Enjoyed
We have just had a weekend at ferry meadow and is was great only one fault the coded lock on the toilet doors it took me a few goes to get in the lock is high and I am a bit short and it was not only me that found it hard to get in a few time when I went to the showers ladies were trying to get in perhaps key would be better for some. It was very well kept site we will be back ??
great site
Stayed at ferry meadows couple of weeks ago. Was pleasantly suprised to find a brilliant park with fantastic
walks nearby. If you have small children the park is a must. Will definitely return.
good site
This was a great site and the stay was pleasant
nice and peaceful and easy location to get to places around and in Peterborough.
My only gripe is that you have a phone signal right up to the point of the site barrier. BUT once beyond it you loose your signal. and then you have to pay £2.50 a day for the privilage  to use your phone while on site. as soon as you go through the barrier to get off site you get a phone signal once again.

Great Value
With midweek discount it cost just £104 for a week's stay. Lovely to watch the rabbits and squirrels playing round the vans. Adjacent to the country park with miles of good paths round the lakes, ideal for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, also 2 cafes with hot chocolate served with cream and marshmallows to die for! Very pleasant wardens who keep the facilities spotless and one of the best disabled showers we have come across. Noisy at the weekend with children on bikes (and some adults) ignoring the speed limit and one way system, but quiet in the week. We noticed that the motorhome service point was causing difficulties for those wishing to use it as the one way system meant it could only be approached with the wrong side of the vehicle facing the facility unless you had a foreign motorhome or ignored the one way system - something to be sorted. Overall, an enjoyable stay and a site we would return to.
A Good Stay
This was our 3rd visit to Ferry Meadows and our first in March. We stayed midweek and although the site was quite full it was fairly quiet. At this time of the year only the west side was open (all hard standing) but the facilities were well kept and the wardens friendly. Plenty to see and do in the area - Nene Park is on the doorstep with plenty of walking/cycling routes. We even walked into Peterborough and back one day which for us was almost a step too far! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but would probably not wish to stay when the site was completely full in the main season as it would be a great place for families and children with plenty of things for them to do.

Ferry Meadows
A Great site for families, walkers and cyclists. A bit noisy at times, particularly this visit as there was a lot of work going on nearby. my only 'gripe' is the 12 o'clock rule during off peak periods. It's a big site with an excellent approach and entry area, plenty of staff and rarely full - despite the web site saying it is. If you've got Friday off and are out for a long weekend you've lost most of your first day. This doesn't, of course, only apply to Ferry Meadows.
Mid week stay
We had a fantastic time. Great site great location, and plenty to do. Will definately be going back.
Another good weekend at Ferry Meadows
Our first trip of the year to Ferry Meadows. As always, easy access to the site and the usual warm welcome from the Wardens. The site is clean, facilities to the usual high club standards and the wardens complete their daily business in an unobtrusive manner. Two areas of development for consideration. [1] The MWP point is poorly situated and you block entrance to a particular nice area of the site if you use the MWP or refill your water. [2] The club site late availability status showed the site as full, but we counted at least three spare pitches – so do ring on the off chance of getting a pitch at this great site. Thanks again Ferry Meadows / Nene Park for a top weekend of walks and relaxation.
Freddy Mellows
Freddy Mellows (as a friends infant cutely calls it) is our local site, and we used it mid February for two nights to check our new van out. The site is very well kept, with generous pitches (hardstanding) and as usual excellent CC toilet block facilities. The site was quite full when we stayed, and the wifi was adequate for email & browsing.
Mobile reception (EE) poor in some areas, TV signal good for central region through the van’s antenna, Bollard TV connection also available (not tried).
The site is within Nene Park, which has many miles of walks and cycle paths, and connects onto Peterboroughs “green wheel”, a network of local cycle routes around the city.
Nene park facilities are very good, and include a good watersports centre that offers dingy/kayak/windsurfing hire and lessons. There’s also very reasonable day launch if you bring your own gear (currently £5 weekday, £10 weekend day, £15 whole weekend at time of writing.) http://www.neneoutdoors.co.uk/
The park covers a wide area, here’s footage from last August that give some scale to the place ( I’m the one in the fluro green!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgzM-D5KolY
As Freddy is close to a populous city, and th eparks facilities are shared by that population, be security aware, lock stuff up, and you’ll have an excellent base for an break with a huge choice of activities. This site has access to something for everyone, the only exception probably being a beach.
The local caravan dealer is Pioneer at Eye, Peterborough, and they stock a decent range of spares/accessories.
