 To find this site : Turn into Chittering at the sign that reads 'Chittering Village only' Site is on the left behind the Travellers Rest Pub ( currently closed)
At the moment coming from Cambridge it is difficult to spot ( they are waiting for brown tourist signs). I missed it and ended up doing a 'u-y' on the A10 - not advisable.
Super site, clean, friendly and helpful proprietors, and the showers are great.

Just got back from this site after having spent 3 nights there. (02 05 13) What can I say, a site that is run with the camper in mind. Very tidy, well maintained grounds. Toilets and showers (free) very clean. Very friendly, helpful staff/owners. We used this site as we had a relative staying in Addenbrookes Hospital after as serious road accident. Faced with a 200 mile round trip each day so we could be there, booking this site was a no-brainer being only 10 miles away from the hospital.
The owners, who were aware of our position, could not have been more understanding and helpful.
As a tourist, I would recommend this site as a base to visit the many interesting and quirky villages in the surrounding area and also to visit the historic city's of Cambridge and Ely. The village of Grantchester, to the west of Cambridge is a must to walk round with it's olde worldy pubs that must have been used for film locations at some time.
May we take this chance to thank the owners for looking after us both so well.

I have just spent a brilliant three nights at Travellers' Rest with my two boys (4 and 6yo).
This is a wonderful site for caravanning - perfectly flat pitches, all with EHU and plenty of water taps.
The pitches are marked out with gravel roads and paths, which were great in the rain, and the grass would make any bowling club proud. How do they have such perfect lawn?
The facilities were spotless and the individual shower rooms were big enough to clean two filthy boys.
Washing up room and covered area good - although the hot water was from electric heaters which I have always found a bit annoying.
But perhaps the best bit was the welcome and service from the owners, who were every bit as friendly, helpful and knowledgeable as others have already discovered. Their two children quickly became friends with my two, and they all spent good parts of the day playing together on the site's trampoline and swing/slide, which was lovely. My boys have already decided they only want to go here for holidays! The public play area is just outside the gate, which meant they could not go unaccompanied.
This campsite is located right on the A10, so there is traffic noise, but as it is continuous, you soon stop hearing it. This an immaculate, orderly site, not a rural retreat.
If you are looking for a comfortable, clean and handy place to pitch up in order to visit the huge number of attractions nearby (which include the two cities Cambridge and Ely, the nature reserves, RSPB sites, National Trust etc, etc) then it is perfect.

I don't wish to reiterate in detail was has been said before so I will keep it short!
Nicely located between Cambridge and Ely with a nearby Park & Ride option to the former. Excellent and very clean facilities including showers and wash up area. Nice, flat site with optional electric hookup. Extremely welcoming and friendly service from the owners.
Small play area for children within the site with a council play area just next door too. Great value compared to other sites around the Cambridge area. The nearby A10 can be a bit loud at times but with all the fresh air, getting to sleep was never a problem. Will stay again!

What a lovely site, we could not understand why more people had not found it.
Visited with two other couples in their motorhomes and made to feel very welcome.
All the facilities are first class, even has a fully fitted out disabled shower room. There is a barrier to the site which you are given the code to. The actual site is behind the Travellers Rest Pub (which is now closed) in School Lane.
The bus stop is outside a two minute walk away, on the camp side it goes to Cambridge and opposite the Travellers Rest pub is the stop for Ely. The bus to Cambridge takes you right in to the bus station where it is easy to change to another bus to go even further afield.
The owner and her husband are very friendly. Ask for the take away Indian menu, it was delivered to the site and was the best we have tasted in a long while.
Only negative we could find was there was traffic noise, but at £15 a night with electric and water on your pitch all season, this was excellent value for money. I think they may now be open February to November, so well worth checking out.
Another good thing with the site is that check out time is 2 o'clock, so no mad rush to get things put away.

When we turned off the A10 on to the immaculate gravel drive leading to this camp site I knew I had made the right choice as to where we were to spend our long weekend.
The whole site was very clean and well kept and due to our very wet summer I was very thankful for the excellent drainage the site had.
The owners are lovely people, very easy going and helpful and the facilities on the site are very well kept. It is in a great location to access some of the beautiful near by towns and the surrounding countryside. The road can be a little noisy but not enough to detract from the big pros of this site.
I met up with some other campers at a near by site who invited us to a BBQ and I have to say although it was nearer Soham (Which we were visiting each day to attend a Roller Hockey training camp) I was pleased we stayed at this site, as it was much nicer.
We will be using this site again in the future and look forward to our returning visits.

I am so surprised that this little gem of a site wasn't full on the hottest weekend of the year. My granddaughter (aged 5) and I had a lovely time here. The place is immaculate.
As a 'lone woman with a child' it was important to feel safe and I certainly did at The Travellers Rest. The owners are friendly and helpful and my granddaughter was delighted to find a friend in their small daughter.
When we arrived a picnic table was moved to allow us to pitch our tent in the shade, a very welcome gesture on a very hot day.
The A10 is a mixed blessing. On the one hand it makes for easy access to nearby towns and attractions, on the other it is a little noisy. During the day it creates a bit of background noise which isn't always a bad thing, better than feeling that nearby campers are forced to listen to your every conversation!But not a great sound to wake up to.
The shower block was as good as any I've come across. I loved the roomy 'bathrooms'. So much easier when showering with a child than being squeezed into a little cubicle.
Being new the site is a little plain at the moment and would benefit from more trees which I know the owners have plans for. However as it was so open I was able to keep an eye on my granddaughter wherever she was and with the site not being full there was plenty of room for ball games.
We visited Ely which is a nice little town with free parking close to the river and Anglesey Abbey (National Trust) which is a superb place for a day out.

This lovely site is ideally situated between Cambridge and Ely off the A10. On arrival, we were met by the co-owner (Caroline) who was really welcoming and friendly. More
Iike a neighbour than a warden! She provided lots of info on getting around and as we had a motorhome, using the local buses. Once settled, the co-owner (and husband) came over to ask if we were happy. Good for customer relations.
The site is extremely well kept with good sized pitches (we had one of the hard standings) and loads of room. The toilet block is compact, but very modern. There were two en suite-type lockable shower / wc / basin rooms for men and three of the same for ladies. These were exceptionally clean. Although there were no individual toilet cubicles, it didn't cause a problem as the site wasn't too busy.
There are two outdoor covered washing up sinks with hot water and one indoor utility area with free use of a fridge. A joint 'grey' water and chemical toilet drainage sluice is also on the site.
There is a bit of road noise from the A10 but it's rare not to get a bit wherever you go these days.
Unfortunately, there aren't any eateries or pubs close-by.
If you have a car, the Cambridge Park n' Ride terminal isn't far. For those (like us) who don't have separate transport apart from a Motorhome, there is a bus stop just outside the camp. Including various village stops, it takes approx 25 minutes to Ely and 35 to the very centre of Cambridge. Senior's bus passes are accepted. The bus runs hourly, finishing early evening, but with no Sunday service. Turn left onto the main road for bus/shelter stop to Cambridge and cross the main road if going to visit Ely. Note: There is only a lay-by and no bus stop sign on a post! The badly worn words 'Bus Stop' are marked on the road surface in the lay-by!
We had great visits to Cambridge and Ely was an interesting place too. Will definitely be staying at this site again

A relatively new set up but never the less a well kept and clean site. The proximity to the road meant traffic noise was a problem to some of our party.
The facilities were first class but I wonder if they would be adequate if the site was really busy.
The Lazy Otter Pub near by provided a lovely setting for a pint and a meal.
Cambridge is best visited using the park and ride nearby, they will allow dogs on the bus as long as they are well behaved.

We had a lovely time at this campsite. The toilets and showers were kept spotlessly clean all of the time.
There was an area with two sinks under a cover and two sinks in a hut for washing up, this was also immaculately clean. There was also a fridge in the hut.
The campsite was very well planned with a gravel walkway so that even though it was very wet weather, we didn't have a problem with mud.
The site is located on the A10 so there is road noise, but nothing that we would consider to be a problem.
The site is in an excellent location for visiting the local area, with the park and ride service into Cambridge about 5 minutes away, and plenty of Rspb nature reserves and National Trust properties to visit. The Imperial War Museum at Duxford is another good wet weather option.
