Great site

Stayed for two nights with friends, both in motorhomes. The site is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The wardens should be very proud of themselves. They were so kind and welcoming and went to a lot of trouble to give us adjacent pitches. The whole site is immaculate, location and access to Cambridge is excellent. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

Good site

Stayed 2 nights, great welcome from the wardens. I think there are only 2 wardens but site was clean and well kept. Would like to see a mirror fitted at the exit of the site to aid visibility as you join the main road.

Excellent location and great wardens

Our first stay at Cherry Hinton. Happy to use it again if we are going to this area. Easy access to bus routes into Cambridge, 5 minute walk to the Robin Hood pub, great value meals and friendly service. We had one of the pitches (no. 3) down the ramp on the left as you enter the site. Nice and quiet, no passing vehicles as such and easy access to the facilities block. Wardens Kev and Di do a great job, friendly and chatty - make the stay even better. We are no longer holidaying with children - I suspect may not be ideal for a family holiday but may be wrong. The road outside the site us very busy at some times of the day.

Charming Site

Stayed for 4 nights in June. A lovely site staffed by helpful and cheerful wardens, on the site of an old chalk pit. This helps with the charm as there different levels and areas within the site where the pitches are placed. Facilities were always clean and well kept. Only observation was that the pitches whilst mostly flat, were themselves a little untidy and unkempt, with bald patches of grass and hardstandings quite weedy and tatty. Having said that, everything else was ok. 2 pubs near to site (both had nice gardens for evening drinks), bus service (No 3) to Cambridge every 20m from a stop 10m walk away, Tesco Express in Cherry Hinton, plenty of takeaways that delivered, Tv signal ok, 4g signal ok and wifi good. Had a nice walk into Grantchester from Cambridge, and stopped at the Orchard tea rooms. Lovely setting, food and drink on the side of a high price. Also went to IWM Duxford with MH. If you are into aviation definitely worth a visit. Would I return, yes as the positives far outweigh the negative

Don’t dislike the site, just the prices.

We stay at this site for short visits regularly throughout the year due to it’s proximity to Addenbrookes Hospital. Although we live down on the Kent coast, I have a rare medical condition that is treated by various specialist clinics at Addenbrookes. The site is fine for our needs as there is the quarry over the road for the dog to have a run around (the dog walk on site is only really adequate for very small dogs), a couple of nearby pubs with beer gardens if the weather is nice and various takeaways nearby if we don’t feel like cooking. Of course the main reason most people visit is it’s proximity to Cambridge. The state of pitches and facilities which some describe as ‘tired’ may be so but are fine for our short visits. What we find hardest to swallow is the price of this site. We stayed for one night about a week ago and had to pay £37.80p for our van and 2 people. I have another appointment in July which will no doubt be a similar high price but also one in December when by some miracle the price has dropped to £26.20p for 2 people and the van per night. I don’t understand the justification for these variations in price throughout the year. The pitch is the same, the facilities are the same, if anything we will use more electricity in the winter as it’s dark earlier and cold yet it’s considerably cheaper than the summer. The only and obvious reason I can come up with is to grab as much money as they can at the times of year when most people want to be out and about then when it’s quiet they have to reduce or else they would be empty. I don’t have a problem with sites that accept non members doing this to them but as the rest of us pay an annual fee, I think this should be for us to be able to pay a reasonable price all year round. Nearly £40 per night for a square of grass, a few litres of water and a few £’s of electric is not in my opinion reasonable but we are unfortunately stuck with it. Add on the price of the fuel these days and suddenly what should be a cheap short break isn’t.

Don't go down a slope to a pitch

Nothing wrong with the site except we did not realise it wasnt on a level and we ended up going down a slope to a pitch where there was hardly any sun due to the trees and the depth of the area where we were. It was actually quite depressing seeing the sun above. Sorry but not for us as we like a bit of sun to sit out in

Very tired

The overall appearance and feel of this site is that it is tired and could you do with money spent on the pitches and surrounding areas. If CAMC continue to put the prices up without maintaining the pitches, then this will encourage people to use CL sites at half the cost! Based on many reviews it appears that as long as the site wardens are friendly then the site gets a 5 star rating, surely that should be a given, as that’s their job!

A fantastic stay

We stayed recently for the first time and found the wardens very friendly and knowledgeable with regard to the local area. We had two meals at The Robin Hood pub which is within walking distance and dog friendly. We were told about a walk, mainly off road, into the centre of Cambridge. We found time to visit Ely and Grantchester as well as fully exploring Cambridge.

Excellent Week-end Break

This review is a little late coming but here we go! We stayed at Cherry Hinton at the end of February. It was only our second trip so we were (and still are) novices. The hosts were absolutely brilliant. We didn’t have a hose for freshwater so they found one for us. We didn’t know how to do the toilet so that was explained. We even managed to tear the bottom of the grey water tank which they crawled under our motor home to fix (as well as anyone can fix a 6 inch gash!). Basically, nothing was too much. Aside from the hosts, the site was very well located for Cambridge, We cycled in every day. The facilities were immaculate which definitely set a very high bar for all future sites. We can’t speak highly enough of the site and the facilities.
