Why stay here ...

Set in ancient quarry works and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the Cambridge Cherry Hinton Club Site has been imaginatively landscaped to create the impression of being in the heart of the countryside while only a 25-minute bus journey to the city centre of beautiful Cambridge.

The caravan park gives you easy access to guided walking tours of the nearby medieval colleges where you can enjoy the academic atmosphere that makes the city famous. Wander along or take a punt on the River Cam to see colleges like Corpus Christi, Magdalene and the Bridge of Sighs. A visit to King's College Chapel is a must. If you're feeling a little lazy, open bus tours let you take in the full charm of the city while you relax. For those who like to cycle, the Cambridge Cherry Hinton Club Park offers good cycling paths from the site into and around Cambridge. Just opposite the site, you can enjoy a lovely walk around the nature reserve and old chalk pits. If you're feeling peckish, it's only a short stroll to the nearest pub and if you need to stock up on supplies, a supermarket can be found a little further down the road.

Great Site, Great Team. Thank you

We visited the site 9ver 5 days and it was lovely. Site was clean and tidy and close to a Tesco express and the Pub!! We didn't met the full time wardens as they were on holiday but the temp wardens from Southend really were lovely and helpful. Really loved the nature reserve on other side of the road for dog walks and the on site walk is good. Can't wait to come back end of Nov. We will bring the bikes next time for sure. WiFi good. If working from van like me then, Vodaphone signal not fabulous but ok for hotspot on email, low quality on MS Teams, SKYPE etc. Obviously not the sites fault!! I will report on next visit if EE any better as I have Giga Cube to try out there.

Excellent site, great location and fabulous helpful wardens

We stayed here in September 2020, as we wanted to explore, the site was very busy. The wardens were excellent with nothing too much trouble and great local knowledge. With very few free pitches they were quick to point out the options and we got a great level pitch with afternoon sun. The site is great for visiting Cambridge with amenities and transport a ten minute saunter away. The chalk pits are a good dog walk area and we would thoroughly recommend this site. We used ur facilities throughout but the band system for toilets seemed to work

Meeting with Friends

We live only 10 miles from this site, so would not normally stay at a site so close to home but we were meeting up with friends we had made on a trip to NZ last year. On arrival we mentioned this to Paul and Marie, the very welcoming friendly wardens, they then couldn't have been more helpful in siting us close together, so we could have a socially distancing catch up. Although we only used the facilities minimally, they were very clean. As you are unable to pick up leaflets in the information cabin, they had laminated all necessary details regarding local transport and places to visit etc. Would definately recommend this site to people wanting to visiting Cambridge.
