General site overview

  • Pet-friendly site on 235 acres of parkland in Northamptonshire
  • Half an hour's drive from Silverstone; Northampton 15 minutes
  • Fishing lakes, bars and restaurants
Activity and fishing centre Billing Aquadrome is just a couple of miles from Great Billing in Northamptonshire and set over 235 acres of green parkland and lakes. With so much to do around its grounds, it's likely that you'll want to stay put here for your entire trip… and if you do desire to speed off somewhere, Silverstone is only half an hour's drive away. The site has fishing lakes of varying sizes and depths where avid anglers can cast off for carp and common mirror carp, catfish, pike, roach, bream, tench and rudd. Bring along your own fishing kit and an up-to-date licence, and buy a fishing ticket from the team if you want to try your luck. Away from the water, the many other facilities include bars and restaurants (yes, plural, plus a beer garden). Just take note that the bar, beer garden and restaurant are all adults-only from 10pm. There is also a seasonal swimming pool on site. And speaking of the essentials, there are takeaways, a supermarket and shops right on site too, as well as picnic areas, Sky Sports and – if you need your barnet tamed after all that activity – a hairdresser's.

Shelduck (area 3) fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Location and lots to do. Pitch sizes were good.

Disliked No grey waste on super pitch. Tourist check-in area was causing lots of queues every day. So those who had already booked in had to wait in the queue.
No motorhome grey waste disposal.

- The shop on site is well stocked

Disliked - The pitch was advertised as a 10x10 though the pitch is smaller than this, site staff reported the max tent size within this pitch is 6x4. Though staff were friendly and ok that ours was borderline
- The camping/touring toilets include showers which sometimes means waiting for toilets when more people are showering in the morning

Shelduck 1 electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches, plenty of fun stuff for the kids to do, loved the pump track, pool, arcade, clean toilets, showers, had a great weekend

Disliked Food options at The Venue weren’t great

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for sharing this it sounds like you packed a lot into your weekend with us!

We’re absolutely thrilled you enjoyed the spacious pitches and made full use of the fun stuff on park
pump track,
pool, arcade… sounds like the children definitely went home well and truly worn out (the best kind of holiday result!).

It’s also lovely to hear the toilets and showers were clean our Touring Teams work so hard to ensure our holiday guest have the best time that’s exactly the kind of experience we love to deliver, and it really is in our nature.

We’re sorry the food options at The Venue didn’t quite hit the mark for you this time. That’s really helpful feedback and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team as we’re always looking at ways to improve and keep things exciting.

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this we’d love to have you back again soon for round two of fun, games, and more memory-making moments!

Nice clean site, plenty to do…

Field 1 electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked Great facilities on site and the toilet block appeared to be new. Staying only the one night, we didn't manage to explore as much as I'd have liked but will return again for sure. Although the site was not technically open for campers (a mess up on Pitch Up's side I was told), we were able to enjoy the swimming pool, which the kids love, the BMX part and the train that went around the lake.

Disliked The toilets in The Venue were never clean, even when I popped in early on departure day and it wasn't busy, to be honest it looks as messy as it was the night before and I'm not convinced it was actually cleaned after closing. Although the new toilet block was fab, I fear there aren't enough toilets for the size of site it is.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the facilities on park and that the children loved the swimming pool, BMX park, and our park train around the lake. It is wonderful to know you are already looking to return again soon. Our teams work tirelessly behind the scenes to continue improving the park, and it really is in our nature to create fun, memory-making experiences for families.

We are also very pleased that you noticed our newer toilet block and the ongoing investment across the park.

I am, however, very sorry to hear your comments regarding the cleanliness of the toilets within The Venue. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and your feedback will be passed directly to the relevant team for review and improvement.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we truly look forward to welcoming you and your family back again soon.

Good site for children.

Shelduck (area 2) electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Pitches were OK, but a bit narrow. Showers and toilets were clean with enough hot water. 4G reception was good.

Disliked There were no pegs in the showers to hang clothes, just 2 small hanging buckets. The shower spray reached the door, so it was difficilt to keep your clothes dry.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.

We are pleased to hear you found the shower and toilet facilities clean with plenty of hot water, and that the 4G reception was good during your stay.

We do appreciate your comments regarding the shower facilities and the lack of hooks for clothing. Guest feedback is incredibly important to us and helps us continue improving the experience for everyone staying with us.

It is very much in our nature to listen to our guests and continue making improvements across the park wherever possible.

We do hope to welcome you back again soon

Liked The whole place has had a full refurb I think it looks amazing. The shower block and toilets were always so clean too just the heating went off in there and put me off having a shower but that’s all loved our weekend of camping

Disliked No dislikes

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that you loved your camping weekend with us and that you noticed all the improvements around the park.

We have invested millions back into the holiday park, and it means so much to hear such positive comments about the refurbishment and the cleanliness of our shower and toilet facilities. Our teams work tirelessly behind the scenes every single day to ensure our holiday guests have the very best experience possible it really is in our nature.

I am sorry to hear the heating went off in the shower block during your stay, and we will certainly pass this feedback over to out touring manager to rake a look.

Thank you again for your kind comments, and we truly hope to welcome you back again very soon for even more memory-making adventures with us!
