  • Peaceful, well-kept 112-acre site on the shore of Rutland Water
  • A 10-minute drive from Oakham and Uppingham; golf club next door
  • Direct access to the walking/bike path around the lake's edge
Lyndon Top is a well-kept touring park on the shores of Rutland Water, spread over a peaceful 112 acres and with stunning views out over the water. And while those views are indeed tiptop, there’s a fair amount more to see around the lake’s shores so it’s handy that you can set straight out from the site for walks or bike rides on the path that runs all the way around the edge (22 miles in total). On top of that, there’s plenty of choice for other outdoorsy activities, including fly fishing, birdwatching, golf, canoeing and windsurfing (along with boat cruises and lakeside dining if you’re after minimal activity). Think a barbecue at your pitch might be more your kind of thing? Top plan. Such things are allowed at Lyndon Top, and you can pick up whatever supplies you need in Oakham or Uppingham (both 10 minutes’ drive), or while out in Stamford (15 minutes). Back at base, it’s a peaceful setup that welcomes families, couples and solo campers (and dogs, if you’d like to bring them) to spacious pitches in a tree-lined field. It’s really not the place for a party of any sort, so the site doesn’t accept bookings from single-sex groups or other non-family groups.

What customers say

This recently renovated campsite boasts stunning views and exceptionally clean, modern toilet and shower facilities described as hotel-standard. Guests appreciated the spacious pitches, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere. Minor issues mentioned include a lack of cold water at sinks for teeth brushing and limited pot washing space, although overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive. One reviewer experienced issues with a refund following a site closure for refurbishment.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Amazing site.
1. It is a massive site with room for everyone's needs, we chose the field with views over Rutland Water and it was amazing to wake up to this and watch the sun set.
2. There has clearly been an investment recently, brand new facilities, that would be suited in a 5* hotel.
3. Wardens very welcoming and seen every day just checking and saying hello.
4. Plenty to do in the local area.
We will be returning.

Disliked Suggestions nothing to stop me returning.
1. More Hooks in the showers as currently only 1 small hook on the back of the doors.
2. Cold feed in the toilets for doing teeth, currently mixer taps with a fixed temperature.
3. Bins by the washing up facilities for food waste.
