Visited on 17th September for a 2 night stay, great to park the motor home and not have to move it to get anywhere. Feet and bikes are all you need. Very pleasant cycle ride to Peterborough all off road through trees and along near the steam railway and bridge over the river. Grandchildren joined us one of the days (granddads birthday) they enjoyed Ferry meadows play park and mini steam train and a good walk round the lake. Nice café but could not get near it as we had clashed with a fun run. Maybe next time. Staff friendly, all facilities spotless (as I expect from a club site)
Lovely site on the edge of the country park, unlike another review I found the wardens friendly and helpful. Maybe the reviewer who's children were shouted at were not behaving, I wasn't on site at the same time so I don't know. The facilities were spotlessly clean and modern. My last site visit was to Black Knowl where the facilities are not only disgraceful they were dangerous despite the efforts of the wardens, what a pleasant change to go to a site living up to the Club's high standards.
Where do l start. All the reviews saying the wardens are wonderfull, well they must have been on Holliday when we're there. We had the most miserable head warden I have ever met. Never will we return to this hell again.
Everyone talks about child friendly certainly not this site, unless your children enjoy being shouted at and constantly blamed for playing.
Hate it
Easy access, good positioned sunny level pitch number 110, transport and cycle path / links to Peterborough, no site 'gotchas'. Nice pub at the top of Ham Lane (Granary), a tranquil family site with good practical thinking wardens - we will be rebooking soon.
I've only just rejoined the caravan club and this is my first stay. If this is what I have to look forward to then I'm impressed. You would not know you were in a city, so quiet. The site is huge and beautiful. The facilities are excellent. The staff are wonderful. I don't think you could ask for more. I let my membership lapse because I went to the continent, WHY???? So pleased I woke up and rejoined.
Our stay was fine and the site is easily up to CC standards. I would mention that the "quiet" side is in places VERY close to the Nene Valley Railway, and the steam trains can be surprisingly loud, running till around 10pm? just a small point for potential bookers to be aware of.
The pitches seemed roomy enough and the area well groomed, but we didn't see any pitches that had "views" (though we didn't get to see all of the site) so whilst a nice location to stay and use as a base, nowhere to open your awning and admire the view.
We didn't have time to explore the park (went to see Peterborough United play), but will definitely go back for a wander around.
Oh and a special mention to the wardens in reception for the loan of a club hammer to help me pitch our new awning for the first time, as well as the sale of numerous heavy duty pegs and a TV cable! Thank you!
We came mid August the first time we had been on a club site as normally stay in cl sites.
The showers and toilets were clean
It's a great place for dog walks
Would recommend for families but not if your hoping for a quiet few days
Excellent site ideally located on the edge of a large country park.
Facilities on the site are the same as all club sites and kept very clean by the wardens, as is the rest of the site.
Split into two areas the quieter side is on the side of the booking in area which also houses the majority of the hard standings. The other site is mainly grass pitches and houses the new play park which has recently been built. This is definitely not the side to go if you want a peaceful time, however it is perfect for children to enjoy their time and basically do what kids do best. Have fun and make a noise.
The country park has numerous activities which are listed on the site website and nearby cycle routes, golf courses, fishing lakes and other water based sports are available. The park is very busy and is always full of people enjoying the environment and every time I have stayed I have never seen any unruly behaviour. Families go there to picnic or have BBQ and generally have fun.
If you like walking there is an easy path to follow which takes you into the centre of Peterborough and also bus routes at the top of Ham Lane if you don't fancy the trek.
The pub at the top of the lane is ideal for a quick refreshment however, if going for a meal I would recommend looking elsewhere. In my experience the food was not very good and the service left a bit to be desired.
The wardens do a tremendous job, especially considering the size of the place.
Can't fault their efforts or friendliness.
On my latest visit there was added security checking vans onto the site. A nice touch as apparently travellers had parked up in the local area.
Definitely recommend a visit
Stayed for two nights to work out my new (to me) Campervan.
Stayed on the West site as I was told this was the quieter side as the other side was mainly families.
I loved being on the edge of the Ferry Meadows/Nene Park with plenty of walking and cycling.
Only thing missing was showers on site. Had I stayed longer of in the middle of summer I would definitely have wanted a shower with all the walking and cycling.
We stayed over the last bank holiday = very busy, the site is amazing staff are very friendly and the new park is superb, tho I did feel for the people who's caravans backed on to the new ball area (a few dents there I think) on the whole we had a fantastic time.
