  • Adults-only touring park 15 minutes’ drive from Oakham in Rutland
  • Aqua Park Rutland 15 minutes’ drive, and Burghley House 20 minutes
  • Free use of coarse-fishing lakes; woodland walks and wildlife on site
Here’s chance to hone your fishing skills at Stretton Lakes Touring Park, an adults-only site set in 120 acres of farmland, 15 minutes’ drive from Oakham in the middle of Rutland countryside. All campsite guests have free angling on the park’s seven coarse-fishing lakes – and you don’t need to walk very far, as there’s fishing right in front of every south-facing, hardstanding lakeside pitch. Not too enamoured of fishing? The tourer pitches are surrounded by loads of footpaths, excellent for wanderings with – or without – any accompanying dogs (if your pet gets muddy, don’t fret as the site has its own dedicated canine showers). You’re welcome to get lost in neighbouring Stretton and George Henry woods, and if you tread quietly on your way, you may get to see the fallow deer that also sometimes graze around the pitches. There are two award-winning pubs within walking distance, so you can forget about driving and enjoy a big night out. Book well ahead of time and have a wander down to Stretton or Clipsham villages (both 20 minutes’ walk) for gourmet dining treats. A few practical details now: modern shower facilities are top-notch, with rainfall showers in private cubicles, smart oak washstands and stone basins. You can keep on top of the laundry too, thanks to on-site washing machines and tumble dryers.

What customers say

This adult-only site receives exceptional praise for its immaculate, modern, and well-maintained facilities, particularly the shower and toilet block, often described as hotel-standard. Reviewers highlight the peace and quiet, beautiful lakeside views, generous pitches, and excellent dog walking opportunities, including a secure dog field. The fishing is also a significant draw. Minor points mentioned include limited Wi-Fi signal at pitches and the distance to shops, though the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Very clean, large pitch, quiet site. Showers & toilets excellently well kept with squidgy to use to dry the floor and disinfectant to clean. I am extremely fussy using facilities but these were absolutely top notch. Will definitely be using the site again. So quiet you almost feel you’re the only ones there. Excellent dog walking facilities. Received a lovely text saying if no one was in reception on arrival just choose our space, which we did. Don’t think we’ve ever received a nice text like that from a campsite before.

Local attractions

The UK’s smallest country might be tiny in stature but it certainly packs a sightseeing punch. The local town of Stamford is known for its handsome Georgian architecture, while pretty Oakham (both 15 minutes’ drive) has a Norman castle as well as loads of stylish shops if you’re looking to offload some cash. If it’s picnic weather, journey to Melton Mowbray (25 minutes) to pick up a couple of the local pork pies to eat on your travels. For active adventures with the family, Rutland Water hosts inflatable and floating climbing courses at Aqua Park Rutland (15 minutes), dinghy sailing at Rutland Sailing Club and waterside golf at a nine-hole course (both 20 minutes). Trout fishing and birdwatching for teals, herons and rare ospreys are also possible around the reservoir’s shoreline. Have a wander up to the Iron Age fort at Burrough Hill (half an hour) for far-reaching views across Rutland, and in summer, take a guided tour of ornate Burghley House (20 minutes), an impressive Tudor-era mansion with Capability Brown-designed gardens. If you have young kids with you, give them a break from culture by treating them to gentle rollercoasters and falconry displays at Twinlakes Park (25 minutes).
