As we remembered it

We took our grandchildren for Easter after fond memories with our children. Although the site was busy checking in was very well organised and we still like the site and would return. However on 2 occasions we had no electricity once for about 4 hours and no hot water in the shower block which only seemed to happen on our area. This was a pain with young children and wanting to use the awning when they were in bed.I know the site was full and at the start of the season there might be problems but most of us are caravan club members to avoid this.

Just Fab!

My parents had recommended this site to us, so we decided to visit here for the Easter Bank Holiday. Upon arriving at the site we were welcomed by the wardens, they checked us in quickly and provided us with lots of useful info. The site is lovely, spacious and very well kept with lots of little rabbits, squirells and ducks wandering around, my little boy loved it! The facitilies on site are great, there are a couple of kids play areas, the showers were spotless and lovely and warm. The area itself is amazing, there are lots of walks, and cycle ways around the lake, again with a number of play areas for children. During our stay we visited Pigeons Animal Farm, it is a worthwhile trip for families with children, and good value for money too. We would definitely visit this site again, realy enjoyed it :)

Easter break

Wardens were very welcoming the site and facilities spotless again that's thanks to the hard working wardens. Nene park is a beauty to anyone's eyes, nature abounds so can't wait for a chance to return

Easter 2015

Having spent many a lovely weekend at this site, we took some friends with us this Easter. The site is situated in a lovely area, park nearby and it s facilities. I must say that we were quite disappointed this time on our stay. The electric kept going off, the TV signal was also sporadic and the water was cold in the showers on two occasions. I know the site was pretty full but surely knowing this, why was the boiler not kept on! The warden did not turn it on until many complained. One night, which was quite chilly, the electric went off on one section, not ours though. The people complained and told it would be about 4 to 6 hours before the electric company would be out. He had small children and were cold. We had a spare plug on our post so sorted out extension leads for them and plugged them into out spare plug. Why couldn't the wardens suggest this? We did feel like we were being watched too, they were always riding around on their small tractors, checking we were all in the right place. Some went home early because of the lack of hot water. I do feel with the number of pitches on the site that when full the shower block is not sufficient. Otherwise, the site is very nice.

Visited this site over the Easter weekend, it was full. However, this did not detract from the site at all. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the facilities block beautifully maintained. Because of the layout I noticed very little speeding, which can be an issue on some sites, on the east side. I was surprised at the amount of caravans waiting at 11am on Good Friday when I went to reception on another matter. Our email said earliest arrival time 1pm but handbook says noon, they had to be let in at 11.30; since we couldn't leave until after 5pm on Thursday arrival time was irrelevant on this occasion. To me it seems unfair on the staff to cause an issue with access to the actual country park because of early arrivals. There was lots of movement on each of the days we were there, so obviously very popular. The east side was divided into smaller areas so didn't feel too big. Access into the country park couldn't be easier, great for dog walking, bird watching and children playing plus cycling and walking generally. As our son has just moved to the area I'm sure we'll visit again before too long. Wardens were a credit to the club. Wifi was fine for general emails etc but Saturday evening it wouldn't even bring up the club page (which doesn't need to be paid for) but I eventually got on about 10pm, I did need to use it so persisted. There is free Wifi at the cafe in the country park and the pub on the entrance road, both within a short walking distance of the site.

Good clean site, with excellent facilities

We are completely new to caravanning and only ventured fifteen minutes from home on our first trip. We are familiar with Ferry Meadows for dog-walking but were very impressed with the facilities. The shower block was immaculately clean and large, allowing our large brood to shower in complete comfort. The play area was great for our children aged between 6 and 13. The camp shop is small but well equipped (including the forty rock pegs we bought!!) and the staff are very welcoming. The campsite is pet friendly, with long walks on the doorstep. We would highly recommend this time and would gladly revisit, despite it being only on our doorstep.

Fantastic location right next to Nene park. The site is very clean and tidy and presentable. Shower blocks lovely and clean and lots of hot water. Child and pet friendly and staff very helpful. Local town and supermarkets on your doorstep.

Another great holiday!

Another enjoyable visit to this site - our first trip in the caravan this year. Ferry Meadows is not far from home yet gives a sense of 'being away from it all' with pleasant strolls and plenty of wildlife available directly from the site. Facilities are immaculate and the wardens welcoming and friendly. A great site if you have children and/or dogs in tow; plenty to keep everyone amused. And the ice cream van which comes on site in the evenings is well worth a visit!

great

Great site, been many times over the past few years. Only complaint I can make this time is one of the wardens spoiling the fun of a group of children playing lovely making pretend with a load of sticks by moaning at them and throwing them over the fence. Come on caravan club wardens let kids be kids! They were doing no harm as there were no caravans near as site not full!
