  • Peaceful family-run site a short stroll from the Great Ouse river
  • Canoe and small craft launch, fishing and play park
  • Acclaimed dog-friendly gastropub within 150 metres
Pitch up near the river and launch your canoe with ease at this small, secluded, friendly and well-maintained green site in Cambridgeshire countryside… or dangle a rod into the water for a spot of (free) coarse fishing, or keep a lazy eye on the offspring at the play park while you lounge about in this scenic setting… all up for easy grabs at Willows Park and Marina near Huntingdon and a short stroll from the Great Ouse river. All pitches are on grass. Both areas have easy access to the well-maintained and heated bathroom block with toilets, showers, a big disabled-access bathroom, a laundry room and washing-up areas. There's plenty of room around the site and along the river for wanders; if your feet want to take you further, you can hook up with the Ouse Valley Way from Brampton or Huntingdon (or both; The Willows lies between the two). There's more coarse fishing too at the lake 750 metres away, you can hire boats a couple of miles away, and the watersports and events of Grafham Water are within 20 minutes' drive. Barbecues are allowed on site, but you might, sensibly, opt to sup and sip instead at the neighbouring Brampton Mill gastropub by the river a minute's walk away: it's dog-friendly here too.

Local attractions

The Willows is a 10-minute walk – or five minutes by bus – from its closest village of Brampton, where there are another two recommended foodie and dog-friendly pubs, the Black Bull and the Dragoon. For watery sports, there's a sailing club and a watersports centre at Grafham Water, alongside a good-size centre that also includes outdoor playgrounds, Segway hire, a 10-mile circular cycle track (and bike hire), and trout and coarse fishing. The centre's 200-acre nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest runs regular activities and events. Also recommended are Hinchingbrooke House and country park, a few hundred metres away, Pepys House at Brompton and the Cromwell Museum at Huntingdon (both within a couple of miles), and seeing the bird of prey displays at the Raptor Foundation, 20 minutes' drive away at Woodhurst.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Open-ness of park, well designed overall. Park manger was really welcoming and helpful.

Disliked: Condition of toilet facilities. Not too bad but probably more of a two person job and perhaps not enough staff to do it?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review Andrew a pleasure to have you all at The Willows! We are closing down tomorrow to refurb the facilities as they are tired and need updating but are always deemed clean and tidy, just outdated! Hope to welcome you back in 2026 when we re open!

Great winter overnight stay.

Liked: Having some hardstanding in winter is essential so did the trick fine. Room for our canopy too to keep off the rain. Warm toilet block and plenty of hot water.

Pub is very nice close by.

Jane F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Great location, good dog walking area & dog friendly pub a few minutes walk away. Hardstanding pitches are actually on the road around the campsite but it’s plenty wide enough & not a problem for us. The manager gave us a 20% discount voucher for the pub so we enjoyed a lovely meal there. We didn’t use the washroom facilities so can’t comment on them. WiFi is available payable separately but again we didn’t need to use it. There’s so much to explore in the area, we would definitely stay again.

From the manager: Thank you Jane for your lovely review, much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you both again at The Willows.
