About Fen End Farm
Tucked into the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens, this organic farm with its own apple orchard offers just a handful of non-electric grass pitches—perfect for those seeking a properly remote, back-to-basics escape. Campfires and barbecues are positively encouraged, so you can settle in for starlit evenings after days exploring the 117 acres of surrounding farmland or wandering the on-site woodland. Birdlife here is exceptional: barn owls, lapwings and skylarks are regular visitors, and the National Trust's Wicken Fen Nature Reserve lies close by for serious wildlife watchers.
Facilities are simple but thoughtful—a shower shack with hot water and eco compost loos, plus a parent and baby washroom. The Apple Hut provides washing-up sinks, kettles and a communal fridge. Local produce is available on site, though the village of Cottenham (two miles away) has shops and pubs if supplies run low. Cambridge's colleges and waterways are an easy cycle along good bike paths, making this a brilliant springboard for car-free exploration.

What visitors say
We loved our stay at Fen End Farm! The apple orchard is beautiful, and each pitch is nestled within high grass, providing plenty of privacy. The facilities were clean and tidy, and having a free fire pit was a great touch. Cottenham is just a short drive away and has a nice pub and a chip shop. My son especially enjoyed seeing the horses, cows, and chickens, and the cherry on top was watching the aircraft pull out from the hangar! The apple juice was amazing—fresh, crisp, and made with only two ingredients. We ended up buying three bottles. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again!

A Charming Stay at Fen End Farm Fen End Farm in Cottenham is a delightful eco-campsite, just 10 miles from Cambridge. Nestled in an organic apple orchard, the serene setting with private pitches and glamping options like yurts is perfect for families and nature lovers. Host Amy’s warm, friendly welcome made us feel instantly at home. The clean facilities, including hot showers and compost toilets powered by renewable energy, were impressive. Kids loved the bug-hunting kits and safe play areas, while we enjoyed cozy campfires and the farm’s delicious apple juice and organic burgers. With its eco-conscious ethos and peaceful vibe, Fen End Farm is a gem for a relaxing, sustainable getaway. Highly recommend!

A wonderful rural website, with great facilities and helpful friendly owners. We loved that cooking on camp fires was not just tolerated but encouraged in keeping with a strong sustainability vibe at this site. Toilet and washing facilities were spotlessly clean and supplied with very hot water and eco friendly toiletries. A useful cabin was also provided for washing pots and pans storing cold items and generally hiding if the weather outside is unkind. My partner loved camping in the orchard and being allowed to help herself to the apples, I think she left a few! Oh and the produce available please try it for yourself we certainly enjoyed our evening drinking the cider and eating the burgers.
