  • Peaceful adults-only site with meadows, a woodland and river views
  • A 15-minute drive from Ely and 25 minutes from Cambridge
  • A mile and a half from the village stores, post office and local pub
Ready for hols touring the East Anglian fens? There's plenty of scope for outdoorsy wanders at Bridge House Meadows – this peaceful adults-only Cambridgeshire spot is right in the middle of England's big sky country and surrounded by coastal plains. Jaunts to nearby cultural hubs can also be sorted – 'tis rare indeed to have two such fine historic cities on your doorstep, but at Bridge House Meadows you can visit Ely's ancient cathedral (15 minutes' drive) or Cambridge's punts, quads and colleges (25 minutes) and still be back in time for tea.  There's plenty to admire on site here, too – meadows, a woodland and river views all add up to a fine backdrop for stays at this quiet, back-to-basics park. Bridge House Meadows is all about restful stays in the open air (the fact that there are no noisy tots within earshot certainly helps with the restful part). This comely rural spot has a mix of habitats, so make sure to keep an eye out for visiting wildlife as you wander or take deckchair time.  The site keeps facilities low key so as not to detract from the wild surrounds, but it's easier than you might think to venture out to the outside world – this seemingly remote spot is about a mile and a half from the village of Stretham, where there's a pub, post office, basic food shop and takeaway. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site.

Local attractions

Cambridgeshire, as a rule, is a pretty flat place, so don't hesitate to bring your bike along on stays here – there's little chance of getting puffed out pedalling uphill. Riverside rambles are also on the cards: head south from the site along the river Great Ouse if you fancy strolling down to the pub at the Lazy Otter Marina (you can also drive there in about five minutes).  Nearby Ely (15 minutes) has its own waterside area, where restaurants, pubs and art galleries are spaced out along the river. After a spot of lunch, a cream tea or maybe just a bit of window shopping, wander down into town to admire the cathedral or explore Civil War history at Oliver Cromwell's House. There's also a popular market here on Thursdays and at weekends.  Cambridge (25 minutes) has a similar small-town vibe to Ely, but the city is also home to some world-class museums (if you're pressed for time, head to the Fitzwilliam). Green-fingered guests should also take the chance to explore Cambridge University Botanic Gardens and peruse some of the 8,000 plants on show.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very quiet and peaceful site. Wonderful surroundings next to a marina. We didn’t realise that it was the only way in and out for the marina. But that didn’t cause us any problems. On arrival we wasn’t sure where to pitch our caravan. So I ended up having to ring the owners up. They told us to pitch up where we wanted next to any available EHU. Plenty of space available and we had an entire corner to ourselves. Actually we had the entire site to ourselves. The owner came down to greet us after they arrived back from shopping. They were very friendly and helpful. There was a portaloo on site which we had to ourselves as we were the only ones staying there. The local village has a pub, post office and a Chinese takeaway. Great location for Lakenheath to see all the jets. We visited here twice. Cambridge not far away, and quite a few National Trust places to visit. All in all we had a wonderful stay, and if we visit this area again I would definitely stay here.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike here at all.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Considering it is august this campsite was wonderfully quiet. We could pitch up anywhere within the beautiful grounds. There was a lovely lake, lots of woodland and open spaces. The single toilet was fine particularly because there were only 3 other groups of people staying. We only stayed one night but it was great and would definitely go back. You can walk straight out to the river where we also launched our paddle boards. The owner was lovely and really kind. You can walk to the next village where there is a pub and a takeaway (who even deliver to the campsite). Such a beautiful setting and great value for money.

Disliked: You can hear the road noise in the distance but it soon calmed down at night. It's not exactly the M25!

Liked: The non EHU pitches give access to beautiful spots around the water lily filled pond. Tranquil! Portaloo kept spotless. Lovely circular walk from the site - along the river, over it and back.
