Caravan Site near to Saffron Walden, Cambridge and Duxford (click photo to see larger image) The caravan site is for Caravan Club members only. To join phone 0800 328 6635 or visit www.caravanclub.co.uk.  

Advance booking is required.

We are on the edge of Great Chesterford on the B184. 

The 2 acre caravan site has pitches at one end with a grassed recreational area covering most of the rest. The ground is well drained, so we rarely have any problem getting caravans and camper vans on or off the site. 

Each pitch has an electric hook-up (10amp max electricity supply), its own tap and its own greywater soakaway system.

Caravan Site, Great Chesterford - near to Saffron Walden, Cambridge and Duxford (click photo to see larger image) The caravan site has a chemical disposal point, plus a WC. 

Because of the problem with freezing, from December to March the WC is not available, and there is only one tap for drinking water available. 

A stone-reinforced grass track loops around the pitches - your pitch can be approached in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, depending on which way you want to face when you get to the pitch. 

Each pitch has a level concrete strip – drive your car over this and stop when your caravan wheels are on it. Camper vans – put either 2 front or 2 rear wheels on concrete strip, or park somewhere over the concrete strip.
