 Just had a lovely 4 night stay on one of the new Lakeside pitches. Perfect for fishing with 2 pegs right outside of your van. Great fishing, lots of good fish to be caught. New toilet facilities 2 each for ladies & men as ensuite type rooms so if busy you could have a wait just to use the loo, however as only 4 vans on site during our stay no problems. There also needs to be a mop & bucket provided in future but it is all new so the owners are still getting it all settled. Fantastic sized pitches fabulous views & very peaceful, no noise at all. Fabulous on-site tea rooms that do the most wonderful breakfast with very pleasant & friendly staff. Great for breakfast on the day you leave, sets you up for the day. Market Harborough is a great little town just under 2 miles by road or it can be walked along the cycle/walking track that runs along the site. Nice shops plus Sainsburys, Waitrose & Co-op for all your provisions. Nothing negative to be said. Just don't do as we did & turn into the farm shop called Waterloo farm shop, instead of finding Waterloo farm leisure as it is very tight to turn round in! The access to Waterloo farm leisure is great with a long drive but lots of passing places. We will be back.

Stayed over a very busy bank holiday weekend. The site is ideally placed for the Brampton Valley Way which is great for cycling/walking. It's approx 40 minutes walk into Market Harborough which has some nice shops.
Pitches are very large and have water and waste disposal. The toilets are in with the showers (2 for each) so on a busy weekend if you only wanted the toilet sometimes it was a bit of a wait if they were in the shower.
There is a nice cafe on site and also a pitch and putt £4 per person all equipment provided.
Found all the staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go again.
Just a note to anyone who goes and is given a terms and conditions list, it sounds quite harsh on some points and it may need the owners to have another look at these. It states that you can't walk around the lakes but when we asked it was explained that the lake by the cafe is sometimes used for competitions but it is ok to walk around the other one by the pitch and putt. If you are in any doubt about any of the 'rules' ask it might not be as bad as you think.

Have just returned from a very enjoyable four days at this site. We have never fished before but went with friends who are very keen fishermen. Even for us the site held us there for the four days, we fished, cycled, played pitch & putt and had some very enjoyable walks.
We had intended to use the site to visit local gardens, but we never found the time. So we will return to this site that has something for everybody.
All the facilities were excellent and without exception owners and other campers were the friendliest we have ever found. Pitches are huge and what a pleasant change not to have to pay extra for things like putting up an awning.
We walked both ways along the cycle path and I agree do not forget to take a torch for the tunnel. We took some beautiful video and the photographs say it all.
We did not have time to try the food at the site but perhaps when we return a Saturday night dinner in the restaurant will be on our list of things still to do.
Well done to this site, it should be a bench mark for some others.

We were passing through so only stayed overnight. Access was fine for our 8. 5 metre motorhome. We stayed on the family site which consists of seven pitches. All are hard standing with water and drainage on pitch. Grey water drainage was via a tiny grille about 9 inches square, it was impossible to empty a Wastemaster without some overspill. The adjacent pitch had its grille surrounded by a concrete lip, much better, so I suspect our lone grille was an oversight, but I didn't check all of the other pitches. The toilets were nice and clean but they need to be checked more often, the men's toilet had run out of paper at 0830 and it had still not been replaced by the time we left at 1130. Moans apart, I would use this site again. Nearest pub is about a mile away in Great Oxenden. The Brampton Valley cycle/walk (an old railway track) runs by the site, if you use it you should know that near the village it goes through a 400 metre tunnel - take a torch.

Had a long weekend stay in July 2013. Site was easy to locate and booking for availability was excellent. On arrival was greeted very nicely and taken down to our pitch which was as described by the lake side. The pitch size was large and on hard standing, water points where next to each pitch 1 tap to each pitch and facility for putting waste water direct to drain.
Electric points where also within 10m so no issues.
Able to put up awning leaving around 6ft from awning to lake side excellent for fishing.
Fishing was great Carp, Tench, Barble, Bream and plenty of silver fish. Good sizes and quality of fish brilliant.
Café and shop on site which was very clean and well organised.
Toilets and shower facilities have been upgraded in new log cabin each having two toilets and showers which are lockable from inside and secure access.
1 piece of advice for all if you book a lakeside and intend to put up an awning make sure you have metal pegs, plastic ones will not be able to be used due to ground type.
I would recommend this site to all others and would be returning back for another visit.
Peaceful and well maintained site a joy to spend time away and have a great place to go to.
Regards Rob

We booked at short notice and the owners were very accommodating. Booked three night and stayed for four because we were so impressed.
We arrived late (8pm ish) and the owner came out to meet us and introduce himself. Really friendly.
The site has two parts to it - adult only and family sides. There is a fishing lake and café on the site which does cooked breakfasts.
The pitch on the family side was very large and the toilet / shower facilities were excellent.
Level pitches on hardstanding.
Nice walk along the disused railway line which you can drop down onto at the site. (Take a torch as there is a tunnel to walk through which is a great adventure but too dark to go through without light - over 400 m long!)
Will DEFINITELY return.
Only thing to improve would be to give all campers a toilet key - they were unlocked for us but then were re-locked part way through our stay, the key lost and so the gents could not be used.
Ideally located for lots of great days out - we did Cambridge and East Carlton country park - free day out (take a picnic)

Stayed for the May bank holiday. The site is peaceful and the owners were really friendly and helpful. The Facilities one of each Men's & Ladies Loo, one shower and a laundry room were clean and warm at all times. There is a cafe/tea room on site and Market Harborough is 2. 5 Miles down a cycle track (disused railway line Brampton Valley Way Cycle / Walk way) where there are pubs, restaurants and shops. The other way down the cycle track 7 miles is Lamport Hall, carry on cycling and you get to Northampton!
The pitches aren't bowling greens but are large and by our standards perfectly acceptable. The owner took the trouble to visit us on our first morning to apologize for the pile of rubble his contractors had left next to our pitch and that they were going to move it that day. They are making a lot of improvements there. Some pitches may need an extra long hook up cable. The owners were able to lend us one when our cable didn't reach.

This site no longer adults only, spent an enjoyable week, and luckily the two children on the site were quiet. We always chose this site for the peace and quiet. It is still very peaceful, and very convenient for dog walking on the disused railway track that runs parallel to the site. Only one shower servicing the site which can have up to 10 units at a time, so this could mean queueing for the shower.

We spent six nights here in early November 2011.
Waterloo Farm Leisure is a complex of facilities including a series of fishing lakes, a 9 and 18 hole “pitch and putt” golf course, Bed and Breakfast, two wooden lodges overlooking the lake, a tea room [open 7 days a week], and, of course, a CS site and a tenting field! It does resemble a commercial site to a certain degree though.
There are shower and toilet facilities close to the pitches and each hardstanding has it’s own electric hook-up and water supply.
The site is superbly located for direct access onto the Brampton Valley Way which is the old disused railway line from Market Harborough to Northampton. Also running through the area are the Midshires Way, the Jurassic Way & the Macmillan Way, so there are an excellent range of well signed walks.
Foxton Locks are easily accessible by bike by heading into Market Harborough and finding NCN Route 6 which follows the canal tow path to the Locks. It was an 18 mile bike ride with very little exposure to main roads.
Sunday roast lunch at the tea rooms is to be highly recommended.
Remember to bring a bird feeder and plentiful supplies of seed/fat balls! We had one in full view from the van window and had to refill the feeders every day! We attracted Greenfinches, blue, great, long tailed & marsh [or were they willow?!] tits, chaffinches, sparrows [common & tree], and frequent visits from a couple of magpies.

We stayed here for the first time after finding the site on UKCampsite.co.uk We looked at their website and it looked really good.
However, before we decided to book up, we looked at the members comments about this site. The comments nearly put us off going, as some of them were not very positive. But we took the risk and booked up and went.
When we arrived we were greeted by Lorna, she was a very lovely young girl and extremely friendly and helpful, she bent over backwards to help us find the pitch and told us all about the park. We set up the tent and settled in.
Later that day the owner, Richard drove around to check that everybody was ok and checked the site, which I thought was very good. This gave us the confidence to leave the tent and go exploring the local area.
The site has 3 lovely fishing lakes, which was fantastic, as I took my fishing gear and had a great days fishing. We had breakfast in thier Tea Room, which was very nice.
All in all, we had a brillient time and would recommend it, but remember its for adults only.
