Peterborough — your starting point for adventure

Explore Peterborough — before your adventure begins

Picking up your campervan in Peterborough? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Peterborough has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.

The Peterborough vibe

Peterborough is a city with deep roots and a restless energy for reinvention. The Cathedral, with its extraordinary painted wooden ceiling dating to around 1230, anchors the old centre, while Cathedral Square buzzes with markets and live events throughout the year. The Queensgate shopping centre and the cultural quarter around the Key Theatre give the city a straightforward, unpretentious character. It is a place that works well as a launchpad — close to the A1 and the Fens, making it practical for picking up a Camplify campervan and heading out.

Local food and markets

Peterborough's diverse communities have created a genuinely interesting food scene. The Italian Community Centre on Park Road hosts occasional supper nights, while the stretch of Lincoln Road known locally as Little Italy gives way to South Asian grocers and Polish delis further north. The weekly market in Bridge Street serves as a good spot for fresh produce, and Sacrewell Farm Shop near Wansford — just outside the city — sells Fenland vegetables and locally reared meat, perfect for stocking a motorhome kitchen before your trip.

Parks and green spaces

Nene Park stretches along the River Nene on the western edge of the city, encompassing Ferry Meadows, Overton Lake, and miles of walking and cycling paths. It is a surprisingly expansive green corridor for a city of this size. The Embankment along the river closer to the centre offers a shorter stroll, while Thorpe Meadows provides a quieter alternative with views across to the rowing lake. A morning walk through Ferry Meadows sets the right pace before collecting your Camplify campervan from a local owner.

What's on board?

The best thing about a campervan holiday: everything you need is right there with you. Most vehicles from private owners on Camplify are fully equipped — often with more care and attention than you'd find from a commercial hire company.

• Kitchenette with hob, sink and fridge

• Comfortable sleeping areas with bedding or sleeping bag option

• Shower and WC (on many models)

• Camping chairs, table and awning for outdoors

Little extras for an unforgettable experience

Many owners in Peterborough include extras: a coffee maker, Bluetooth speaker, camping crockery or even a bike rack. Check the listing for full details — or message the owner through the Camplify messaging system.

Travelling with pets?

Many Camplify owners welcome dogs and other pets. Use the pet-friendly filter to find vehicles where your four-legged friend is welcome. Some owners even provide dog bowls and blankets.
