    The number according to Google is 01487 741333. I don't know if that's the one you used.

    It doesn't appear in the search box top right, CLs can usually be found there so maybe best to check with the club office.

    They do have an email Stroudhillpark@gmail.com. On UKCampsites the last review is October 2022. They also have a Facebook page. I noticed a post on Motorhome Fun which suggested that the site was closed. The reviews on Tripadvisor are very mixed to say the least! We last stayed there in 2005 when everything was new. Very unusual at that time for a site to have a "better quality" catering facilities. As they have a Facebook page you would expect some information to be shared of there?

    I think a good while ago Stroud Hill used to be an affiliated site? Anyway, having lived in St.Ives for 48 years I don't think there are any sites with serviced pitches local. You could try ukcampsite, that might turn something up? Just a thought, Crystal Lakes site in Fenstanton used to have serviced pitches but that was 14 years ago!

    Under St Ives Lawns Farm CL, No.51 in the current Site Directory appears to have a tap at each pitch as well as EHU reading the reviews, although this not shown on the site's web page, the  club's web listing or in the current SD. 

    It is listed in the current edition of the Serviced Pitch CLs list.

     My goodness JK, that brings back memories as I recall going swimming in gravel pits around the Fen Stanton/Fen Drayton area in 1970, with my then boyfriend, whose parents had a market garden business, nearby, so I assume that Crystal Lakes must formerly have been gravel pits which have now been turned into fishing lakes, as many often are these days.

    Ha, memories eh?! I had a weekend job before I left school picking tomatoes at the greenhouses in Fen Drayton, it was called the Land Settlement Association then. I used to cycle there along the then A604, that's now the A14! Happy dayslaughing
