 We have visited this site a few times over the last 5 years ( due to it being close to home)
The site is clean and well kept, the toilet blocks are very dated and could do with some investment, the play area is nice and open with no ball games allowed, although the swings as such are well passed their sell by date and again in need of investment.
However the last item may be intentional as kids are not really made to feel welcome there, so if you have a family give this one a miss.
Once on site you will need your car as you cannot walk from the site due to the busy road
Good Luck

We chose this site as it was close to home because we just wanted to try out our caravan and awning for the first time.
The welcome was very friendly and efficient and we were directed to our pitch by a lovely man on his bike. Our pitch was right next to the toilet and shower block which was very handy. The toilet block/washing up area was spotless and cleaned every day.
The whole site is very clean and tidy and nice and peaceful with plenty of space between each pitch.
Another reason we chose this site was because it is dog friendly. The enclosed dog walk area is great for letting the dog off the lead to run about, even for our tiny dogs that can escape through a very small gap!
The only thing the site lacks is a small shop for milk, bread etc but we knew this before booking so cannot complain at all.
We only had one problem whilst we were there but this was due to our inexperience. Our pitch was a hardstanding pitch which was very difficult to put up an awning on with just normal pegs. You would definitely need steel awning pegs for these pitches.
We took a trip into St Ives whilst we were there which is a lovely town, about 15/20 min drive.
Most places are approx that sort of distance away.
On the whole a great first experience and if we wanted to just get away for a quick break we would certainly return.

Stayed here with some friends (first time camping in a while). The site was very well kept and the facilities were top noch. The owners and wardens were very friendly and helpful.
We will be looking forward to meeting up with our friends again at this wonderful site. The owner was very good in letting us book 2 pitches next to each other bearing in mind we had a tent and our friends had a caravan.
This site does have permanent residents all thoughs we meet were very friendly. All I can say is go, you want be disappointed. The local village is about 1 mile away and has reasonable facilities.
There are restrictions to games being played on site but they have got some small areas to play ball games etc. Although I am a dog lover it was good to see they had a designated area for dogs.

My husband and I have just returned from camping with our Montana tent at Roseberry’s. We were a little worried at first as it seemed to cater more for tourer's / caravans / motorhomes, but over the weekend more tents arrived, and the site got busier.
There is a security barrier to the entrance to the site, which is great, and £5 returnable deposit got you a swipe card to get in and out.
The grass is very well maintained, cut regularly and the little pear trees around the park really broke up the open spaces and gave some privacy so it was lovely to look out onto.
Also there were picnic benches around the site for anyone to use, which was a lovely touch. The pitches were level and big (we fitted a Montana 6 tent with canopy, a utility tent and our car with room!
There is a play area in the middle of the site for young children and it was all very well laid out.
There is one toilet/shower block, which was always immaculate! They had soap dispensers, cloths etc in the toilets, and always hot water, the showers were lovely, although not quite enough space for getting changed, but a minor point. Toilets and showers are cleaned daily.
There are four washing up sinks, and although we were there for the May bank holiday and it was busy I never had to wait for one to be free, again these were kept very clean and were sheltered from the rain. There is also a washer and dryer and communal washing lines.
The owner and wardens see you to your pitch, and even offered to help set up if we needed it, which was lovely. They can often be seen cycling around, and stopping to chat to people, and were only a call away if you needed them.
Ely was a great little place to visit, and also Cambridge, but very difficult to park there. We did not find much to do in the area otherwise on a cold or rainy day for tourists, but ideal if you just want a quiet break.
It might be worth taking some provisions with you as the nearest shop in the village is a little too far to walk (and it is on a busy road with no path). There is a good size co-op in the nearest village though, and further along a nice selection of take-aways / pubs etc, there is a tourist information hut on site with everything you need both local and further afield for a day out or where to eat.
We had a great time, and met some great people. So overall a lovely site, very welcoming and a relaxing time.

We have just spent a lovely Easter weekend at this site. All of the staff were lovely and friendly with nothing too much trouble for them. We even found an Easter Egg outside our caravan on Easter Sunday courtesy of the 'Roseberry Bunnies', what a lovely touch!
I must comment on the grass because it was in tip top condition and well cut. As we don't use a groundsheet in our awning nice grass is really important to us.
We had plenty of space, actually more space than on most Caravan club sites.
The toilet block was clean and functional but I must add a bit of constructive feedback here. It would be much easier if there was a little stool in each shower (although I guess they could have had them stolen at some point) and the shower goes a bit cool when someone uses a tap in the washroom.
They did give us a chair for my Mum to use, really nice of them but she commented that she would have felt better if there had been a hand rail on the wall in the shower.
Apart from that, can't fault them! Well done you, give yourselves a pat on the back after a very busy weekend!

Roseberry is ideal for visiting Cambridge, St Ives and Ely, being located in between the three. The site is extremely well looked after and the owners are very pleasant and helpful.
The site is flat and some pitches are very large, resulting in a number of large motor homes visiting the site. Most of the pitches are on hard standing, but there are some grass pitches at the far end of the site. The grounds are kept very well indeed. There was just a little water laying on the roads, but no more than one would expect after a generally wet week.
Access to the site is good and there is a security barrier which works on a swipe card, obtainable from the reception with a £5 deposit. The reception is not regularly manned but a door bell will summon help quickly. Mark has a pager which is activated by the door bell and even if he is working somewhere on site he will quickly arrive on his bike.
The toilet block, in the centre of the park, was adequate for us in February when the site was not running to capacity, but might be more hard pushed if the site was really busy. The showers were a little on the small side, with only a curtain to separate the main shower from a place to leave clothes. The toilet block was kept very clean and tidy and was cleaned daily.
The grey waste water disposal was at a manhole cover (with handles) which had to be lifted before emptying the waste container. The chemical toilet point was rather too exposed for my liking, but I'm sure this is just me being fussy. Personally, I would see both these things as areas for further development.
Some of the pitches have water hook up (at no extra charge), but unfortunately there is no drain for grey waste on these individual pitches - grey waste had to be carried to the main drain point. This is a pity, but I believe this is due to the flatness of the land and the closeness of the holding tank to the surface, making the gradient necessary for drainage not possible from elsewhere on the site.
There are shops in the nearby village, but there is a Tesco Supermarket back towards the A14 at Bar Hill. Parking in Cambridge is generally difficult, so I believe, but we took a risk, drove in, parked on the road at 'the backs' and walked to the centre through Clare College. We enjoyed our visit to Ely.
We enjoyed our visit to Roseberry, which, at £19.50 a night for three of us, we thought was very reasonable. Cheaper than the local caravan club site and the quality of the site was almost on a par. This is a site we will certainly visit again when we are next this way.

Just spent the weekend at this site and was very impressed. The wardens were extremely helpful, the site was good with excellent toilet/shower facilities.
It was very quiet but probably due to the time of year and the poor weather. Could get a bit busy/noisy in high season I suspect.
Only down side from our point of view was that, although only a mile from the village, it is a fast road and no path so needed to drive to get in the village to have a meal (although it was worth it - the pub specialises in pies).

Myself and family have just come back from a weekend spent at Roseberry and we can't have been more impressed. The grounds are lovely and flat, everywhere is spotlessly clean, including the toilet and shower block and the wardens were friendly and very helpful.
What a delightful site! My daughters were kept busy on the swings in the centre of the grounds, while my husband and I enjoyed some sunshine and the quiet.
There are pear trees galore and we were told to help ourselves, which we gratefully did! We ventures out to St Ives some 7 miles away and enjoyed the countryside along the way.
All in all a very pleasant weekend. The only downside I thought was being so near to the main road, which at night could be a bit noisy and the lack of a shop but other than that a site to be recommended!

This site convinced us that we dare camp in the UK despite the weather! we have stayed there two years running and really appreciate the attitude of the management, the superb pitches in the pear orchard and the very clean toilets. We do not like dogs on campsites but this one caters very well for them and minimises the nuisance to others. Last year we had lovely weather but this year endured 36 hours of torrential rain which the owner predicted accurately! The site coped very well and we were able to pack up in the sun. It is an ideal location for touring.
