  • Pet-friendly site on 235 acres of parkland
  • Half an hour's drive from Silverstone
  • Fishing lakes, bars and restaurants
What a whopper of a site. Award-winning activity and fishing centre Billing Aquadrome is 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 is set an aquadrome surrounded by water, so it 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 a seasonal swimming pool on site; one swimming session is permitted per day and has to be booked in advance. 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.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Shelduck (area 5) powered grass caravan site

Liked: Shows at the club house were included and ok

Disliked: Where do I start.
The pitch I reserved and paid for was in use to which I was told - pick any pitch we have 370 here and I can’t police them all. In fairness this isn’t a big deal I still had the electric hook up I paid for.

The site itself is swarming with tramps that are mostly drunk pre 11am. First day on the train ride there and a guy is so drunk at breakfast time that he was kicked off causing all kinds of fuss in front of the kids.

Facilities claim they have been cleanliness checked, unless that was done by a blind person who can’t smell, I beg to differ.

Our children’s bikes were stolen from the bike rack amount many others

Generally felt unsafe and had to lock my motorhome door at night which I have never done. Plus the ball ache of not even being able to leave your bbq outside when you leave your motorhome in case of theft.

Cars going 20/30 miles per hour across the site


Overall dump and I won’t be returning.

Shelduck (area 5) powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Lovely, clean, tidy and staff friendly

Disliked: This is an only card payment resort which I feel discriminate people who wish to paid by cash. I was not told this or advised about this on booking or arrival at the site
But slot machine are cash doesn’t make sense

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really pleased to hear that you found the park lovely, clean, and our team friendly that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide, and I’m glad that part of your stay met expectations.

I’m genuinely sorry about the inconvenience caused by our card-only payment policy. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been especially when it wasn’t made clear to you during booking or upon arrival. You absolutely should have received a pre-arrival call, which is when we normally go through important details like payment options and other useful information for your stay. I’m so sorry this was missed and will follow up with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

You also raised a really fair point about the slot machines accepting cash I agree it can be confusing. These machines are managed by an external provider, which is why they operate differently from the rest of the park facilities.

Thank you again for your honest feedback it’s invaluable and helps us improve. I really do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother, more enjoyable stay next time.

Local attractions

You may opt to stay on site for your full holiday, but if you're up for exploring the local area, there's plenty to see and do to keep you entertained. The aquadrome is half an hour's drive from Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix and the British round of the MotoGP, 25 minutes from Santa Pod Raceway and 40 minutes from Rockingham Motor Speedway. For racing of a non-motorised style, Towcester Racecourse is within half an hour. It's about an hour from here to the UK's biggest zoo at Whipsnade, and to Europe's biggest artificial lake at Rutland Water. About 35 minutes' drive north is Market Harborough and the massive adventure play centre Mini Mischief.
