The Orchard at Fen End Farm

The Orchard at Fen End Farm is a picturesque eco site tucked away on a small working farm just under ten miles from Cambridge. Choose from a selection of grass pitches for tent camping with campfires or pick a range of canvas accommodation from a yurt to a tipi, or one of the chic bell tents equipped with beds and log burners. Enjoy the lovely surroundings of the orchard, set nice and close to Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve.

About The Orchard at Fen End Farm

Fen End Farm includes 117 acres of fabulous organic farmland, run with all things eco in mind and offering more than enough space to spread out and relax. Bring your tent and choose from four grass pitches scattered amongst the orchard apple trees. As the parking is in a grass field adjacent to the orchard, wheelbarrows are provided to transport your belongings to your camp. A campfire by your pitch and a few marshmallows is the perfect way to rustle up an evening snack. For glampers, take your pick from a wide range of accommodation. Relax in the handcrafted yurt, which has its own king size bed, wood burner and space for five or cuddle up around the fire pit for an evening under the stars. There are also two traditional bell tents with double beds and a glam tipi with a king size, each with the warmth of a wood burning stove. All include their own fire pit. Sorry, no dogs allowed here.

The Orchard at Fen End Farm is open from 03/05 to 28/09 in 2024 and from 02/05 to 27/09 in 2025.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

A beautiful stay and lovely warm people. It felt very safe. Pleasant, clean and well-thought out facilities. Apple orchard is beautiful, it felt so special to be sleeping among the apple trees. Already planning to return and would recommend it to anyone.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Fantastic stay. One of the best locations we've seen. Love how self-supporting the place is. Setting is beautiful and well-maintained, pitch size very generous, occasional sounds of farm animals, which we like, but could possibly be bothersome. We got the juice and a cider made from the farm; cider was fine, juice was excellent. Close enough to Cambridge that we could cycle out there with our gear. Very reasonably priced for what you get, and so better value than many similarly priced but less nice spots, but it's not quite as budget-friendly as some other pretty decent, small ones within an hour or so. Non-flush toilets might be an issue for some - but I found them always clean, never smelly, frequently maintained/emptied - in fact, much better than many sites' plumbed offerings. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Best of all: unlike most sites, we weren't bothered by raucous people, music, drinking well past kids bedtime. Definitely recommended, and will go again if we get the chance!
