What was great?
location ,close to local ammenities, i.e. pubs, shops,rail station This was our 1st visit to Reedham Ferry / Archers touring park and it won't be the last, the site is well kept, quiet and almost snooker table level, The pitches are well spaced and the largest we have seen thus far, so large in fact that you have a choice of how you set up, either the traditional 'tail in first' or long ways on, giving you the option to have your awning facing the site, The site it-self has all the usual amenities toilet/shower block ( new block scheduled to be built September this year), pot washing area, laundry and chemical waste disposal point, Added to this anglers visiting this site have the option to fish the adjacent river for free or use the well stocked fishing pond on site, the pond could be fished( at the time of our visit) for £5. 00 half day or £7. 50 the full day. As a purely pleasure, fine weather fisherman I had plenty of fun on this pond hitting into some nice mid sized mirror carp, but plenty of sport to be had with the small species too. Reedhamn Ferry site is also dog friendly and has it's own dog walk, the 'ferryman' pub is also dog friendly as is the 'lord nelson ' in Reedham village, usual guidelines for your pets behaviour on site apply The television reception was excellent too either with a directional antenna or sat' dish If it's food and drink your after then this site is for you, the pub at the site entrance the 'ferryman', doe's a large range of pub meals at reasonable prices and they don't scrimp on the portions either. They offer a selection of local real ale's as well as the more traditional wines, beers and spirits, as the pub is right on the river bank, you can eat and drink next to the water as you watch the canal cruisers go by. Alternatively take the scenic river side walk (approx 20 mins), as we did several times, into Reedham village it's self where you'll find 'the lord nelson' and 'the ship' pubs both serving good priced food and drinks and both worth the walk as they are as different to each other as chalk and cheese. Whilst in Reedham you'll also find the post office, fish & chip shop as well as a small general store. A short 10 minute walk from the site is Reedham train station, where you can get to places such as Cromer ( a really lovely little sea side town well worth a visit), in just over an hour, or the historic city of Norwich (approx 20min train ride) with it's cosmopolitan bars, cafes and restaurants as well as it's historic castle and open air market. Great Yarmouth itself is only a short trip by train away too (approx 15 min). As our own kids have all grown up and flown the nest, I can't comment on how child friendly the site is and to be honest, we didn't see any kids on the site during our week long stay. In short Reedham Ferry is a well run, well situated site, that is firmly at the top of our favourites list and one we will be visiting again

Even better if....
on our visit the toilet was a bit dated but has since been modified

What was great?
Nice location next to the ferry with some nice walks. The showers were hot and the toilet block clean.

Even better if....
Throughout our stay we didn't see any one from the site. You arrive and your name is on the board with the pitch number. I would of liked someone to show me the pitch layout, there is a number in the ground with no pitch boundary markings. I set up and found that our awning was on the next pitch parking space so the people next to us had to park at the front. I did offer to move but they were really good and didn't mind at all, if fact they had the same problem when setting up.

What was great?
Easy access, very clean site, clean and well looked after toilet and shower block. Flat grassed areas sheltered by trees or hedgerow. Very charming fishing lake for the pleasure angler with good stock of carp (all sizes). The pub at the entry point to the site has fabulous food (service a tad slow but the food makes up for it). Excellent ales and good selection of wines too. With the passing boat traffic combined with 'campers' then the atmosphere was very good with very friendly and efficient staff.

Even better if....
...the pub stocked Quarter Cask Laphroaig!!! Perhaps some fire bricks made available?
