First solo trip away!

My first solo trip to a club site since passing my test. Not too far to travel and a perfect welcome from the wardens when we arrived. We found the pitch we liked and after backing carefully in, one warden explained that the marker had has been moved and I needed to move again. He was extremely helpful and also have gave me invaluable advice with regards to towing and caravanning in general - thank you! The site was great, excellent access to the country park and also perfectly placed for catching the steam train too. Already booked to return in October!

Best play area on the circuit

Our 4th visit to Ferry Meadows - for a week in the summer hols. Our teen boys were delighted to find the play area has recently been renewed. Now includes a muga (for football/basketball) and loads of fab play equipment for all ages of children. Truly is the best one we've found at any CC site and a real social area for children to meet. This is located on the east side of the site, there is a small play area on the west side, but that side seems to be quieter (almost for adults only). Fantastic location with Nene Park on the doorstep - perfect for cycling as a family. Lots of watersports/fishing and more play areas available within Nene Park itself. Peterborough is a lovely city - fantastic outdoor Lido in the city centre, and family-friendly greyhound racing stadium. Wisbech roller rink also a favourite. Wardens helpful and courteous - site is large but doesn't feel so. Really is a great all-round destination with something for everyone, come rain or shine. Highly recommended.

Lovely site

We stayed here for a long weekend with family. Club directions were fairly good and the arrivals area was easy to find. The site has a number of security barriers which you need an access card for. However, you are only given a card once you have chosen a pitch and informed reception where you are. So we spent several frustrating minutes trying to get someone to let us through the barriers! We stayed on the East field whch was lovely, really spacious pitches and set out nicely so it had a secluded feel to it. Warden came to tell us off for not being right up against the pitch marker (no one on our field was) but did kindly let us stay put and even helped us put up our awning. Great pitch - mainly level and despite tons of rain it didn't get muddy at all. Play area was fantastic and safe and I was happy to let my son go off and play. Lovely clean toilets and showers, never had to wait and VERY HOT water. Slight niggle was the coded door entry - too long for my son to remember and even written down he couldn't manage turning the lock, so I spent most of the weekend taking him to the loo! Location was excellent and right next to the country park. Would definitely visit again

Great site

Stayed for the first time for one night on the way down to the south coast. Great welcome at reception and very helpful pointing out vacant pitches without having to drive around both sides of the site. Facilities very clean. Only there from early afternoon but saw enough to make sure we will come back for a longer stay. Adjacent to huge park and lakes excellent for cycling and walking the dogs. Drove into Peterborough for a meal and walk round and it seemed very nice.

Our annual holiday at Ferry Meadows

We just love coming to the site every year but have noticed the shower cubicles on the east side have become rotten and the boards filled in with grey sealant. The showers are really due a refurbishment, especially when you compare them to the showers on the west side. Another big disappointment is the lack of rule enforcement on this site. Most of the dogs on the east side where not on a leads and even fouling on other people's pitches. I think it is time now for the Caravan club to ask when people are checking in have you a dog and if so it should be on a lead at all times and clean up after them. More signs are needed about the rules, as I am sure a lot of members do not read them in the caravan book.

Something for everyone

Great site in a great location. Plenty of variety of things to do within short distances.Very pleased to be talking to the Warden at 21.45 and witness him advising 3 drivers regarding their vehicle speed on site. Why do some find this so difficult to cope with, especially when there are still young children moving about? Wardens get my vote for a well managed, clean and tidy site and an insistence that people follow the rules for everyone's benefit.

Abbey's play park heaven

Abbey loves to be by the park, playing with the other children. We get on the grass, at the back of the park and she is safe to play around. All areas are clean and well kept, by the wardens, even after big weekends and Bank Holidays. Its our 3rd visit here and we will return......

Very enjoyable experience

My wife and I decided to visit Ferry Meadows as a three night stopover while travelling to Cromer. We found the site clean, tidy and well laid out. Although it was recommended that we stay on the 'Reception' side by friends we thought that the other area seemed to have a more rural atmosphere. The Country Park offers several choices for an enjoyable one or two mile walk plus two choices of refreshment location. The site appears to have excellent children's play facilities and does fill up at weekends. I therefore tend to agree with another reviewer in that if one of your prime requirement is peace and quiet don't visit on weekends or school holidays. That said, we will definitely return for a longer stay.

What an exceeptional site

This was our first time at Ferry Meadows and were very impressed with the overall site and access to the Country Park. It is one of the nicest club sites that we have been to and will be going back as soon as we can. Didn't rate the fish and chips though but the ice cream was delicious.
