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.

What customers say

This is a large, busy, and improving park with lots for families. Guests praised the friendly staff, spacious pitches, and plentiful activities, including the pool and pump track. However, some reviews mention issues with cleanliness in toilet and shower blocks, particularly during peak times, and inconsistencies with pitch allocation. While many enjoyed the park's amenities and atmosphere, a few noted concerns about noise and overcrowding.

Simon C. 1 review

Shelduck (area 1) electric grass touring pitch

Liked Loads to do for my 2 boys who particularly loved the pump track.
Venue food was reasonably priced and good value.

Disliked The use of electric scooters and motorbikes on both the pump track and around the site was ridiculous, no lights on, speeding in the day and night - in my opinion there's a serious accident waiting to happen particularly as most didn't have helmets.
It might have been our pitch but it was noisy with cars driving past after midnight - surely a no traffic movement policy after 10.00 would be sensible?

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're delighted to hear your boys loved the pump track and that you enjoyed the food in The Venue. It's great to know you found it to be good value. Did you know our pump track is based on the famous Silverstone circuit, It's been a huge hit with guests of all ages!

We also really appreciate your constructive feedback. Safety is incredibly important to us, and electric scooters are banned on the park. When our park teams see them being used, they do challenge the behaviour and take appropriate action. That said, you're absolutely right that there is always more we can do, and we'll continue to review how we monitor and enforce this to help keep everyone safe.

We also have a noise policy in place, and we expect all guests to follow our park rules, which are displayed on signs throughout the touring areas. While we can't completely prevent guests from driving after 10:00pm, we do expect everyone to respect the quiet hours and be considerate of others enjoying their holiday.

Thank you as well for recognising the improvements made since Meadow Bay Villages took over. Comments like yours are appreciated, and we'll continue working hard to make the park even better.

Thank you again for your feedback. Keeping our guests safe while they make lasting family memories is it's in our nature.

my prediction is that this will be a premier park within 5 years

Shelduck (area 3) electric grass touring pitch

Liked the Venue area is the image that the park will eventually have, its early days for a much needs revamp which is in progress, it offers a wide range of activities for all age groups

Disliked booking process for the events could be better ie "man the golf shack" this where we expect to collect the clubs & balls, not from the bar! Stocking issues throughout the park bars & ice cream van
An information pack on arrival would be good

Shelduck (area 3) electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Everything was generally good. Plot was good location, club was good, like train and of course sun was out.

Disliked Booking (402GSBK6) The none attendance to site alocation to plots - I was allocated to num 6 on ShelDuck 3 only to find that someone had taken it, I was told to take any plot so we took 67 by toilet block but it never had an electrical hook up so plugged into plots 68/69 hook up ( due to daughter on 68 with 69 empty only find after returning from Club that my lead had moved and was running over road and plugged in by toilet block, so lead was being run over for 2 days.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and that you liked your pitch location, the Club, the park train and, of course, the sunshine!

We're sorry to hear about the confusion with your allocated pitch and the issues you experienced with the electric hook-up. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and find your allocated pitch already occupied, and then have to move your electric lead again later that evening.

Your private feedback regarding Plot 67 on Shelduck and the need for an electrical supply, along with improving the monitoring of pitch allocations, has been shared with the relevant park teams for review. Feedback like yours helps us identify where improvements can be made.

Thank you again for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable stay because it's in our nature to keep improving

Definitely go back

Field 1 electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked We had a great time. The cyclone activity that was on all afternoon was awesome and for FREE!! Evening entertainment was entertaining and had foam party. Facilities were good.

Disliked The bar/restaurant. Takes ages to get served and ordered food and waiting an hour to be told the food wasn’t coming and had shut food orders for a while. Everyone was starving. That’s the only part I say needs improvement.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re delighted to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the Cyclone activity, evening entertainment and foam party it sounds like you made the most of the fun we have on offer!

We completely agree that when our guests visit The Venue for food and drinks, they should receive the service and experience they expect. We’re really sorry to hear about the long wait and the disappointment of finding out your food order couldn’t be fulfilled after waiting so long. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when everyone was hungry.

We have been making changes within The Venue to improve our service moving forward, and your feedback is really valuable in helping us continue to improve.

Thank you again for sharing your experience. Making sure our guests have a fantastic holiday from start to finish is it’s in our nature and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

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

Liked There isn’t much i can write as a positive. We booked billing Aquadrome as an over night stop to break up a long journey and had we not been travelling for over 10 hours we would have turned around and left

Disliked We were held at the check in booth for 25 minutes whilst staff tried to find our booking. Eventually with pitch details in hand we were waved off in a general direction only to find our super pitch occupied. After a trip back to check in we were told to pitch anywhere. All the serviced pitches were occupied. So we ended up on a basic pitch as this was the only pitch free.
I was told that when people don’t like the pitch they have been allocated they move where ever they want and there’s not a lot they can do about it when they refuse to move

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re sorry to hear that your arrival experience wasn’t the smooth start we would want for any guest especially after a 10-hour journey when the only thing on your mind is probably finding your pitch and putting your feet up!

We appreciate your comments regarding the check-in process and pitch allocation. Our teams work hard to welcome guests and get everyone settled as quickly as possible, and we’ll share your feedback with the relevant teams to review how we can make arrivals even smoother.

We’re also sorry to hear about the issues with your allocated pitch. Our Touring team always do their best to manage availability and help guests where possible, particularly during busy periods.

Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope that, should you visit us again, we have the opportunity to provide the easy and enjoyable stay you were hoping for because making guests feel welcome is it’s in our nature.

We’re sorry to hear we didn’t hit the mark on this occasion. It sounds like we had our work cut out for us even the holiday ice cream might have struggled to turn this one around!

Liked There is not much to like about this site,

Disliked Kids flying around the site on bikes, I actually got hit by one. Rubbish everywhere, dogs everywhere

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t quite the experience you were hoping for. Our parks are all about families, fresh air and making memories which means there can sometimes be plenty of energy around the park (and the occasional enthusiastic cyclist zooming past!).

We appreciate your comments about bikes, rubbish and dogs. It can be frustrating when guests don’t make use of the many litter bins available around the park, as keeping our shared spaces clean is something we all play a part in. We also love welcoming our furry friends to the park after all, they’re part of the family too and we ask all dog owners to help us keep the park enjoyable for everyone.

Creating a fun, welcoming environment for families, friends and four-legged companions is what it’s in our nature to do, and our teams will continue to work hard to maintain a great environment for all guests to enjoy.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re delighted to hear you had a great stay overall and that the kids enjoyed all the fun activities we have on offer. It’s fantastic to hear you made the most of everything the park has to offer.

We’re sorry to hear about the rubbish left on your pitch when you arrived and your comments regarding the shower and toilet facilities. Our park teams are at the shower and toilet blocks from first thing in the morning through until late at night, carrying out checks and cleaning throughout the day to help keep these areas to the standard our guests expect.

We appreciate that during busy periods, with lots of families enjoying their holidays, these facilities can become very well used. We’ll continue to work with our teams to monitor these areas and make improvements where needed.

Thank you again for your feedback. Creating fantastic family memories while continuing to improve our guest experience is it’s in our nature.
