Great Place for All
Great site. Perfect for getting out and walking in the beautiful country park which is adjacent to the site. We have stayed at this site many many times and never tire of all the walks, facilities and wild life. Even in the busier times we find quiet paths for walking!! Our two dogs love it just as much as we do !!
Great site!
Great site, Wardens are fantastic, very very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Facilities clean and tidy and more then enough cubicles. TV signal is patchy but bollard connection is available which was good. EE phone signal weak and non existent and site WiFi was very slow. 0.28Meg download, 0.01 Upload. Great site, but bear the above in mind if work is required. Plenty of places around with free wifi though. Would go back without a doubt.
Great site thanks
A lovely site within the Ferry Meadows Country Park with easy access to walking paths and activities for children. The steam railway runs along the boundary some weekends and then in the summer. Please note that no provisions are sold at reception "out of season", so bring your own! Friendly wardens and lovely clean and warm facilities. Hottest showers on the network - great for cold winter Caravanning! There's lots of history in the area. Peterborough Cathedral is interesting and do go to Fotheringhay - birthplace of Richard III (of car park fame!), Kathrine of Aragon lived there and Mary Queen of Scots was executed there. These days fantastic food can be had at "The Falcon". Have a look around the village and then have a good lunch before going back to the site.
Surpassed expectations!
Okay, we had bright crisp days so this may have assisted in our joy at staying at Ferry Meadows but that is true of all sites.
Initially we chose this site because it was a convenient journey for us and it was open all year. Peterborough was not on my bucket list of must see locations. How wrong can you be?
Nene Valley Country Park, which Ferry Meadows is part of/adjacent to, is heaven for dog walkers, joggers, cyclists, young families and wildlife enthusiasts alike. If you are in more than one of these categories then it is virtually utopia.
We were told by the information desk at Nene Park that parking rules are changing and that caravans and motorhomes will be allowed for day visitors. If this is correct it makes a good day out or stop over, even if you are not able to stay on Ferry Meadows.
Cannot fault the campsite or wardens. Everything that you expect from the Caravan Club. Clean, friendly and well equipped. I guess that the only issue might be that some pitches seemed a long way from the toilet block so be prepared to use your own when necessary.
For lovers of nostalgia the Nene Valley Railway runs adjacent to the site with a station less than a 100yds away. Sadly not running during our stay.
However we will definitely return and would highly recommend to others too.

Excellent site and Excellent wardens
I have just returned from a 3 night break at Ferry Meadows. Never having been before I was not sure what to expect and I was not disappointed. The site was quite open (west site) this was probably because the trees had no foliage at this time of the year. The facilities on site were spotless. A bonus was the country park only a short walk from the site. I was amazed at how many people were visiting the park. All though it was a bit chilly we managed to complete all the walks around the park. I am sure it is totally different in the summer when the weather is warmer. The wardens on the site were very friendly and helpful with my enquiries (although I only came into contact with 3 of them, Phil and Bev Owen and the other lady who unfortunately I did not get her name). A special thank you to Phil who came to my rescue. On leaving the site to come home I had an embarrassing incident. I am not sure how the caravan became unhitched from the car and the breakaway cable snapped. Phil came and asked us if we were alright then he helped raise the caravan so we could reconnect to the car. He had noticed the cable had snapped and he provided a clip to do a temporary repair so we could get home. He would only accept my thanks. He was not obliged to help as this is not part of his duties but he did. He went above and beyond his duty on this occasion. Once again Phil a very special thank you. Because we were only there a few days we did not venture very far. We will be back and will spend a lot longer next time.

Great Place to Be
A wonderful site with excellent and accommodating wardens despite us not arriving until 21:30 and amending our booking last minute.
Spotless site, excellent facilities on site and locally with Nene Park just a few hundred yards down the road.
We shall be regular visitors in order to visit our daughter and grand daughter who now lives the opposite side of the country but we are happy to visit and make the most of this excellent year round site.
TV reception is awful so you will need satellite or a long coax but if you can put up with this, I highly recommend - just leave enough room for me!!
Love Ferry Meadows
This was my 3rd visit in less than 4 months, I absolutely love this site,
I was going there on my own without my husband, and was my 1st time towing our caravan, and had never pitched up, I rang the site before heading off to see if anyone would be able to park our caravan up for me, and was told yes, which I felt a big weight off my shoulders,
When I arrived the warden was there ready to help me, he showed me to my pitch and parked the caravan up for me, I then set up with great ease, being my first time, I found it much easier than expected,
The site is fab, right next to Nene country park, which has great facilities for dogs and children, I ran every day round the lake,
The facilities are clean and easily accessible,
It is a great site, it has a poor TV reception but make sure you take a long coax lead and you will have no issues as there is a TV connection in the post where the electric is.
Will be returning many more times,
Fabulous site
Just got back from this fab site ,very impressed with everything and the park it was in ,the wardens were so friendly and helpful .so impressive ,can't wait to go back.Beautiful walks ,scenery and wildlife was amazing .peterborough a beautiful city within walking distance or if you haven't a dog ideal to cycle to .
Cannot wait to return to Ferry Meadows
Going back to Ferry Meadows in a couple of weeks, fantastic site, great wardens and spotless site, all the staff work hard to ensure you have a great holiday, had a seasonal pitch here last Autumn and was great, already booked another for this Autumn, this is a great site for dog owners with the gigantic country park outside the site which is doggy paradise, our dog sulks when we have to leave. Easy to get into Peterbourgh with buses every 10 minutes and a great shopping centre ( at least that is what SHMBO tells me ). Cannot praise this site highly enough
