Why stay here ...

Whether it’s a holiday or simply a few days break, we have a 5 pitch touring site located at the most southern point of England’s rural and smallest county, Rutland!

Our site offers the perfect location for exploring Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Rutland, being central to all 4 counties.

Each pitch has a generous sized level hardstanding and grass area, should you wish to use an awning. There is a water point, grey water waste and EHU on every pitch. Our site also offers chemical disposal waste unit, general waste and recycling points too.

We have 2 public houses within walking distance. The Castle Inn is opposite our entrance, offering Italian and English dining, also a take away service, including various pizzas. The Plough Inn is in the village of Caldecott, a 5 minute walk from site, offering traditional pub grub, dog friendly in the bar area only.

We are situated opposite the entrance to the Eyebrook reservoir (hand gate facility) where day fishing permits are available along with other fishing options such as boat hire. Please see their Website for details.

A mile and a half away we have the historic Rockingham Castle with special events throughout the spring and summer. Our site is ideal for visiting the Fairfax and Favor Horse trials. Please see their website for events and opening times.

Other nearby towns:

Stamford, Uppingham, Oakham, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and Corby

There is an hourly bus service, RF1, that passes the site and can be flagged down on the Great Easton Road, outside the entrance to the Eyebrook reservoir. This bus goes to Uppingham and Oakham on the other side of the road, you can flag it down to go to Corby.

Other places of interest:

Rutland Water (cycle hire available), Kirby Hall, Harringworth viaduct, Melton Mowbray Market, Twin Lakes (for the little ones), Barnsdale Gardens, East Carlton Park, Fineshade Woods.

Please note: the reservoir is not open the general public, but to day fishermen only, however there is a walk/ cycle ride that allows the public to go around the perimeter of it with some fantastic views.

Weekend away for the two of us & our cockapoo, Bruno

Last minute weekend away for the two of us and our dog. The site was very peaceful & kept very clean & tidy. Everything organised and clearly marked. The owners were very friendly and helpful. As we live only 35 mins away in Leicester, we will definitely visit again.

We spent one night at this site and will definitely come back. Spacious pitches away from the road. Water and grey water to each pitch and electricity was by pay meter which is a great idea. Lots of places to visit which we will do next time. We ate in... Show more

Lovely little site

Just back from our first visit to Rutland Gateway. What a little gem ! Fully serviced hard standing pitches, with plenty of space. Security locked gates which is always nice, and room enough to pull your car and van off the road upon arrival. A lovely area with an Italian... Show more

Nice level pitches, all with power water and grey waste, very well kept and peaceful at night, stumbling distance to a great pub (The Plough) and easy access to wonderful countryside, would recommend wholeheartedly. One... Show more

Great new site

Stopped here a couple of months back but was unable to leave reviews. CAMC have now reset my account. Lovely site, well laid out. Surfaced road and serviced hard standings. Plenty of space. Great pub with homemade food only a few minutes from the site. Very friendly owner.
