 This site is within easy walking distance of Huntingdon, Godmanchester and Porthome for walking your dog. Good pubs in the area and easy access for Touring Caravans/Motorhomes.

Although the toilets and showers are dated, they are kept clean and having toilet/shower facilities in our caravan this did not detract from the enjoyable experience of the site.

We had a great pitch for our caravan (Pitch 15) with lovely views over the marina and Porthome.

There is very little road noise now that the A14 has been rerouted and it was lovely to watch the boats going by from our pitch.

The owners were very friendly and the campsite suited all the needs for a couple of our age.

I believe that the positives far outweigh the negative comments posted by other reviewers and we have already booked two separate visits again in 2022.

 The plus point of the site is it is within easy walking distance to the town of Huntingdon, so great for walking to pubs in the area.

Would recommend the Bridge Hotel, had a lovely meal in there and the facilities and staff are excellent. The site is overlooking the river, so pleasant, if you can see it through the trees.

The minus of the site is it is a small camping field. The put off points are the site needs a good cleaning and maintenance.

Lots of discarded items lying around and unused or uncared for/abandoned caravans, motorhomes in the camping area.

The toilets and showers aren't very clean, only one toilet in use. Dont know what the caravan area was like, but I have been to better campsites.

It probably was a nice site a few years ago.

 Site charming, welcoming and facilities spotless.

Very little road noise as A14 has been rerouted.

Close to shops, pubs etc in both Godmanchester and Huntingdon.

Will definitely return.

 ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS SITE we had the BEST week.

Great owners, amazing views, just perfect to sit and watch the world go by in their boats.

Slight road and train noise when the winds in the wrong direction !

Definitely coming back

 Good site next to the river, great views and walks. 10 minute walk into Huntingdon.

Used as a stopover on this trip but would have stayed longer.

 Mmm, you expect a lovely location based on the web site, reality differs.

The owners are lovely, as is the the location but, most of the site is full of scruffy seasonal vans. The boats are all pretty wrecked to so lots of “old” stuff around.

The place is tidy ish otherwise.

The facilities are poor, old tired and cold. We said to the owners about the cold and we were advised to turn the heater on 30 mins before a shower, but the windows won’t close so was still cold.

The killer is the road noise, boy is it loud and non stop, in October when we stayed it wasn’t to bad as we were indoors, in the summer sitting outside and with windows open it would be horrendous.

We left a day early.

Reviewer: H4ppycmpr 1 review from this member

 The site is well maintained and in a beautiful area. The owners are lovely and helpful, however the proximity to the A14 is closer than you expect.

The toilets and showers are very dated and don’t always work. The tokens (25p for 5 mins of water) can get stuck and you have to ask to get them fixed if you want your shower, which isn’t great.

It is an easy walk to Godmanchester or Huntingdon which is a plus, but the road noise is horrific! It is constant and does not quieten down at night. The pitches are close together and are not too far from the toilets.

It is on a marina, which is beautiful but be wary of the midgies! We didn’t get bitten thankfully but in the summer it would be awful! Also be wary of young children and the water, you can pitch your tent on the edge which is lovely but it can be a drop into water if your not careful.

I wouldn’t recommend the site as the road noise is horrendous, I can’t even imagine it being better in a caravan!

 Hi, we stayed at this site for 7 nights in September 2017. We found the road noise from the A14 constant (24 Hours) and very disturbing. We were in a caravan and could still hear the traffic and we think that this would be unbearable in a tent.

The pitch that we were given was very small and we were unable to put up our porch awning. I measured the width of the pitch, it was 8. 00 metres. This was supposed to accommodate a caravan 2. 18 metres wide, an awning 2. 4 meters and a car 2. 1 metres that left us not much more than 1 metre to open doors and to leave space between the car and the next unit.

We did not have room to park the car in front of the pitch as this would have blocked the access to the next pitch, and the site owner told us that we must park our car at the side of our awning. The toilets were very grubby and smelly.

The gents had 2 handwash bottles and 1 was empty for 6 days and the other for 3. They were both replenished the day before we left, even then less than 1 third filled.

The site is on a small boating marina and is very picturesque. Having said that we had quite a bit of disturbance from a nearby boat doing repairs (grinding, banging and sawing). The site is a 10 min walk from Huntingdon High St in one direction and from the centre of Godmanchester in the other.

 I was surprised on arrival to see so many seasonal pitches, 13 but with nobody on site. Our pitch was nice, overlooking the river and moored boats.

Toilet block was clean and adequate. Throughout our 3 night stsy, there was a maximum of 6 other people on site, no issues with toilet block! Would I visit again? NO, the road noise was constant and very unpleasant.

It is a shame but there was no chance of peace and tranquillity.
