Rutland Water

Thanks for all your replies so far; will have a look at all of them.

We've also looked at Greendale Farm, not a CL, but only 12 pitches and one of the Tranquil Parks group so looks more to our liking. Anyone visited there? 

Sorry, Moulesy, but I don't know if any with facilities near Rutland Water. The Lodge Trust has been recommended on CT , and I thought of trying it later this year.

We have booked the Lodge Trust for later this year.

if you phone to book they will not ask for a deposit, if you use their on line booking, which you need to go to their main website to find, you will be asked for a deposit.

You book a specific pitch, but if you are not familiar with the site, there is no plan to show which pitch is which.  They are all hardstandings.

When are you there, Kjell? If it's before June cold you let me know which are the "better" pitches? 

We're staying there in mid May for an Owners' Club meet...I'm sure M would be made most welcome

Not till August I'm afraid.

We stayed there last year, Try to avoid Harvest time as the tractors are up and down the lane nearly all night and cut the fields well into the night otherwise not a bad site toilets are are little spartan and only one toilet and shower for the boys, not sure about the girls but the boss thinks it was 2 toilets one shower, but we would stay again.

There is also a CL/CS at one of the car parks. Away from the car park and approach road, but only a short walk down to lakeside. Sorry but cannot remember which one. I think it is a CCC site, also cannot be certain if there is a toilet. Excellent location though.

We looked around a few sites as we wanted an extra couple of nights for the Bird Fair that we did not know about until we arrived in the area. We were not impressed by many.

Should we manage to get in I'll let you know what I think of it.

Armley Lodge  views over the water , the take dogs , cannot remember about loos stayed there a few years back ...

Doesn't seem to have any loos, wye, looking on the club's web site.
