 Really enjoyed staying on the site. Perfect facilities, powerful showers, large plot, peaceful, good recycling system.
Could have used the fire pit if had not been so hot.
There was nothing we did not like.
Have recommended to friends and will hopefully come back soon!

There is nothing mad about this campsite! It is delightful. The site caters for many different camping needs; fully independent or GWE. There is a lovely four/ five plot grass standing for motor home/camper vans all very close to the amenities. The tenting sites are very well spaced out in circular plots so you get a generous amount of ground for your tent.
Most plots have campfire facilities. The wonderful aspect of this site is the wild flower vegetation. It is stunning. When we were there the dog-daisies were prolific; it looked like it had been snowing.
The ablutions are very good indeed and are kept immaculately. You even get the choice of showers fixed at different temperatures. A bonus for us was that the water had been passed through a water filter which made the water very soft. We live in a hard-water area, so it was lovely for us.
The proprietors were very friendly and chatty and were obviously hard working.
The Mad Hatter theme presents itself with large posters around the site and each tent pitch has a picture and a name of an A. I. W. Character.
The site is surrounded by fields growing a variety of crops.
The great River Ouse is a ten minute walk away and is ideal for bird spotting. So take your binoculars with you and go for a walk.
This is a great campsite. Book it.

We stayed in The King of Hearts wooden tent.
So much room and was extremely well kitted out.
The owners had thought of everything.
The washing facilities were spotless and one of the family bathrooms actually had a bath in it as well as a separate shower.
Perfect.
The site was well kept, close to Ely and the river.
We took our dog with us too, he loved it.

Beautiful setting, helpful staff on site and great facilities.
As a ‘birder’ I was in my element and got some decent shots!
Plenty of space to exercise my dogs too.
Will definitely return! 👍🏻

We loved this site once we found it. Brilliant set up, excellent clean hot showers (but a grab handle in shower cubicle would have made them safer for anyone like me with a disability) electric hookup, level grass pitch, accessible eco friendly recycling and very helpful manager/owners.
On the down side, be warned not to attempt access by the Second Drove lower road…a nightmare of potholes. Go via Clayway if you value your tyres or suspension!
Also, we had hoped it was nearer to Ely or on a direct bus route as once we had set up, we didn’t want to try driving the MH in the town itself. We ended up getting taxis. £10 each way. If the weather had been better, we might have tried cycling.
We loved Ely and would definitely stay at Mad Hatters again probably in the summer so we could appreciate the beautiful surroundings.

Fabulous. Just fabulous.
Tent surrounded by wildflowers, visible commitment to the environment.
Would come back very happily.
I'll say it again: fabulous.

Lovely campsite, each pitch is surrounded by wildflowers, friendly helpful owners who answered any questions.
Facilities were clean and adequate and even had 2 family bathrooms with toilet, wash basin, shower cubicle and small bath.
Open grass play area for children to play on and children’s play area in the middle of the site.
Could walk into Ely from site along the river bank.

We had such a wonderful time here.
The facilities were spotless & checked regularly.
Ely Cathedral is visible from the site!
It's a short drive or long walk away. If you like walking there's loads roundabouts.
The adjacent road is a constant background noise but bearable for the pristine campsite.

Wide open space, when we stayed, it was very hot weather, so it was great while there, good spot for walks and bikes rides,
Found it to be about 20 to 30 minutes to walk to Ely, which is a lovely town,
Shower block is very clean, when we were there,
There was our motorhome and a camper van only, in big wide open space,
It would be a great place for families.

Wonderful idea of pitches surrounded by wild flowers, and hot on recycling.
Very friendly and pleasant walk into Ely along the river, although access to the path could be easier (outside the campsites powers).
Facilities were very clean and with different temperature settings on the showers, there is one to suit.
Well worth a visit.
