Children's paradise

Ferry Meadows is a site that we have visited many times with our Grandchildren they absolutely love it. There are two halves to the site one very quiet and the other, which contains the children's play area, can be quite noisy but very handy if you want to keep a close eye on children. We choose to stay on the quiet side then we can go across to the busier side if we want to. If your children love Steam trains then this is a must. Unfortunately the small steam train in the connecting Nene Park is now too expensive it cost £10 for a return trip for 2adults and 2children and only on it for a couple of minutes each way. Very disappointing

Good for a short break

I visit Ferry Meadows a few times a year as it is only an hour’s drive from where I live. The site and it’s facilities are clean and well maintained. There are several walks from the site, both around Ferry Meadows and beyond.

We will be back!!

Not the first time we have been to this site, but it was the first time we stayed on the camping side and we were not let down at all but probably due to it being outside of school holidays. The choices for pitches were very good and all seemed to be relatively flat, well at least ours was and we didn't make any specific point of trying to find one. Facilities were at the expected level for the Club and the closing times for cleaning were definitely to our liking on this side, after 2pm which was great. The washroom/toilet block was kept very clean, but the wardens closed off a number of cubicles to ease cleaning due to the reduced number of pitches in use, but this did not affect their availability; didn't have to wait at any time. The site is well laid out and had a small dog walk for their morning walk, which was ideal providing a quick alternative for their comfort break. I can't comment on what it might be like when busier because for our entire stay we had no units next to use and the only negative we had was due to an unwanted visitor to our awning at night which tried on several times to gain access to the contents of the boxes we leave in their; turned out to a squirrel and boy are there squirrels on this site. The country park next to the site is a walkers delight and apart from one trip to the supermarket our car was redundant. The park provides plenty of walks and cycle routes and the vista is a joy to behold. There are two cafes one at the entrance and the other next to one of the lakes and the food was excellent and not too expensive. There are plenty of dedicated Bar-B-Q areas dotted all over the park for those who want it and the miniature trains, when running, are reasonably priced and run constantly, so you can always get a ride. The wardens are very helpful and friendly, maintaining order without too much of the 'jobs worth' attitude and when they are enforcing the rules are mature and reasonable about it. Overall a great stay and a place for families with or without dogs to stay; we will be back.

Excellent well kept site

First time for us but definitely not the last. We don’t tend to like big sites but this one was quite. Well kept site with spotless toilet block. We found the wardens friendly and busy keeping the site at its best. It’s a stone throw from the park next door we’re you can enjoy some good walks, we found out you can hire a mobility scooter there too.

Excellent Site - Excellent Wardens

We stayed here for quite a few weeks off and on in March/April and I must say it is one of the best run sites the club has to offer. Every day bang on time the wardens arrived to clean the toilet blocks and leave them spotless (even after the weekends, which I must say they were sometimes left disgusting!!). Yes, the wardens did run everything by the book and yes, it was upsetting some people but they do have rules to abide by, and lets face it, they will never do the right thing by everybody. While on our stay we did see a lot of dog owners sneak out of their caravans/motorhomes in the early hours letting their dogs mess just on the grass behind them and then go back in hoping no-one could see them so you can see why the wardens try to stick to the rules and keep the site safe and clean for all that uses it. Anytime we needed help from both Alan and Dee and the other wardens they were more than happy to oblige. Considering how large the site is on both sides it is kept well maintained and safe for all visitors to enjoy. I say well done to the wardens and keep up the good work !!

This was our first visit to site. We were alittle concerned before going about size of site and would it be over crowded. But as laid out you get the impression that you were on a cl site. Dog area could be larger or more areas on site itself but excellent walk around Ferry Meadows itself

Thank You to the team at Ferry Meadows

This will be our sixth visit to Ferry Meadows Caravanning and Camping Site, for us it’s a place where we can escape and hide, from our very hectic day to day life’s. The site is excellent for everyone especially dog owners, as the site is located next to Ferry Meadows Country Park, which offers ample space to walk the dogs. The site has always been maintained well and is very clean and tidy, this is truly a credit to the Wardens and their Assistants. We have found the Wardens and their Assistants very approachable and have taken their advice with helpful hints and tips on setting up our pitch, for that alone we thank you. We don’t normally write reviews but we felt that it was a good way to say thank you to the Wardens and their Assistance, for all the hard work that they do on site which in turn helps us relax, and unwind. Well done, everyone and Thank You Amanda and Tony Wall, and of course the Border Terriers Obi, Conie and Rosie.

Bank Holiday Weekend

Stayed for three nights over the May Day weekend with two grandchildren. Although the site was full, everything was spotlessly clean and tidy. Lovely pitches set into the park environment with plenty of trees. Even with lots of children around, the site was still peaceful. Lovely play area for the kids, and the adjacent country park is brilliant for children. Overall the site is a credit to both the club and the wardens on site.

Truckfest weekend

We stayed here while we attended the Truckfest weekend. Lovely clean site and well run. It was very busy and had to go round the site twice before we found a pitch. We were on the side of the play park which I thought was going to be noisy with kids but it was fine. There's a nice walk to a lovely lake near the site and the other way is a pub called The windmill about 15 minutes walk. I would stay here again if I was visiting Peterborough.

Top quality site

Lovely site in superb location.Cannot understand comments regarding staff as we found them all to be very friendly & efficient!The Head Warden Alan was especially pleasant & in my opinion runs the site superbly. I feel some members go out of their way to look for problems & need to recognise that the rules are voted for by the membership and that the team need to implement them.Our experience has been that they implement them in a friendly manner. We cannot wait for our next visit!
