Camping on site is definitely not possible. Try Googling for "Camping
Duxford". Plenty of hits.

Any room at the Red Lion, Whittlesford? If I could live in a pint of
their Adnams Broadside... :)

No, if you are French then one room with one large bed is just fine :)

If you are British, 4 rooms.

Oh, OK, fair enough. I wonder why? - it's not usually like that.

You could try:

Cambridge Motel
A10 London Rd, Shepreth, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8 6QZ
Tel: [phone]

which is about 8 mile from Cambridge and 5 miles from Duxford on the A10.
It's a nice place but because it is so far out from Cambridge is rarely
busy.

Or if you want to camp, try http://www.appleacrepark.co.uk/welcome.htm

They are based in a village next to Dx. You will have to supply your own
tent or caravan though.

You could try the hotel chains such as Holiday Inn, TraveLodge and Travel
Inn. I've also found www.laterooms.com very useful for finding rooms in
hotels I'd not thought of.

Or you could even try holiday cottage agencies such as Sykes Cottages
(www.sykescottages.co.uk) or Cottages4You (www.cottages4you.com) - you can
often get short breaks for a good price, and I know someone who often books
a self-catering cottage when she's working away on business, as she perfers
it to a hotel!

Declaration of interest: I consult for Sykes, and used to consult for the
C4U, but no, I'm not on commission :-)

Travelodge at Fourwentways and at Central Cambridge claim to have vacancies
