We usually go to small sites and more often than not Adult Only but were going with friends with children to Ferry Meadows as they had been before. When we arrived we were taken aback by the sheer size of the site. We haven't stayed on anything so big either in our camping pre caravan days or now with the van and I must say we both thought "Oh dear!" Well we couldn't have been more wrong. What an awesome site! It was full yet the facilities were fantastic, clean and never a queue. For such a large site and being full it was so peaceful. I think this is down to the layout. We were on the grassed pitch side and the way the pitches have been thought through gives relative privacy. Of course it is by Ferry Meadows which is a fantastic place to spend time and with a steam railway that will take you into Peterborough what more do you want. Well how about a fish & chip van and ice cream van? We used both and the chips were better than I thought. The ice cream was heavenly, the small 99 was large in my book. The only negative was that our friends arrived about an hour before us but weren't allowed to save the pitch next to them, apparently CC rules. I really don't understand why. Even when he went up and said they are 15 mins away they still wouldn't so the children just sat on it so we got it. I shall be asking the CC why. There were lots of signs about bike thefts and we were very security conscious especially as it was obvious that members of the public could wander in. However the wardens patrolled often which was good to see. This is a site we will return to as it's close and really special.
