Rutland Gateway

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.
