 Our party, as usual, was made up of me (Dad), the wife; our two boys aged 9 & 7 and our doggie.
Firstly, and Rutland Caravan and Camping Site make this clear but DO NOT follow Sat-Nav. Please make sure you follow road signs for Greetham and then you will pick the Parks signage.
Once at the site, check-in was straight forward and very pleasant. The wardens (and or staff) ensured that we knew where to pitch and how the van / awning should be arranged for that pitch. They also made sure we knew what was where for whatever we wanted.
The site is generally split into 4 basic areas with an adult’s only area for any unit except tents, a mixed rally field, a mixed electric field and a camping only field.
There is a dog walk on site but dogs are not allowed off the lead here.
Entry and exit to the site is via a barrier card key issued at check-in and (if I remember right) the barrier is automatically locked in the down position between 11pm and 7am. Should you happen to be caught outside the site during these hours, there is ample parking just outside the site and it appears very secure.
During our 5 night stay at Rutland, we always found all showers, toilets, pot washes and any other public access areas to be spotless and always of the highest standards.
There is an extensive playground at this site and during our stay the site was nearly full and yet there was always room for more children to enjoy themselves. The slides play houses, Football pitch and more are all placed within a deep sand basin. My two lads never run out of ideas to play during our stay and it really is one of the better parks I have seen.
The playground, amongst others, are covered by CCTV and it was reassuring to see the late duty Warden appear and tell one of the older lads to calm it as he had spotted this lad throwing stones.
The staff here was working hard all day long to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay and it was not easy as the site was full and I’m sure the only pitch we saw empty must have been a no show.
During our stay we made regularly use of the footpath that runs from the site to the local village and the local stores offers a wide selection of them daily bits that are not stock by the on site shop.
The site is bordered by RAF Cottesmore and although there are daily weekday flights and therefore engine run-ups prior to each flight which may cause some people to be disturbed, we only ever saw interested people stand and watch each take-off. We never noticed any flights taking place outside of 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
Rutland Caravan and Camping Park is a massive project to maintain and run, but all the staff does so without question and we were made to feel very welcome at all times.
Upon leaving, the site invited our input regarding the planned / proposed swimming pool for the site so it appears even more is planned to be added.
During our stay, we visited Rutland Water and its nature reserve (would recommend), Oakham Town, Wicksteed Park (50/50 recommendation), Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre (highly recommend).
We visited Rutland Caravan and Camping Site on our way round the Suffolk / Norfolk area but as we all had a wonderful time here, we all know that we will be returning again.

Visited this site for the second time.It is well run and the toilet/ shower facilities are clean, warm and well maintained.
The pitches are generous and level and the kids loved the play area in the family tent field.
It is ideally situated for Rutland Water where there is lots to do - cycling / watersports / aerial assault course etc.
Only a couple of small gripes - despite ringing earlier on the day of our arrival, I was not told that disposable BBQs were not allowed. This was the case even if they were placed on a cooking stand. Having arrived with loads of meat for a group BBq on the friday, this was a pain! Luckily some other kind campers took pity on us and allowed us to tip our disposable BBq charcoal into their 'proper' BBQ so all was not lost!
Secondly, the fish and chip van did not arrive as we had been advised it would on the Saturday evening.There is a good chippy in Cottesmore which is about 5 miles away so we did not starve!
All in all a good campsite and would come again, albeit rethinking our eating arrangements!

Just got back from this site and loved it. Pro's:
Helpful polite staff, clean showers/toilets, good washing up area, quiet. Kids loved play area (we hardly saw them), but it is on sand, so brought enough back to build a house with! Greetham village is very pretty with a small shop/post office that was reasonably well stocked.
Con's:
Very hard limestone makes pegging out awning or tent a nightmare. We didn't have rock pegs and damaged / ruined loads of pegs, was told by several people, that even rock pegs sometimes hard going.
The wind was a nightmare, put up our new porch awning only to have the poles bent by force of wind (saying that we were on a corner and seemed to be getting the wind from two directions), poles ruined!
Hardstanding is not hardstanding - its pea gravel!
Would definitely go back again.

Booked two pitches in March so that we could be next to friends, however on arrival it was apparent that we would not be on adjoining pitches, but some distance apart. The lady on reception, didn't really seem that interested in our complaint, which was a shame.
However, we didn't let it spoil our stay. We were in the rally field with lots of open space for the children to play. Great play area, and the toilet block was always clean. The site was really quite after 10pm. Due to the really hot weather, the wardens banned the use of disposable bbq's, however gas bbqs and normal charcoal bbq's were still allowed.
The post office in the village now has a separate cafe/coffee shop at the back, which was nice.
This is the fifth time we have stayed at this site and despite the confusion of the pitches, we would return again.

5 Star Site
On arrival the site looked well organised with electric barriers and keycards.
Once booked in we were explained the rules and given direction to our pitches.
The drive to the pitches showed how organised the site was. Good sized fields with very generous sized pitches(marked by a numbered post and yellow boundary posts).
Facilities are excellent, clean tidy & spacious. There is also adult only facilities which make a pleasant change.
A small shop for you essentials and a large sand filled play area for the kids.
Oakham is a 10 minute drive and is an old market town, so good for a nose around.
Greetham is a 5 min walk from the site with several very nice pubs and a post office/ shop.
As all the fields are very flat I was expecting a bit of wind, but whilst the trees around the field showed signs of wind we could fly a kite.
Loved the site and will go back

What a fantastic site, very friendly and helpful staff especially when we had to postpone our trip due to a family emergency. The toilets, showers and washing up facilitates were clean and well kept. Although we don't have children or dogs this park caters for both with a well kitted out play area for children and an area to walk dogs just outside the park.
There is a small shop on site that carries essential items such as bread, milk and toilet rolls. The village is a short walk away and features a quaint church, garden center and a few pubs. Rutland water is about 4 miles away and easily accessible via cycles.
We would definitely go again

We use this site as it is an ideal location for cycling round Rutland Water.
Toilet blocks were ok. Not quite up to caravan club standards yet.
Pubs were great but would recommend to book at weekends as it gets extremely busy.
Flat level site with large pitches. Our daughter loved the large play area.
My only gripe with the site on this visit was that my son had a puncture half way round Rutland reservoir, making us late returning to the site. We were not informed that the barrier card used to exit the site would be deactivated after 4pm.
We were met by an unsympathetic warden who asked for another nights fees, before he would activate the barrier for us to exit and return home. I felt this was rather unreasonable as the site wasn't busy and would like to make other campers aware of this rule.

A lovely weekend on a very nice site. Showers wonderful and staff very very helpful. No noise at night even on the rally field. Only the charming sound of the nearby church bells tolling the hour. Other half a little bit disappointed about lack of fighter plane action after reading other reviews!
One tip. The chip van duly arrived at the site between 5 and 7 and this seemed very popular. But we must recommend the chip shop at Cottesmore (about 5 or 10 mins drive). We chose to eat in. Clean, spotless in fact and the fish and chips were so fresh even though they were closing in half an hour. Tea came in a china tea pot and I noticed that all the cutlery was kept covered up. Mushy peas and curry sauce in china dishes and we were asked twice if our meal was ok. And they were very understanding when we came to pay and found ourselves £1.50 short (we did go back!). After a 23 mile cycle ride this was perfect!

We turned up here unexpectedly and was surprised they could fit us in as it was a scorcher of a weekend. Our reception was friendly and formative. The pitch we were given was in the family field and was huge!
The toilet blocks were clean and the showers ace. There is lots to do in the area so this site would make a great base for a longer stay but we were only there one night so we just sat back and enjoyed the sun.
There is a chip van that visits on a Saturday evening which was well nice.

Just had a great weekend at this lovely site.
The general area is pretty and nearby Rutland Water is gorgeous.
Toilet/shower blocks were excellent - modern and very clean. Showers had very good pressure.
The children's play area was superb and kept our little ones entertained the whole weekend. It is all on sand which gives it a real holiday feel.
The only downside for us was the pitch. We were given a 'super pitch' at no extra charge which has water and waste. The hard standing was actually stones (shingle) and this presented a problem with earwigs. During the day it was fine, come night time the little buggers took over the awning - in every nook and cranny. There were literally hundreds of them.
Also, the small grassed area between pitches needed a good weeding, it was covered in nettles - not the best with small children. The grassed areas of the site did look better kept though.
All in all, a great site in a great location and we will definitely visit again (on a grass pitch).

Lovely site. Very clean facilities, plenty of hot water with good water pressure in the showers!
We quite enjoyed watching the Tornado fighter jets practising vertical take-off & other manoeuvres, but some people may find the noise intrusive.
Site divided into adults only/family areas with toilets & showers in each area. Play area looked really good & shop had a fair stock of basics.
Would recommend to anyone.

Situated just away from the picturesque village of Greetham, the park is easy enough to find if following the instructions given on the website. Upon arrival you come across card operated barriers giving security peace of mind, a card is issued in exchange for your Caravan Club membership card (which is held as a deposit).
Being a Caravan Club site, a high standard is expected and the product on offer is certainly no disappointment. The site is made up of 3 fields, one for camping, one for families and an adults only area. Large area pitches give a feeling of freedom with plenty of room for an awning and car parking and a quick game of football with Tatty hound..
A first class toilet and shower block, closed for an hour each day to allow for thorough cleaning (2 blocks on site so when 1 closed the other remains open).A nice touch was the piped music in the Gents (Heart FM but never mind). At the time of our visit, Mrs. Tatty was suffering from a broken ankle (I keep telling her she is too old for skateboarding but will she listen?) and our request for her to have access to the disabled facilities was favourably received.
There is a large dog walking area containing many trees which must be a paradise for dogs. A waste bin is situated at the entrance of the area. Just a few minutes walk away is Greetham village itself, containing 3 pubs (pub lunches very highly recommended) and a small shop which sells just about everything you would ever need (and a whole lot of stuff you probably wouldn’t).
A little pricey maybe, but you get what you pay for in this life. The park cannot be faulted in any respect with its friendly, very helpful staff, high standards of park upkeep and cleanliness. We will definitely be making another visit.
Footnote: If you want a days fishing then try Homeclose Fishery midway between Oakham and Melton Mowbray. 4 well stocked lakes and 1st class facilities.

Have just come back from a lovely weekend at this pleasant site. We would not normally go to such a big site, preferring the smaller, family run ones but they have divided up the large flat site into smaller, more friendly areas with earth banks.
The only downside was the rather stony ground which was rock hard as there had been no rain for some time, we bent a few pegs but had a couple of rock pegs which came in handy.
The showers were first class and there were plenty of them. There are two shower blocks, one of which is in the 'adults only' field and these tended to be quieter and cleaner because of this.
There was a clearly marked path to the village where we had a very good meal at the Plough.
In all a super site in a lovely area with plenty to do and see, we will be back!

The best showers ever and the Heart FM radio was an added bonus!
I would have liked to stay on the ' adults only ' area, which I think would be acceptable for adults with teenagers that do not surface before 9 or 10!
The Plough pub in the village ( lovely walk ) accepted dogs in the bar and in the garden and food was very good.

As people have already said this is a nice site with plenty of space between pitches and clean facilities.
Family bathroom was good (bath, loo and basin) for dealing with 4 youngsters at once.
It is moderately exposed and (apparently) often quite windy but there are some hedges / banks to help with this. The only problem we had was the soil was ~2 inches deep before hitting stone. This may have been our corner of the family camping field (no one else seems to have mentioned it), but it did cause a few tense moments when pitching in a strong breeze!
