Why stay here ...

Our site has easy access directly off the A1101 and is set well back from the road on an acre of mowed level grass. There is a water tap on each pitch and electric hook up is shared with the neighbouring caravan/ motor home. We are a small holding with sheep and chickens. We also have a small farm shop selling homemade sausages, eggs, fruit and veg, homemade cakes, jams etc. There is a small secure fenced field next to the camp site that can be used for children playing or running your dogs off lead. In the corner of the site there a picnic bench and fire pit for those family evenings , toasting marshmallows, watching the wildlife, telling stories and snuggling up keeping warm.

We are an excellent base for exploring Ely, Wisbech, Downham Market, Kings Lynn and Welney Wetlands Centre. If you wish to travel further afield, we are in easy reach of Sandringham, Cambridge, Peterborough or the beaches around the coast. We have an information shed on site to help you plan your days out.

Village stores, fish and chips and butchers are 1 mile away in the village.

Airbnb is available at farmhouse - please contact owners for more information.

Lovely little site

Whitehead Farm
We stayed at Whitehead Farm CL for 1 night in April 2023. This site is lovely and quiet. We could hear the lambs baa'ing which was lovely. There is a good size dog walk next to the site. The price is very good, we paid £15.00 and this included 10 units of electric of which we used under 10 units. The field is kept in good condition and more importantly the hosts were lovely and accommodating and we would certainly return.

Lovely site

Whitehead Farm
Lovely site, nice and flat. Great to have water taps at each pitch. We were welcomed on arrival by Jackie and John who were extremely helpful and informative. We bought sausages and eggs from them - really enjoyed them and bought some home with us. Easy access to Wisbech, Ely and Downham Market. Would highly recommend.

Friendly site, perfect for a relaxing break

Whitehead Farm
A lovely week spent at Whitehead Farm CL. The owners are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The site is flat and well looked after, we pitched in the corner near the sheep but there are 6 to choose from, all serviced so a nice change not to be refilling water! There is a great dog walk in the adjoining field, a meadow with paths cut through. Good for children to play too. There’s a few shops and a cafe in the village but not really walking distance. We ate at the Lamb and Flag in Welney (dogs welcome) and the Hare Arms at Stow Bardolph, both were excellent. We visited the Stow Hall Gardens at Stow Bardolph too which were interesting and a lovely walk on a sunny afternoon.

Lovely CL

Whitehead Farm
This is a really nice CL The pitch is flat (it's the Fens after all!) and each unit has a private water supply. Site entrance is wide enough even for large units without having awkward turns. Lovely dog walking area at the site (just grass, but planted up with trees, and ideal for the early morning outing). Very welcoming host, with a lovely fruit and veg stall at the entrance. In general, we found dog walking (trails and tracks) in this area very poor, and had to go to March or Chatteris before we could find something decent. The old railway line at Chatteris is perfect. Very handy location for bird watching at Welney, or a bit further away at Wicken Fen (we spent a full day there and say loads, including a Bittern). Ely is worth a visit; Wisbech is not! Just beware that the roads in this part of the world are terrible, as they are built on peat, so it's like a rollercoaster. Tie your crockery down well! Lovely site, lovely host, we would happily come back.
