  • 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 a 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.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely setting with superb toilet/shower block and indoor washing up area.
Spacious pitch but a bit of a wind tunnel effect (25) in the open area made it touch and go with the pop-top.
Friendly welcome with good site and local information in the washing up area.
We never made it to the shop (limited open hours) but fantastic that they cater for coeliacs with some gluten free items - this is a rare find!!
Apparently, the pizza truck on Saturdays also has gluten free pizzas available - outstanding!!
Very peaceful site where everyone was super respectful of each other. Dog walking area looked great too.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Excellent site, loved the adults only policy. Brilliant fenced in dog park on site and forest dog walks direct from the site. Best showers and toilet facilities we have ever seen and used on a campsite. Peace and quiet and to top it all off with seeing ducklings that had only been born a few days before our stay.

Disliked Disappointed to see the WiFi wasn’t site wide but we used our phones as hotspots so it didn’t cause a major issue.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Extremely clean site and superb showers/toilet area. Nice helpful staff (thanks, Tracey). Pitches are spacious in themselves but rather close to adjacent ones.
Nice entertainment provided by the ducks and geese!

Disliked It’s almost impossible to manoeuvre a caravan into the pitch without crossing the grass verges (which we’d understandably been asked to avoid doing) unless you have a motor-mover.
Just be aware that there aren’t any pubs or restaurants within walking distance and walking along the local roads would be dangerous (no pavement).

Liked Every pitch faced a lake which was lovely. You could sit and watch the ducks and geese. Beautiful facilities. Spotlessly clean and fresh. Great dog exercise field with massive tree truck logs to do some agility training. Friendly and welcoming. Immaculate site. Highly recommended

Disliked The geese were very noisy at night. If you are a light sleeper they may disturb you.

Local attractions

The UK’s smallest county might be tiny in stature but it certainly packs a sightseeing punch. The local town of Stamford (15 minutes' drive) is known for its handsome Georgian architecture, while pretty Oakham (also 15 minutes) 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, Rutland Water hosts an inflatable assault course 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.
