Campfires

A small grass campsite at the end of Long Lane in Over, close to the River Great Ouse and the RSPB's Ouse Fen reserve. You pick your own patch of level grass and park next to it. It is mainly for tents; panel-van campervans up to 6m are fine but there are no special motorhome facilities.

Toilets are odourless compost loos, with hot showers, wash basins, washing-up sinks and mains drinking water. A small wooded corner is good for hammocks and the kids' natural play. There is no reception, so you follow the welcome board when you arrive.

It is a no-music site with quiet from 11pm. Fires are welcome in raised bowls, which you can borrow free, and firewood is sold on site. Dogs, gazebos and awnings cost nothing extra. It is part of the Greener Camping Club, so each pitch needs a membership, which is added when you book.
