What customers say
Highly recommended, quiet, adult-only site. Spacious, well-kept pitches with great Rutland Water views. Spotless facilities, especially showers. Fabulous location for walks/cycling. Some pitches sloped, no shop or hot wash-up water, but guests plan return visits.

Great site with amazing views
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked The views from our pitch were amazing. The pitch was well kept and a great size. The showers and toilets were always very clean together with the washing station. A super site and highly recommended.
Disliked Having to leave the fantastic view and sad that we couldn’t buy a bottle of wine from the lovely grapes growing!! 😀

Now we know what to expect, we will be fully prepared for if use again
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Basic site with small outdoor shower block and toilets. Showers were excellent (up there with the best I have seen on any campsite. Each visitor had their own pitch that was enclosed in hedging giving lots of privacy.
Disliked All pitches were on a slope meaning we had to park side on to the slope and use wheel levellers but even then we were still sloping to the side.
No on-sight shop. We went fully equipped so be aware of this.
It was a bit pricey for what it was but as it was right next to the venue for the Global Bird Fair it made getting to and from it very easy...which made up for the price a little.

Stay else where
Anonymous Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Close proximity to the water.
Disliked Arrived and the access gate was locked.
Called the contact number, no response.
Managed to gain access but no reception or persons responsible on site. Therefore no idea what to do or where to go.
Site generally untidy, uncut high hedges obscuring views of the lake. Booked for two night left the next morning.
The worst campervan site experience we’ve had.
Certainly no worth the money.

Quiet and peaceful site with a glorious view
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Loved the site, absolutely beautiful view from a well laid out and clean site. Very quiet when I stayed. NOT a complaint at all, but I could have done with some signposts to the loos, it took me a while to find them!
Disliked Nothing at all, I will definitely be going back
