Glamping

Nene Park Trust runs two small campsites on the shore of Gunwade Lake in Ferry Meadows country park. The Glade is a grass field for your own tents, with space for up to 15 small to medium tents, each pitch 5m wide by 7m deep, and sunsets over the lake. Lakeview next to it has eight bell tents on wooden decks, sleeping up to six, with matting, a heater, lighting and a charging socket. Bring your own beds and bedding.

There is no room for caravans, campervans or motorhomes. Toilets and showers are in the Nene Outdoors watersports centre close by, which has accessible facilities, and there is a covered shelter with washing-up area, a drinking water tap and a shared fixed barbecue on site. Lakeside Kitchen and Bar and the visitor centre are a short walk away, and campers get 10% off watersports and the cafes. One car space at the adjacent car park is included.
