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 5) electric grass touring pitch

We’re absolutely thrilled you enjoyed the spacious pitches and made full use of the fun stuff on park

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

Shelduck (area 3) electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Really nicely laid out site. Great range of activities for the kids. Pool is excellent.

Disliked Activities need to be booked before you arrive.
Goose poo (not the parks fault)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the layout of the park, the swimming pool and the wide range of activities available for the children. It is wonderful to know you had such a great stay with us.

We actually have an even bigger and better activities programme for this season, so there is even more to enjoy!

We would always recommend booking activities as early as possible, as they do fill up very quickly during busy periods. Activities can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance.

As for the goose poo one of the joys of being surrounded by nature! It is very much in our nature here to celebrate the wildlife around the park. We are very lucky to have such a large park where Mother Nature is everywhere, and the birds are free to roam safely throughout the grounds.

Our teams do work hard to keep the park clean and tidy for everyone to enjoy.

We do hope to welcome you back again very soon.

Shelduck (area 3) electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very clean -except for goose poo!! Large pitches and lots of open areas. Shower/toilet blocks cleaned every hour.

Disliked Distinct lack of staff. We were given a pitch number, which after driving around 3 times we found didn't exist!! We were then told to go where we liked!! No help

Recommend to friends Visit again

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

We are so pleased to hear that you found the park clean and enjoyed the large pitches, open spaces, and regularly cleaned shower and toilet blocks. Our teams work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our guests have the best possible experience it really is in our nature.

We are very lucky to have so much wildlife freely roaming around our beautiful park, and while the “bird confetti” can sometimes make an appearance, it is all part of the nature and character that so many guests love about Billing Aquadrome.

That said, I am very sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your pitch allocation and that you struggled to find assistance when arriving. This is certainly not the welcome we would want for our guests, and your feedback will be passed over to the relevant team so we can continue improving the arrival experience.

We do hope to welcome you back again very soon.

Perfect location, great facility's and lovely staff.

Shelduck (area 1) electric grass touring pitch

Liked Once we were located to our pitch I had to go back to the site staff for advice as we couldn't find shelduck 1 pitch 16.
The young lad was very accommodating and walked back with me to show us our pitch.
Loved listening to the birds late night early morning.

Disliked The showers ran cold for sometime, but finally heated up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.

We are really pleased to hear that once you were settled on your pitch, our team member was able to assist you and walk you back to ensure you found Shelduck 1, Pitch 16. It’s also lovely to hear you enjoyed listening to the birds in the evening and early morning it’s something we know many of our guests really appreciate.

We are sorry to hear that the showers ran cold for a period of time before heating up. We will make sure this is passed to our maintenance team to review.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your comments, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
