Easy access, good positioned sunny level pitch number 78 (79 and 80 flooded), 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.
This was the first time we had been away in our caravan so I am making this review without being able to compare with other sites. The site is very to find and is only a few miles from the A1. We received a very warm and friendly welcome despite arriving late and we were offered assistance to set up when I mentioned that it was my first outing. The site was surprisingly busy given that it was mid-December but I found our plot easily enough and embarked on the task of setting up in the dark (won't be doing that again). Morning revealed a very attractive spot with the added benefit of the occasional steam train chugging by on the Nene Valley Railway. The rain kept up pretty incessantly during our stay so we didn't do much exploring,preferring to stay in a cosy pub. Facilities at the site were immaculate and exceeded my expectations so we will definitely be back when the weather improves.

12/11/15. It was a wet and windy weekend on a site that is right on our doorstep, took us 25 mins to get there. Last time we was there must have been 20 years ago. We think the the site is well placed for everything you could need for short or long break. Will be going back after Xmas

We'd never generally consider camping during half terms or school holidays because, being retired, we can go whenever we want - so we usually leave it for those without a choice. We'd gone out of necessity, to attend an old friend's funeral at Cambridge and although Cherry Hinton is nice enough, there is little to do there apart from visit Cambridge and spend. At Ferry Meadows, we get a different vista every month, and autumn makes this a very pretty and photogenic area. It's also fun for the kids, that's why there were only 3 or 4 pitches left when we arrived around 12:30 on Saturday. The steam railway team were up to their halloween tricks, having decorated the station up with cauldron, ghosts and spiders - all in readiness for the Wizard Express late night train visit which we were invited back to see. A good time, lots to see and photograph, kids all seemed to enjoy themselves and they were quiet and in bed (or nearly in bed) by 9pm. Hard standings on all pitches would allow many more to visit - hint hint, unless they enjoy living like mudskippers.
