  • Peaceful, well-kept 112-acre site on the south 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
You may have visited Rutland Water before, but have you ever spent the night right there on its banks? Well, here’s your chance to do just that, because Lyndon Top is spread out over a peaceful 112 acres on the southern shore, with stunning views over the water. And while those views are wonderful, 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. Barbecues 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. Handy facilities include picnic tables and a chemical disposal point, along with a very smart and well-equipped modern amenities block that houses stylish toilets and showers, a washing-up area, a family bathroom and accessible facilities, Lyndon Top is 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

Vast, well-kept site with great Rutland Water views. Superb hotel-standard loos & showers, loads of space. Friendly staff. Fab for walks/cycles. A few small bits - hooks in showers, lighting, and on-site shop would be nice.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We booked last minute as the weather was beautiful for October, what a stunning location. Right on check in was impressed, fabulous greeting and our pitch over Rutland lake. Plenty of walks straight off the site. We took a walk to nomanton church, and enjoyed amazing sunsets over the lake.
The bathrooms were hands form thr best we’ve ever been too. Great easing up facilities, perfect size pitches.
We look forward to returning again, Rutland is stunning snd the site is spectacular
WiFi is a bit hit and miss but that never bothers us as that isn’t a priority for us, and most sites we’ve been too have similar connections. Always a pleasure to slow life down, enjoy outside for what it offers.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked It’s a brand new site and the facilities make you feel like you’re staying in a hotel. We will be returning back in spring. I just hope other customers look after it because if they don’t it will really let down the place.

Disliked The hooks behind the bathroom doors are stuck on and I think over time won’t be able to hold dry robes or anything of such weight.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely views, good open spaces.
Fancy toilet block

Disliked The toilet block was a long way from our pitch and although it was lovely it did not seem very practical for camping.
There needed to be blinds on the toilet block windows as you could see the urinals from outside.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Incredible views, almost ludicrously luxurious washing and toilet facilities. Great choice of pitches.

Disliked A lack of bins in the toilet and washing up areas. I know I should have brought my own little bag but sometimes there is food waste in the sink after washing up and I ended up having to carry it back to our pitch. Also there are huge windows leading onto the ladies and gents toilets and at night you get a full view of men weeing in the urinals and ladies washing their hands.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We’ve just had an amazing couple of nights here at Lyndon Top. Friendly and well organised welcome and we were shown to our pitch by a lovely gentleman who explained the rules and electric app.
The site is huge but has a few separated areas / fields to choose from.
We requested an EHU pitch close to the facilities and we were lucky enough to be given pitch 29 (which was the closest although still a slight walk to the loo) very grateful for this.
The facilities are modern and absolutely gorgeous. Felt like you were in a hotel, smelt amazing and were always clean! Plenty of toilets and showers (not unisex) all with heated floors.
Couple of outside sinks also for washing up.
We had a slight view of the water which was lovely.
There’s no cafe or shop on site but shops and pubs nearby.
O2 phone signal was rubbish but EE was fine (nothing against the site but just an observation)
Very clean and well kept site and we will be back!

Disliked Nothing …. We loved it

Local attractions

The area immediately around Rutland Water is a real playground for those who love outdoor activities. Rutland Water Golf Club is pretty much next door, and good access to the lakeside trail means you can easily get out to cycle around the entire perimeter or take a walk to Normanton church (an hour’s walk), set on a little spur in the lake. Fishing (for trout and pike) and birdwatching are available in several spots around the lake, while up on the north shore you can play miniature golf, hire watersports kit or bounce across the inflatables at Rutland Aqua Park (15 minutes’ drive). When it’s time for a rest, head to the sandy beach area (10 minutes) or take a cruise across the water (15 minutes). Away from the lake, you may like to stroll among the blooms at Barnsdale Gardens (15 minutes), see the vintage trains at Rocks By Rail Living Ironstone Museum (15 minutes) or step inside some grand buildings with trips to Rockingham Castle (20 minutes) and Burghley House (25 minutes).
