About Slade Paddock
Tucked into the Cambridgeshire Fens on a working farm, Slade Paddock delivers a surprisingly lively blend of countryside calm and weekend buzz. Flat, well-maintained grass pitches come with electric hook-ups, and the spotless wetroom facilities draw consistent praise from guests who return year after year. The real charm, though, lies in the on-site Humble Pig pub (open Tuesday to Sunday), where a sunny terrace and weekend live music in the marquee create a proper community feel—locals mingle with campers, and the Friday-night Jolly Trotter food van keeps bellies happy.
Dogs are welcome all year, with a dedicated walking track just across the road, and a bus from the village green whisks you into the honey-stone heart of Cambridge in under an hour. Ely, fifteen minutes away by car, tempts with independent restaurants and Oliver Cromwell's House. The site can feel wonderfully tucked-away, though peak-season entertainment means it's far from silent on weekends. Barbecues are allowed on the spacious grounds, and disabled-access showers ensure inclusivity across the board.

What visitors say
We’ve just returned from our 5th stay at Slade Paddock Campsite, and once again it didn’t disappoint! The hosts are fantastic and always make everyone feel so welcome. The whole site is incredibly well thought out, with spacious pitches, plenty of room around the campsite, and spotlessly clean facilities. The food available on site is a great bonus, and the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and welcoming. It’s laid back, but there are sensible rules in place that everyone respects, which helps keep the site such a lovely place to stay. We’ve never had a bad experience here, and there’s honestly nothing negative to say. It’s one of our favourite campsites, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommended!

Lovely campsite well equipped, we stayed for two nights and this site has everything you could want. Will be returning again, thank you to everyone who run the site. Only improvements I could possible suggest is some of the outside tables at the bar need some work. I would suggest this site to anyone passing by the area

What a little gem of a place. Toilets /facilities all clean. Nice big space and importantly grass kept short! Welcoming people, didn't get to try the pub tho!
