We've just found out the blaze in Burwell was at Stanford Park, a camping and caravan site run by John Stanford.
Image source, Cambs Fire and Rescue ServiceHe told me about 20 people had to be evacuated from their caravans at about 12:00, when fire took hold in outbuildings and a stable block.
No-one was hurt and holidaymakers were moved for a couple of hours as a precaution, as the buildings contained gas cylinders.
Mr Stanford told me his outbuildings had been completely destroyed by the blaze.
"There must have been about 10 engines here at its height," he said. "But most of them have gone and they're just damping down now."

After being an unused substitute at Reading on Friday, Ipswich Town, external striker Leon Best's hoping to make his debut at Derby County tomorrow.
The 29-year-old's arrival at Portman Road was met with a mixed response from fans, concerned by his record of just 10 league goals for six clubs over the past four years.
"Even when I was scoring goals in the Premier League I had doubters," Best said. "You always have doubters but it's yourself you have to convince.
"It's a matter of not following them, if you hear things a lot you might start to believe them. It's a matter of thinking of the highest standards and striving for that."

What do you think? You can send us an email, or join in the Facebook conversation.

Ben Gummer added: "Anyone walking through the Cornhill at six o'clock in the evening, even on a Friday or Saturday evening, will notice that it becomes a dead space, and it often doesn't liven up until the pubs start kicking people out.
"That isn't what it should be."
Ipswich Borough Council denies it is going "back to the drawing board" with its plans to revamp the Cornhill, but admits that the final scheme will be "not exactly the same as the scheme we went out to consultation with".
