Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Royalcampers 7 reviews from this member

 Our second visit to this site. We spent 2 weeks her in the middle of August.

Plus side the pitches are really big, the park is fab for the kids, its only a short walk into the village, there's plenty to do around the area.

Bad bits! unfortunately we found the same issues as others mentioned annoying on this visit. The toilets/showers were cleaned every day but not to a really high standard. The staff in the shop were a bit miserable. The no noise rule seems to be abolished from Friday to Sunday as the talking/shouting went well on into the early hours without anything been done!NOT GOOD!

We do have children ourselves so know its impossible to see what they are doing all the time however some children found great delight in pulling the small play houses apart without getting told off, the wardens did see this on cctv as it was going on but still didn't challenge the children or their parents!

This could and should be a great site but perhaps the owners need to take heed of the reviews more.

Reviewer: Mrscb 2 reviews from this member

 We visited as a group of 3 families and were all next to each other in the family field. Large and flat and open but spacious pitches.

The children loved the playground/sandpit (should have taken buckets and spades etc) and spent hours there, hence reason we hardly left the site to explore!

We were very pleased to see the cafe van, had scampi, great burgers and chips etc after pitching on Friday night, it was nice to order food, settle down and eat without having to leave. Also good looking breakfasts, tea, coffee etc, might even leave the cooking things at home next time.

Easy walk into nearby village with 3 pubs and well stocked village shop. We ate at the Plough, great variety of sandwiches and a good roast on Sundays. Small garden for kids

We found the key fob toilets etc not too much of a problem. The family bathroom with bath door was open most of time so kids could go themselves, as lock too high for 6yr olds to reach! They were clean, hot and didn't have to queue at all.

A rather large impersonal site but good facilities and location, so would go again

Reviewer: DaveG23 19 reviews from this member

 Excellent site - We were on the adults side of the site and it was mid week before the school holidays so, although our side was fairly full, the overall site was very quiet. I would guess that the facilities may get a bit stretched if the main part of the site was full.

Pitches were good and not too crowded, the toilet/washroom facilities were good and well maintained and the wardens were cheerful and helpful.

It is easy walking distance into village (with a selection of pubs to enjoy) and also walkable to the reservoir (a long walk but we did it there and and back again).

Would recommend this site

Reviewer: Philp7 7 reviews from this member

 We arrived at the site on a wet Friday evening and I'm sorry but I felt the welcome in reception could have been a bit friendlier.

However we liked the site, a large emplacement in the rally field complete with EHU.

We had our five year old grand daughter with us and she loved what we thought was an excellent play area.

The two toilet blocks were good, loads of hot water and yes there were only a few washing up sinks but this didn't cause us any major problem.

The shop stocked some basics and had some good info' about the surrounding area. They also have a food bar serving breakfast items, snacks and in the evening fish and chips - we had those on Friday, fish very good but chips could be better.

The walk to the village was quick and easy and there you find three pubs and a post office/village store. We tried the Black Horse on the Saturday night - very comfortable, friendly staff and whilst the food wasn't the greatest it was very good value for money. We also visited the Wheatsheaf but only for a drink - pleasant garden.

Overall an enjoyable stay and we would visit again.

Reviewer: Tetley10 9 reviews from this member

 Easy to find and good access with a large vehicle. First impression is of a holiday camp type environment - many children in a sandpit and playground area - barriers needing a pass -printed list of rules.

Staff in reception more interested in computer system failure than meeting and greeting face to face. Pitch in adult field good - very open windy site but trees will mature.

Noise of dogs, radios and children carry across the site. Toilet block good and clean but very busy at key times eg 8am and 9pm.

Reviewer: KandTsMum 3 reviews from this member

 Been here a couple of time and stayed in the family tent field without EHU. The field is great for small kids as you can see them playing in the play area at the end of the field and sit in your tent with a glass of something of you choosing.

Toilets and showers were always clean even when it was raining and I never queued although the key lock entry was a bit annoying. On the other hand not enough washing up sinks as I queued a couple of times and in queues of 3 or 4 people.

Would like EHU in the tent field rather than just in among the caravans because there are a lot of caravans and it is nice to be separated from them but not at the cost of the loss of EHU

Reviewer: Thekirbies 7 reviews from this member

 We stayed here as a group of 5 families - we were allocated pitches beside/opposite each other in the Rally field which worked really well. Those on one side had hook ups, those in the middle didn't.

We really enjoyed this site due to the open expanse for the kids to play, and the playground. Site is safe enough for the kids to ride their bikes around/go to the playground/loos themselves. I found it to be reasonably clean, and the snack van very useful. The village was easy to reach with a lovely little shop and pubs. Dogs welcome.

Downsides - I agree with the other reviews that the staff were a bit cold/impersonal. More smiles and a more relaxed/friendly atmosphere would go a long way. The key to use the loos was a bit of a pain, and I don't understand why they need it as the site is not near 'passers by' who might use the loos. It was windy the first night on the field, and ground was hard, but I can't really see what they can do about this.

I would go there again as on balance I think it is a good, if basic site with everything on hand.

Reviewer: Lauram 9 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for one night only and pitched on the family site. Nice level pitch, ground very very hard and a lot of tent pegs bent before we finally erected our tent. Pitches of average size, so no complaints there.

However there was only one water tap at the far end of the field in the utilities block which was really disappointing- you therefore need a decent water carrier on this site. Good play area in sand for children who loved it, although if you have kids bring a dustpan and brush because they may trail sand back to the tent/caravans.

Bad points which for us would prevent us returning to this site: On arrival required £10 deposit for the barrier which posed a problem as we didn't have the cash. When we asked if they could take cc details we were told no. We later found that they would take cc deposit, however this appeared to depend upon the willingness of the staff on reception.

We were bemused to find that to access the wc/shower block you needed to have a key! Never have we camped on a site where we had to play hunt the key whilst our children hopped from foot to foot trying not to pee in their pants!

The shower / toilet block itself was the dirtiest I have seen on a campsite. Toilet paper, hair, and general dust and dirt all over the floors, hair washbasins dirty, hairdryers broken and bits left on the work tops.

Despite the barriers to the site, the wardens obviously saw fit to allow an ice cream to drive through and round the site mid afternoon, with bells ringing- there followed the usual demands from children to parents everywhere for ice-creams.

Reviewer: Rjscamping 3 reviews from this member

 Site ideally suited for Rutland Water which is beautiful. We hired bikes at the lake £55 for 3.

The site itself was very unsheltered and very windy but well laid out. Toilet blocks clean, showers fantastic with piped music from Radio Heart.

Had to wait for washing up sink so maybe in the peak season this could be a problem as it was a pretty quiet weekend and not a lot of visitors there.

The local village has everything one would need as the campsite shop is not overly stocked, again this may be due to the start of the season!

We did have a couple of hitches at the start of the weekend and we found the wardens could have been more helpful towards us.

All in all a nice weekend was had playing boule, BBQing and falling asleep to the tranquil sound of the church bells chiming each hour.

Reviewer: Daffodil41 48 reviews from this member

 Our second visit to this site still good clean and spacious,on site shop for lovely local eggs and milk.

A short walk to the small village through the gorgeous dog walk,though we do not have a dog. With a small shop for papers and bread milk etc and three pubs, real ale so my OH says and good food in The Plough also dog friendly.

A garden centre a short walk with tasty coffee and breakfast. Only complaint a little noisy from next door farm / timber yard but did not invade evenings.

Adult area with adult toilet block (always clean and no trouble with showers etc) on site which was nice. Bus stop in village. Good play area for children. Few minutes drive to Rutland Water which is worth a visit.

Date of Visit: March 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cadmasa1 19 reviews from this member

 First ever caravan trip made to Rutland Caravan Club. Nice site, we stayed in the adults only field, which had well maintained pitches.

Toilets were very clean, but three showers weren't enough even in March. Lovely dog walk, with a cut through to the village which had a shop and three pubs.

Wardens were very friendly on arrival. Other site facilities were limited, children's play area. Very easy to access off A1.

Rutland water is a must whilst in the area, head to Upper Hambleton and walk around the peninsula and you'll miss all the crowds.

Reviewer: Geebees 10 reviews from this member

 Stayed on adults only section for 2 nights at a weekend. Site was a bit dull and very windy - they could do with more trees/hedges around as it is regimented rows of vans and not many wind breaks.

Showers excellent - hot and powerful. Only 3 but didn't have to queue. Quite a bit of foot traffic through adult only section as that was the way to dog walk and footpath to village.

A bit further from the water than I was expecting and as weather was not brilliant and we didn't want to pack up and move van, we didn't get down to Rutland Water.

Quiet site but we left on a Monday morning and noticed some noise from next door factory/workshop. Short walk to lovely village with 3 pubs and village shop/post office.

Wheatsheaf - very good and staff very friendly - more restaurant food than pub. Plough Inn - very good food and friendly atmosphere.

Reviewer: Tim Wood 12 reviews from this member

 This was the second time we've stayed at this site, think it was 2009 and they've certainly made an effort to improve further. The first time we stayed it was our first ever experience of camping therefore had nothing to benchmark this site against. However, we have now stayed at many and this site ranks right up there.

Nice flat, spacious, grassy pitches (very hard 2-3 inches down though). Toilet block is warm, secure (you're given access key), plentiful hot free showers and, really, is Heart FM that bad?. Many complaints about the piped music in the loos but the wife and I thought it nice.

We only stayed the one night this time but the new 'log cabin' reception is very nice with a few of the basics in the shop section and lots of local information. We walked into the very pretty village and ate at the Plough which was very nice.

Second visit but we will return again as still so many other places to see. 


Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Glyn83 9 reviews from this member

 Visited this site on the last bank holiday of April the site is large and open, as others have mentioned the wardens are friendly and make you welcome.

The motorvan service point is a good sized blocked paved area with a large gully drain serviced by one tap.The site as an adults only area tent and family area with a good playground for the kids.

We stayed on the adults section and we were glad we did because the hard standings which are gravel seemed better spaced and more sheltered from the wind, the roads are crushed stone and very dusty,

We only used the toilet block on the adults part which were clean but surprisingly only had three wc s and three showers which were not enough.

There is a good dog walk and a pleasant walk to the village and its pubs, oddly though the footpath is accessed via the adults only area so there was a steady stream of folk walking past,

If your looking for somewhere to stay to visit the waters then this is ideal,but it does fall short of the caravan club mark, would we return, no

Reviewer: Sammie.u 9 reviews from this member

 It was our first visit to the site and found it to be clean and well maintained. You are given keys to the showers and a swipe card to get in and out of the site upon arrival. It is somewhat unclear as to why you need keys to the showers when the site is secure

The shower facilities on site were also clean, with hot water on tap. There are adjustable shower heads, which are good for the smaller or taller individual as you don't normally get this luxury.

The village of Greetham is a 5 min walk as stated and is very pleasant. We had a drink at The Wheatsheaf as we could sit outside in the beer garden. We had a hard standing pitch but were not able to get our 'screw in' pegs into the ground and so could not put up our awning.

However, it was extremely windy so not a bad thing! It is worth noting that the site is quite exposed to the elements due to the lack of trees in the area to break the wind.

We did telephone ahead for directions prior to our visit, however, staff were not able to direct us in. Upon getting to the site, there were a few occasions where it seemed that simple requests/questions were met with a somewhat aggressive response from staff.

If you are taking a dog with you there is a good exercising field, but you have to keep your dog on a lead. We did not utilise the park facilities, but from what we saw it looked well maintained and fine for children up to the age of 10.
