clean
Feels like a retirement centre

This site is fantastic. If you have a caravan!
I get the feeling they really don't care much for tents as I was placed on a very small patch of grass 10 feet from the toilet block.
The toilets were very clean and tidy, 20p for a shower lasting 5 mins was more than enough.
This site is also in the beautiful village you could ever wish to see with a fantastic food and real ale pub barely a 5 min walk.
The problem comes at night when some local 'lads' working locally but staying on site return from
The local pub and insist on wishing goodnight to the entire site!
Then there was a very large party of Germans (40) staying the night, which was fine until they decided to leave at 4. 30! I thought they were having a party in the toilet block!
I mentioned the noise the following morning to the owner who said that 'I' should have told them to be quiet!
I felt this site didn't accommodate tents one little bit and that we were an inconvenience at best.
Shame.

What a lovely place. The site is set in the beautiful village of Hemingford Abbotts, I have never seen so many thatched cottage in one area before, even the pub. The touring pitches are at the opening of the site with statics and holiday homes behind some of the tourers, were there for the season, so no riverside pitches available. The toilet block was large with plenty of loos, basins and showers and wash up area, but everything seemed to have meters, 20p a time showers, wash up sinks and £3. 00 laundry. It is definitely a place for fishermen, they were at the river bank (you could hire row boats) all day. The local pub did good food, we ate there on the Saturday lovely and beer was up to OH taste. There was a lovely walk by the river to Hemingford Grey which had a village store and another 'oldy worldy ' pub. In both places we were treated to roast potatoes on Sunday lunch. There was a bus stop in the village but no buses as it was Sunday, so not sure on times and destinations. There was also a walk to a working mill. Well worth a visit for its locality to such lovely places and lots of lovely walks. We will be back.

This is a small, quiet site reached by small country lanes for touring caravans and tents (there are Park Homes and Static Caravans at the rear. )
Set in the beautiful village of Hemingford Abbots, Peterborough, Cambridge, St Ives, and Huntingdon are all in easy reach by car using the busy A14 or country roads. The managers were very helpful when I arrived and set up my caravan for me.
There are lovely dog walks across fields, thanks to access from a farmer to the river with footpaths leading to St Ives about 3 miles away, passing through the pretty village of Hemingford Grey. With canal barges, geese, moorhens, and swans using the river.
It was very enjoyable despite the occasional inclement weather.
There is a very nice pub in the village.
The showers and washrooms were kept spotlessly clean, and there was also a laundry room, but I didn't see a play area for children. I would recommend this site perhaps for people who prefer the peace and quiet of the countryside. As it’s the second time I’ve been, I would certainly recommend it.

We stayed here for one night during an August weekend as we could only get a pitch for the one night.
A small touring field mainly taken up by seasonal pitches.There are probably around 5 pitches available to book.Nice and quiet.
Facilities were clean and tidy.Never a wait.Whenever I used them I was the only person in there.
Axe and compass in the village didn't serve food on a Sunday evening,though a very nice pub.
There are literally miles of good walks around the area,the dogs loved it.Eventually we ended up in Hemingford Grey and found a pub restaurant called the Cock Inn. Food was greta as was the beer in the separate pub.
All in all a fantastic Sunday/Monday. Highly recommended.

Hemingford Abbots is a delightful, picturesque village on the River Great Ouse with thatched cottages and a medieval church. The campsite is at the end of a quiet, tarmac road off the main High Street.
There is no shop in the village but the Axe and Compass pub, which serves good home-made food, is within a five minute walk.
There are some statics and an estate of thirty two retirement homes on site but there is certainly no holiday camp atmosphere and no feeling of regimentation.
The small field put aside for tourers is mostly taken up with seasonal caravans, which occupy the pitches next to the river. Although surrounded by trees, the site itself is open with little shelter or opportunity to tuck away in a corner.
Owned by the same family for over seventy years, the current owners live on site and offer a friendly welcome to visitors. The hook-up post was a fair distance from my pitch and the lead I had with me was not long enough but I was immediately loaned one from the site.
The toilet facilities are modern and extremely clean. There is drinking water, a washing machine, an iron and the other usual facilities. Novels can be loaned from the site office, where there are also tourist leaflets.
Showers cost 20p for five minutes, a reasonable time for a quick shower but the water stopped just as I was about to wash the conditioner out of my hair and I had to paddle out of the cubicle to put another coin in the machine.
Rowing boats can be hired from the site’s own river bank but there is no thoroughfare for other river traffic, hence the site’s name, perhaps. Turn left when leaving the site onto the village’s main street and a little further along, on the left, is a public footpath that leads across a meadow and onto another footpath that follows the river bank to the next village, Hemingford Grey, a ten to fifteen minute walk altogether.
At Hemingford Grey there is a church, post office, village shop and the Cock Inn, which I was told by those who eat there serves excellent food. The Manor House at Hemingford Grey, built around 1130 and once the home of the children’s author Lucy Boston, is reputedly the oldest inhabited house in England. It is open to the public by prior arrangement.
Turn right out of the campsite and almost at the end of the village is a turning to the right that takes you to a foot bridge, beyond which is a path that leads across Water Meadows to a lock and the village of Houghton, about a ten minute walk or a minute’s cycle. Just beyond the lock is Houghton Mill, owned by the National Trust.
The mill operates on Sundays during the season and the flour that has been milled there can be purchased. There is also a small café. Next to the mill is a Caravan Club site. In the village there are pretty Tudor buildings and two pubs, The Three Horseshoes and The Three Jolly Butchers, and a well-stocked general store.
The route connecting the villages of Hemingford Abbots and Houghton is not open to motor traffic and the journey by car will take some twenty minutes or more. Buses run from all three villages.
The weather was particularly hot and sunny during my visit and families were enjoying picnics on the riverbank at Houghton, using canoes and swimming in the river.
The area is also ideal for cycling and boats can be hired. The market town of St Ives, which offers a museum, restaurants and shops, is about three miles away,
This is a peaceful, attractive area and Quiet Waters is a very pleasant campsite.
