  • Pet-friendly site on 235 acres of parkland
  • Half an hour's drive from Silverstone
  • Fishing lakes, bars and restaurants
What a whopper of a site. Award-winning activity and fishing centre Billing Aquadrome is 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 is set an aquadrome surrounded by water, so it 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 a seasonal swimming pool on site; one swimming session is permitted per day and has to be booked in advance. 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.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your feedback we truly appreciate hearing from our guests as it helps us continue to improve. We’ve worked so hard to create a place where families can enjoy themselves, and it’s great to hear you found plenty of fun things to do!

The fishing is definitely a favourite for many of our visitors, with a variety of species like carp, pike, roach, perch, and bream to catch. I wonder what you managed to reel in during your stay?

We’re glad you enjoyed the bars, entertainment (especially for the children), the lake assault course, and crazy golf. A number of new things have been added for this season to keep everyone entertained.

Regarding vehicle movement, we completely understand your concern. While we do not have the land to accommodate cars outside the park, we are always looking at options to improve the situation.

Thanks again for your valuable comments. We hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic stay.

Shelduck (area 5) electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The space , my children loved the bmx track .
Plenty of things to entertain children ( unfortunately we wasn’t there for that ) could easily spend a week there as so much to do

Disliked: The shower cubicle s was poorly ventilated so the spaces in the cubicles where you hang your clothes was very wet leaving you with wet clothes
1 toilet waste area having to queue

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. It’s wonderful to hear that your children loved the pump track and that you found plenty to keep everyone entertained we agree, you could easily spend a week here in fact make it 2 weeks next time!

I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have your clothes getting wet in the shower cubicles. To help with this, we have a delivery of hooks on the way to the park very soon, which will make a big difference in keeping clothes dry and adding convenience during your next visit.

Regarding the toilet waste area and the queues, we completely agree that this isn’t ideal. We are planning to add a second waste pipe as part of our future development to help ease this issue and improve the overall experience.

Thank you again for your honest feedback it really helps us improve and make the park even better for families like yours.

Liked: Entertainment for young kids lots to do for the older kids

Disliked: Showers only on for 15 seconds absolutely ridiculous and very annoying they were cold n shower cubicle too small no where to put your things except on the floor which then got wet . Touring pitches have no lights anywhere making it a accident waiting to happen

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We completely agree that having somewhere to place your clothing in the showers is important, which is why we have a large delivery of hooks on their way to the park hopefully adding that little extra convenience for your next visit.

Regarding the cold showers, we are actively looking into this as we want to ensure no one has a chilly experience unless they choose to! That would spoil anyone’s day, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

We listen carefully to all feedback and act where we are able to make improvements. We’ve invested millions into the park to maintain the safety and wellbeing of all our holiday guests and owners, and we are continuing to implement further improvements. We recognise the importance of lighting on the touring pitches and are currently working on enhancing this to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Thank you again for your honest comments they help us improve and provide the best possible experience for everyone.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Shelduck (area 5) electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Shows at the club house were included and ok

Disliked: Where do I start.
The pitch I reserved and paid for was in use to which I was told - pick any pitch we have 370 here and I can’t police them all. In fairness this isn’t a big deal I still had the electric hook up I paid for.

The site itself is swarming with tramps that are mostly drunk pre 11am. First day on the train ride there and a guy is so drunk at breakfast time that he was kicked off causing all kinds of fuss in front of the kids.

Facilities claim they have been cleanliness checked, unless that was done by a blind person who can’t smell, I beg to differ.

Our children’s bikes were stolen from the bike rack amount many others

Generally felt unsafe and had to lock my motorhome door at night which I have never done. Plus the ball ache of not even being able to leave your bbq outside when you leave your motorhome in case of theft.

Cars going 20/30 miles per hour across the site


Overall dump and I won’t be returning.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the shows at the clubhouse, I’m truly sorry to learn about the other issues you experienced during your stay. That’s certainly not the experience we want for any of our guests.

Please know that your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a zero tolerance policy for antisocial behaviour, and our Welcome Teams are always here to support and protect our owners and holiday guests. I’m very sorry if you felt unsafe that’s never acceptable.

About the vehicle speeds on site, we encourage everyone to drive at 5 mph or less to keep everyone safe. We’re currently working hard on a range of improvements, including installing more signage to help remind drivers and make the park safer for all.

I completely understand your frustration about the cleanliness concerns and the theft of your children’s bikes. We take these matters seriously and are already investigating these issues to ensure we improve going forward.

If you’re open to it, I would welcome the chance to speak with you personally to understand more about your experience and see how we can make things right. Please feel free to reach out via enquiries@meadowbay.com.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future, so we can provide you with the safe and enjoyable holiday you deserve.

Disliked: Could do with more bin areas, but only a short walk from our pitch
No shop currently on site even though it's on the site maps

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

You'll be glad to learn that we're already ahead of you on the bins a large order has been placed and is actually on its way to us as I write this! You'll soon see new bins positioned throughout the park.

We also completely agree with your comments about having an on-park shop. I'm happy to let you know it's in the final stages of setup and will be opening very soon. You'll be able to pick up essentials like bread and milk, among many other handy items.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback it's great to hear from guests who care about the park as much as we do!

Liked: Lovely, clean, tidy and staff friendly

Disliked: This is an only card payment resort which I feel discriminate people who wish to paid by cash. I was not told this or advised about this on booking or arrival at the site
But slot machine are cash doesn’t make sense

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really pleased to hear that you found the park lovely, clean, and our team friendly that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide, and I’m glad that part of your stay met expectations.

I’m genuinely sorry about the inconvenience caused by our card-only payment policy. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been especially when it wasn’t made clear to you during booking or upon arrival. You absolutely should have received a pre-arrival call, which is when we normally go through important details like payment options and other useful information for your stay. I’m so sorry this was missed and will follow up with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

You also raised a really fair point about the slot machines accepting cash I agree it can be confusing. These machines are managed by an external provider, which is why they operate differently from the rest of the park facilities.

Thank you again for your honest feedback it’s invaluable and helps us improve. I really do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother, more enjoyable stay next time.
