WHY THE BARRIER BEFORE THE BARRIER?

I had a lovely weekend's stay at Ferry Meadows - great to cycle into Peterborough as I did this time, or take the train as I've done previously. As always the site and facilities were great. But wait, has there been a mass trespass by unwanted caravanners that would give cause to add an additional barrier before the normal barrier? Otherwise, I'm at a loss to understand the need for such a thing. Not expecting to come up against the barrier, I was too far away to hear what the speaker was saying - I eventually realised the warden was asking for my name which I gave, waited whilst paper was shuffled and was finally 'allowed' in. After I had given my name (again) and checked in, I queried the reason for the extra barrier with the wardens and was told it made people feel safe. There's already a barrier after reception so why wouldn't they feel safe already? I arrived when reception wasn't busy, any more than one caravan/motorhome arriving at the same time must surely cause queuing on to the road - not helpful for the public or the Club's reputation. I was made to feel like public enemy number one for having raised the question at all, I was told "well you're entitled to your opinion" and felt sure I was the topic of conversation after I left reception. On the whole a disappointing and unfriendly arrival. What are we doing as a 'friendly' club here? Creating, yet more, unnecessary rules, just the sort of thing that puts off potential members and broadens the 'rules is rules' reputation the Club has already cultivated. I wondered later if the barrier is simply to prevent any 'naughty' members who arrive early from gaining access - as mentioned by a member below - if so, that would be a sad indictment too.

Our View

The site is well appointed and manicured to a high standard. Access and egress security is very good and well controlled. The toilets and showers are pristinely clean and well maintained. You are close to great facilities including a beefeater, cafe, park and steam railway within walking distance. The taff are very accommodating, friendly, helpful and available. The only negative is the steam railway, it runs till 2100 in the evening and every time it passes the steam whistle is blown very loudly 3 to 4 times. But a small price to pay when staying at such a great site. Thanks John Davis

Don't arrive early

Don't arrive at this site early, we went out in our car one morning during our stay and came back at 11.45am to find a large motorhome at the first barrier, the driver had spoken to the wardens via the intercom system and had been refused entry. That meant we had to reverse out across a busy footpath and busy road to allow this motorhome to reverse out, go and sit down the road for 15 minutes before the wardens would let him in. Why couldn't this motorhome been allowed in to wait in the late night arrivals area which was empty for 15 minutes instead of making two vehicle perform a dangerous manoeuvre. During our stay work was carried out on several of the pitches and although it was rather noisy, we must praise the workmen for a very neat and tidy job.

Great Site in a Great Location

We stayed for 4 nights in late February early March. Ferry Meadows is split over two sites, East and West, although in the winter months the West site only is open and this where the reception is also located. The facilities are of the usual high C&MC standard, and some of the pitches have also very recently been re-laid, as has part of the road around them. The very best part of the Ferry Meadows site is it’s location. Set in the Nene Valley Country Park, there are acres of open space for people of all ages (and their dogs!) to enjoy. There are also three large lakes (reclaimed gravel pits) with an abundance of wildlife to watch and enjoy. Many other reviewers have listed the many other advantages of this excellent site and I can only agree with them. Great Site in a Great Location

Excellent site - spotless facilities.

The site is truly excellent, really well maintained spotless facilities, easy access off the A1, so an ideal stop-over when heading north. It's also immediately adjacent to a wetlands wildlife area with great dog-walking facilities. Really could not fault this site at all.
