Why stay here ...

Rockingham CL was opened in 2010, set in approximately 1 acre with wonderful panoramic views over the spectacular Welland Valley. We are situated just outside the village of Cottingham approximately 150 yards from the village boundary sign.

Everyone is welcome including pets and children. All of our pitches are spacious and level with clean gravel hard standings, they have 16 amp electric hookups with space for awning and car parking, with Free Wi-Fi available throughout the site and a shower and toilet block for guest use. There is a hard gravel driveway which gives access to all of the pitches.  Open April to October.

We have designed our site to the highest of standards, previous guests have commented that it is of similar quality to most Club sites but as we only have 5 vans at any one time it never feels over crowded, availability and booking is via our website.

Rockingham CL is ideally located for exploring the area, historic Rockingham Castle is a 5 minute drive away, Rockingham Speedway for those petrol heads is a 10 minute drive away.

Local English heritage sites include Kirby Hall, Lyddington Bede House & Triangular Lodge all no more than 10 minutes away by car.

The Eyebrook reservoir is just 10 minutes away which was used during the second world war for Dambuster training, however the much quieter activities of bird watching and trout fishing can now be enjoyed or slightly further afield we have Rutland Water which is 25 minutes away by car.

Cream teas are certain to await you in the market towns of Uppingham and Oakham, a must if you are interested in Art Galleries and Antiques. The nearby town of Corby has an International public swimming pool and a Cinema coming soon!

There is a local dog walking park at East Carlton which is a 5 to 10 minute drive away approximately 200 acres in size it is open all year with free parking. The park can also be accessed by walking the famous Jurassic way through the villages of Cottingham and Middleton.

However many of our guests simply enjoy the tranquillity of the CL and choose to spend their time watching the Red Kites that frequently fly over the CL, and of course a BBQ and favourite tipple whilst the sunsets beautifully over the valley.

There are two pubs within a 5 to 10 minute walk from the CL serving real ales and good pub food.

Our objective is to provide our fellow caravanners with a safe, secure, clean and tidy retreat in the good old fashioned English countryside, we hope to see you soon.

Our site is ideal for couples and walkers. There is also CCTV and a security gate with access code.

You can also find us on Facebook.

Beautiful scenery on a wonderful CL

What a wonderful CL. Amazing views. The pitches are spacious, with picnic tables available to all. Lovely, clean toilets and shower. There is a coded gate entry for security, giving peace of mind. Highly recommend this site.

Beautiful location

First time on this site, but we will return. It has the most amazing views. Immaculately clean shower and toilets. There was some noise from the road but nothing too bothersome. There were some dogs barking some of Saturday but not at all today Sunday. Easy arrival with access code.... Show more

Beautiful views over Rutland Valley

Go before its spoiled….

This is a beautiful peaceful site with incredible views over the Welland Valley. We had 2 nights here last week. I agree with other reviews that the nearby barking dogs are disturbing-they seem to be shut into a building at the nearby farm and bark all day. It’s a pity... Show more

The views looking over the Welland valley from this CL are stunning. The pitches are all hard standing and you can choose nearer the road or nearer the fields. There is a bit of road noise, but we didn't find it intrusive. The toilets and shower are wonderful and the... Show more
