Great Location

Stones throw from the entrance to Ferry Meadows Country Park with Fantastic Lake, Water-sports and great cycling/walking trails. The site staff and Country Park staff are all friendly and helpful. Toilets and shower blocks are slightly dated but are extremely well maintained and cleaned by the dedicated staff. Peterborough can be easily reached bus or cycle or even a wonderful stroll along the river bank. All in all a site well worth a visit for families, couples and singles.

Good site

Have visited this site on a number of occasions as it is a favourite of ours however, we arrived at 12.47pm and was told by a male warden to come back at 1.00pm. This site has a very large (if not the largest of the sites) arrival area but he wouldn’t let us wait. It was not the welcome that we have always had on previous occasions. The toilet blocks although clean could do with a refurbishment and some of the grass areas around the pitches needed attention. We enjoyed our stay once settled into our pitch but the staff don’t seem to be very happy in their work. I couldn’t put my finger on it whether it was down to the daily chore of sending early arrivals away until 1.00pm or that they just have too much to do each day. Things are changing within this club and I only hope it’s not for the worse.

Good clean site in lovely surrounds

We found the check in efficient and welcoming and the choice of pitches is good. You can go West side for hard standing and some grass and East for mainly grass. The toilet block may appear a little dated but ample toilets and showers and kept impeccably clean. The atmosphere was peaceful with campers all enjoying themselves in the sun and the quiet time was considerately adhered to. Location wise it is nice being able to run/walk/cycle from the van and the park is huge. We went to the cafe but it was the Jubilee weekend and it was a bit crowded and chaotic but it might be better at certain times. I did the parkrun as it was so handy and the 400 odd runners were all very friendly. We would go back if in the area.

3AM unwelcome VISITORS

Sadly to report Bike thieves on site again last week. Luckily I was already awake after a trip to the bathroom, bikes on the back of the van they can cut through one lock but there was also a D lock on there and ran off after I opened the blind at the back of the van. At least one other bike was stolen from the site that night. Very disturbing that these individuals prowl around in the early hours. Caravans opposite also heard them and people came out.

Fantastic place

Just Spent a long weekend here and can't praise it enough. Huge, clean, quiet, friendly helpful staff. Lots to do and a weekend is nowhere near enough. Fantastic for all age groups Families, Singles, couples and even the older generation. Great location next to Nene Park which has lots of activities to take part in, and access into Peterborough for sightseeing. Will definitely be back.

Huge site, not for a long stay

Only stayed one night, in transit from Norfolk to North Wales. After reading other reviews arrived just after 1pm, and was 12th in the queue to check in ! To be fair the wardens did a good job of processing arrivals, allowing them to pitch first and pay later, hence the queue did reduce rapidly. This was our first time here, didn't realise the site was so big ! We didnt look for any shops (nearest 15m walk away) or the pub (10m away) but did have a walk around Nene Park. Was pretty quiet on the path, but very busy in the water with lots of canoes and boats. Not sure I would stay for more than a couple of nights here, but it was pleasant

In need of some upgrading

We arrived at the entrance behind an ice cream van which had the barrier raised by a warden who then walked off and left us waiting to be allowed in - the site needs some signage at the entrance on Ham Lane because later we were stuck again behind two taxis waiting to access the site. The electrical pole/TV aerial socket on our pitch had overgrown bushes at the back which need cutting back plus the water tap at the service point was leaking and dribbling into our Aquaroll. The toilet block was clean and tidy but is in need of refurbishment - the keypad locks on both the gents and ladies entrance doors need replacing and on one occasion the ladies door lock jammed and would not open at all - the cistern lever handles on the WCs seemed to be loose and the flush was poor plus there was no toilet paper or hand wash at times. It was a bit disappointing compared to our previous visits some years ago which is a pity because the site is well located next to Ferry Meadows Country Park and the Nene Valley Railway station is just down the road plus Peterborough city centre is only a few miles away with its magnificent cathedral and shopping centre. And for some reason the directions to the site from the North have been changed from the A1 turn off at Alwalton to a circular route along the A47 which at the moment has extensive roadworks as we found to our cost. However we will probably return at some future date and hope that the site will by then have had some much needed refurbishment.

3rd Visit

This was our 3rd visit and comparing to our last visit, the site especially pitches and facilities are looking rather tired. The pitches need weeding, the facilities need updating, the water points -insulation foam covering the cold water taps were very slimy and mouldy - need replacing. More attention to the cleaning of the service points as small amounts of glass, rubbish, including dog mess was present for the whole of our 3 week stay. That said the site is in a wonderful area with safe cycle routes surrounding it, we used the cycle route through the town out onto the Fens. Last year our daughter who was visiting, used the cycle hire on site and thoroughly enjoyed her trip, this year however even though the CAMC have extended the amount of sites with the cycle hire facility, Ferry Meadows has been removed WHY?? There is cycle hire in Nene Park however it is a lot more expensive and not as convenient as being on site. We will return probably next year and hopefully the site will have had an update.

Fantastic site

This is a Fantastic site our latest visit was for 2 weeks and took in the jubilee weekend A great effort by a few of the visitors The wardens were kept busy and worked hard to keep the site clean and tidy. The facilities in the park are worthy of a visit alone. There are great walks Fantastic for dogs, the cafe give a discount for members not well advertised so have your card ready and ask for it. Plenty to do locally Including steam train. Very helpful wardens as ever. The only disappointment was no papers or ice cream and I always looked forward to the Danish pastries. Shop no longer runs as most of the sites seem to have given up this facility. Makes it difficult to be spontaneous for some items having to dri e to get them.

Weekend Visit

We stopped off here to visit our friends, so only a two night stay.Promptly checked in,via handing over membership cards then finding a pitch first,then popping back to pick up cards and pay. With this method you do seem to save time.We pitched on the west site predominately hardstandings,this part ended up fully booked but not with the overcrowded penned in feeling you can get. As the site is split into two,the east side mainly grass again very nice and well managed. Our one full day spent walking around the country park and next time we visit taking the bikes.
