Hidden gem
Only stayed one night on way home from touring Northern England and Scotland. Would love to have stayed longer. Will return I'm sure. Very friendly and helpfull wardens. Quiet secluded woodland spot with plenty of wildlife.
Happy Dog Owners
This was our first visit to this site and was for one night only as we were moving up to Northumberland the following morning However the peace & quiet of the site together with a off lead dog walking area on Forestry commission land was second to none that we have so far encountered and was even better than the countryside walks we have at home.Needless to say our two English setters & Border collie x were so very happy at the freedom we were able to let them have and so were we that we have decided when we get back home we will be trying to book about 5 more days at this site in Sept this year
Anyone with both dogs and a love of birdsong & other wildlife would be more than happy at this site
Please keep up the good work you are doing and I know we will be revisiting more than once in the years to come
Brillo for dog walkers
Site is quiet and spacious and as advertised. We stayed 5 nights and found ideal for walking dogs as Fineshade Forest is next door, where you can walk on good marked tracks for miles. Would book again if in the area.
Stamford review July 2016
We have just had 4 nights at this site we would have more but for previous engagement.
The site is as advertised easy to find and access, there are no problems whatsoever with the access road , a little narrow but plenty of large passing places.
The site is quiet, there are no loos but that is advertised in the paperwork and I was further warned when we booked in, we have a just under 8 metre twin axle, not a problem deep pitches may need a tweak to level. There is plenty to do quite central , several people said they go there more than once a year and have been doing so for a while, so not just us! All in all fantastic , the Wardens made us welcome and we will go again.

Nice and simple!
Not the title of my autobiography, but a good description of the Stamford site. The narrow road is only a short distance and takes you into a beautifully presented and friendly site. As always, helpful wardens and friendly guests. Remember there is no shower block but this just adds to the tranquillity. We took the bikes for some great cycling around the forestry centre. Try to get to the amazing ancient church in Blatherwyke, a couple of miles down the road. Stamford is about 7 miles away but you really should make the effort to visit. It must be one of the most beautiful towns in the region. A lovely site and a lovely area to explore. Get booking while the weather is good!
Cracking simple site.
4th visit to this site. love the simplicity of it. Ideal for a quiet weekend away. Great wardens too. We'll be back.
a very good base, and great bread nearby!!
Visited May 2016. Approach is via a narrow and poorly surfaced potholed road, with frequent passing places, shared by the forest visitor centre. However, red kites circle as you enter the site, a well sheltered, well kept site with a choice of grass or hard standings in a standard campsite ‘horseshoe’ layout. Some background road noise most of the time here.No facility block, but lovely wardens, and a well stocked basic little shop, lacking only in daily papers. An information hut is here, but a lot of information was found to be well (years) out of date. Trees surround the site, and birds aplenty- bring your nut feeders!. There is good access to the forestry trails, cafe and bike hire centre. Quite a good place to cycle from, a small and lovely road leads off from the entrance road, out to Rutland water and a lot of good rolling hills. The woodland packed gravel roads are fairly uninteresting, but would provide a great place to safely teach children to cycle.There are more interesting off road/woodland routes also here. The main A43 however is a fast and busy lorry route. Nearby are Barnsdale, Burley House, Rockingham Castle, Deene Park and others. Lovers of REAL bread should visit the proper old fashioned bakery in Kings Cliffe (2 miles ish. via the cycle\walk route in the woods, bakery opposite post office, open am. only). All in all a good base to explore a very interesting area, with good cycling possibilities.

Another visit to this site. Always well kept and the wardens are always friendly and helpful. I really wish the Caravan Club would look at opening this site all year round.
