Excellent overnight stay

Agree with all the comments. Would deter to visit here again which is the highest compliment. This site is immaculate. Only 1 thing to raise, which is the chemical waste. It doesn't drain too quickly and is shallow and fairly exposed so some splash back.

Perfect for Ferry Meadows

This site is perfect for visiting Ferry Meadows without the expense of the CAMC fees. Having bikes the cycle ride to Ferry Meadows was very straight forward. NCN12 runs directly from the campsite and goes all the way to the outskirts of Peterborough where it meets up with the vast array of cycle paths around the city. We didn't venture into Peterborough as we have visited the city many times. We also followed the NCN12 to Huntingdon. Unfortunately the free Cromwell Museum is closed on Mondays. There wasn't an awful lot to see in the town, but the cycle ride there and back took us through some lovely villages. Set up on our arrival at the site was easy. We were met by the owner who directed us to our pitch (one of the two at the top of the field). The water point is before you get into the camping field, so being a motorhome we filled up before we pitched up. We were on a slight slope - but were able to use our blocks. Being adjacent to a hedge we had numerous small birds flitting about in the hedgerows, plus flocks of redwings in the fields. We also spotted a couple of Red Kites flying overhead. Just down the main road from the site is a public footpath across the fields. We did a 4 mile looped walk on our first day which was lovely. We cycled into Stilton one evening for a meal in The Talbot. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great - especially as the Calcutta Cup was on the TV. My nation won! The village is just over a mile away, and as the main road isn't that busy we felt perfectly safe cycling there and back. The site is situated not too far off the A1. We only JUST heard the distant rumble of traffic. I suppose it depends on the wind direction. All in all we enjoyed our stay here.

Quiet weekend away.

Easy to find and easy access, we are in a long twin axle. Nice tidy site, on a slope so good for views, all pitches are fairly level hard standing shingles with plenty of space around. Two smaller pitches at the top and a few bigger pitches at the bottom. All pitches have a great view over the fields. Very quiet especially at night. The fresh water is at the top and the chemical toilet at the bottom, at least it works in your favour for the empties going up and the full ones going down and it's not that far, just a few steps. EHU, but I had to lower our amps down to 15amps otherwise I blew the trip, everything worked fine even the heating. Good walks and bike rides. Great Fish and chips from the mobile van in Folksworth on a Friday from 16:00-20:00 https://howeandcofishandchips.co.uk/location/folksworth/

Couldn't have been much better

The title says it all really. From booking through to access to the site to the pitch itself and the general amenities the whole process was hassle free. We arrived via Stilton village, the only concern really being the turn into Church Street, which poses a slight problem due to the general store and Post Office being situated near the corner and cars parked either side of the road. Once through this and onto the site, the access is down a well signed stone gravelled drive (clean) to the house and farm buildings. Stop outside the house as requested and once introduced to the pleasant owner find a vacant pitch from those available. The site has 2 pitches at the top end and 5 others at the bottom to choose from, on hardstanding and I believe that in summer you can pitch on the grass if wanted. The water is at the top next to the farm building but the Elsan is at the bottom. Waste bin (just the one for everything) is at the top and waste water into the hedge. It provides 10 Amps. Input your EHU and turn the dial to activate. The site is now ADULTS only. We were "blessed" with high winds during our brief stay as the site is a little exposed but has beautiful countryside views. Shops can be found at Yaxley just a few miles away and in Peterborough. There is a large Tesco and M&S Foothill at Serpentine Green shopping centre about 4 miles away. The site is easily accessed from the A1 and would make an ideal stopover. Whilst we are dogless the owner did say that there are plenty of walking opportunities from site for any owners of pooches. There is virtually no passing traffic so quiet (apart from the wind). Red Kites, Owls and Hares can be seen with luck from the site itself. The owners were splendid and will happily tell you about places to visit. Our only disappointment was that we hadn't thought of coming to this site before. Hope to be back soon and will make a diversion to be there if somewhere in the area again.

Great for Dogs

Weve stayed here a few times on the way to somewhere else! Last year we stayed on the way to Yorkshire both coming and going and the CL we were booked onto in Yorkshire was awful so we agreed the best 2 days of our holiday were spent at Oaklands Farm. Funnily enough we were reluctant to leave on the way up and wish we hadn't. This CL is peaceful, well kept and dog friendly with a good dog walk round the adjacent field. We must stop longer another time. Thank you .

Loved the Red Kites

Well kept site and friendly owners. The real stars are the Red Kites that circle the site all day and perch in the trees around the site. Was able to walk to Stilton for a drink and a meal. A1 is nearby but you can’t hear it.

Excellent Site , very well kept.

Stayed at this site for five nights, this is a very good located site with excellent access to local places of interest and as we are dog owners great walks from the site whether you want a short walk or a long one. The site is clean and tidy and quiet for a relaxing stay. We would fully recommend this CL site and would not hesitate to return . Many Thanks.

Lovely CL

Stayed here for two nights on a weekend away from home, there really is nothing to dislike about this CL. Access from the A1 is good, drive access is good. We were offered a choice of pitch, grass or hardstanding and WIFI is included in the cost. Hardstanding gravel good and we pitched our caravan so that the awning was on the grass. Elsan down the bottom of the site and the fresh drinking water is up near the house. Great dog walk in the field through the hedge next door. Lots of great walks directly from the campsite. Lovely welcome and send off from the owner who recommended the chip van visiting in Folksworth about a mile away on a Friday evening. If the wind was coming in from the East we could vaguely hear traffic noise from the A1 but this was barely noticeable and we had a quiet and peaceful stay here. We would come back.

Brilliant

We stayed just for an overnighter in May 2021. The site is really convenient for the A1, yet far enough away from everything to be pretty much silent overnight. All the essential services are present surrounded by beautiful views through the countryside. On a sunny, late spring evening we sat outside with a beer and simply enjoyed the location - lovely!. No pressure over arrival and departure times from the really friendly host and a distinct feeling of 'I wish we were staying for longer'. Definitely one to remember, and we will return.
