Dog-friendly Cambridgeshire site with 12 acres of meadowland and lakes
A 25-minute drive from Cambridge and 35 minutes to Ely; access to A14
Carp and coarse fishing lakes; restaurant and kids' centre

What will you reel in first? With carp and coarse fishing on site, and the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside, it could be a big catch or a haul of memorabilia… or photos of otters and swans at local nature reserves or all the family in front of a mighty cathedral. Set over 12 acres of meadowland and with two small mature fishing lakes on site, Crystal Lakes Caravan Park is a secluded family-friendly and dog-friendly site that's still within reach of a couple of urban areas: it's 10 minutes’ drive from Huntingdon and 25 minutes from Cambridge, with easy access to the A14. Eggs sunny side up or burgers by the bun? Find whichever option gets your tummy rumbling 10 minutes’ walk away in Fenstanton village centre, which has a butcher, two general stores, bakery and newsagent. There are also shops selling fresh garden produce and free-range eggs, an excellent fish and chip shop and a village pub. If you need to work up an appetite for all that food, hit the nearby cycle paths or public footpaths (there are over 600 miles of public footpaths around, as well as the RSPB reserve at Fen Drayton Lakes). Facilities back at base include spacious toilets and showers and hand basins, all supplied with free hot and cold water. Kids can play games, run about on the recreation field or sign up for various antics at the activity centre on site (entry charge applies as this is run by a different company). And of course fishing will surely keep you busy… there’s a small daily charge for that, with carp, tench, pike, bream and others to hook out of the two lakes.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: Easy to find site and clean and well maintained, fishing lake seemed popular and theres a few in situ caravans on the site. Theres a small shop that has a few chilled and frozen bits and simple stuff which is cheap. Toilets were clean, showers were OK and free. Ten minute walk to local village and 30 minute walk into St Ives.

Disliked: Ladies showers weren't the greatest.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely pitch - great views and little visual clutter.
No hassle electric hook up
No hassle check in / registration
Friendly and amenable people on site to help out
Very well kept facilities - beautifully clean, uncrowded and lots of hot water.
Good location - very close to St Ives and local shops/facilities

Disliked: Attempted to fish in the smaller of the lakes. As novices we didn't fare too well - lots of reeds and overhanging trees. (But total novices so......)

Maybe a coffee/snack machine on site?

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: The site managers were approachable and friendly giving local recommendations for meals out. Pitch was clean and spacious with all the facilities asked for.
Access to and around the site was good and space around each pitch was spacious

Disliked: The site could have better lit signage on entry. We struggled to see the site name in the dark. Also the signage on approach for where to pull in for reception wasn’t visible. The showers in general were dated, having just opened for the season, it was a surprise the shower head sprays were blocked. Facilities were however clean

Disliked: Last two booking here cancelled no reason given

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,

I’m really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.

We’re so sorry we had to cancel your booking with us,
We had to cancel last minute due to the main road outside being closed due to flooding which meant there was no access either way,
We never had no prior warning of this,

Thanks

Local attractions

Martini or tonic? Pick your poison at the Roundwood Distillery (20 minutes’ drive), where gin is the speciality. Beforehand, line your stomach with goodies sourced from the local market town, Huntington (10 minutes). Welcome to cathedral city… Ely (half an hour) is known as much for its rosy-cheeked gin as it is for its sky-high cathedral and stained glass museum. The cities are pretty imposing here, as Cambridge (25 minutes) is full of learning… master the art of punting on the river Cam or eye up modern art at the museums. Switch modern artefacts for jumbo jets at Britain’s largest aviation museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford (25 minutes). Then, bring things back down to earth at Houghton Mill (15 minutes), a National Trust site with tea rooms, canoeing and cycling at the final remaining mill on the river Ouse. Less for canoeing and more for wildlife spotting, RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes (10 minutes) harbours more waterways, frequented by otters, geese, ducks and swans.
