Rutland Water

Sorry M, bit of a blank area for us. Only time we visited RW, we were driving home from Ferry Meadows. Nellie might know of a suitable CL.

Moulesy we always use Stamford CAMC site, it's one of our favourites,  but no facilities.  Some friends did stay on a local CL but again no loo. There is a small site just up the A43 at the farm shop, but can't tell you much about it, as I've only driven past. The area is rather short on CL'S. 

Edit... there is a toilet at the visitors centre/ cafe at Top Lodge which is open during the day.

Don't use the cl site in Greetham. Steep entrance slope with gate at top need to stop at bottom to open. pitches are along side farm track which is extremely muddy if wet and verry dusty when dry. water taps are on the other side of track from pitches as is water for grey waste track can be busy first thing in morning

Have you looked around Melton Mowbray Moulesy we saw some nice spots over that way. This one looks ok too.

When I looked at the others at the bottom of the page Stretton Lakes looks good too and The Lodge Trust. We intended to stay over that way a few years back but only managed a drive through, lovely countryside which we used to visit years ago.

What about above, we stayed here a few years ago its affiliated to CAMC. Was very nice. Not a CL though but  separate adults only section as well if I remember.

We stayed at The Lodge Trust last May.  We enjoyed it very much.  The site isn’t massive but the surrounding land is free to wander around.  Nice walk on quite lane behind the site.  The charity run cafe is excellent.  There is also a CS of the other club on the property.  The village is nice and had a community post office/shop and a nice pub serving good food.  We stayed 3 nights as we wanted to visit the Ospreys on the lake.  We would certainly return.

PS  my review seems to have disappeared

We stayed about 6 miles north of Rutland water on the Wymondham Windmill CL, it has all facilities but maybe not a shower. The tearoom serves meals and a good breakfast, dog walk from site and free entry to the windmill.

Slightly sloping, grass only when we were there and with good view.

Great walk around Hambleton area waters edge.

Have stayed here and thorughly enjoyed the cl and area. The facilities are however only open when the cafe is open. Nice place though I would think about 10 miles from Rutland Water

The owners gave us a key to the outside door to the WC as it is shared when the tea rooms are open, and locked when closed.
