Lovely site, friendly wardens, clearly says on entering site, ‘no visitors allowed’ this was abused by our neighbours on 2 days, is it one rule for some and not for anyone else.

A favourite.

This is one of our favourite sites and we have been visiting for many years. We didnt visit last year, but it was great to be back. We love the new Dog/Bike wash area. Such a great addition and I'm sure welcomed by all dog owners and muddy boots. Wardens were welcoming and friendly as always. Once thing I was less impressed with was the sanitising spray. At first I thought It was a fantastic idea, until I used it. Then I realised it was the one thing that everyone was touching, but the one thing that no one was cleaning. It needs a hand gel sanitiser for your hands not a spray bottle for the taps/bins etc. The spray bottle is the first and last thing you use, which means you walk off with a potentially infected hand. You pick up the spray bottle, having been touched most of the site and spray the tap, then touch the tap with a potentially contaminated hand from the spray bottle which defeats the object of having just sprayed the tap, when completed you repeat the process of spraying the tap and replacing the disinfectant spray. You then tootle off having touched your aqua roll, pull handle, door keys, door handle, awning zip etc. It gives a false sense of security and I'm sure not many think to wash their hands after filling up the aqua roll, afterall you have used the disinfecting spray on the tap!? Also, can those of you with dogs who constantly bark PLEASE have a thought for others who are also trying to enjoy their holiday. I have a dog, but I wouldnt dream of letting him bark incessantly and until gone 10pm like some did. I know they all get a little excitable at times, but we as dog owners have a responsibility. It's down to us to control not for others to endure. Anyway, give this site a go if you haven't already. It's great and perfect for a long chilled out weekend or a week out and about exploring the area.

Which is the friendliest site, then?

OK. Bold title, I admit. And there are a lot of good things about this site - its location, its shady pitch, the walks. But the site wardens are definitely in contention for being the jolliest, and most helpful, that you will find. We actually needed a pitch at short notice and they helped. But observation makes me think they are this good every day. So if you are in the Stamford region, here you go. A great site, with great wardens.

Good long weekend location

We had a specific task to do in the area hence our selection of the Stamford site for a long weekend recently. We came in from the direction of Corby with only the last half mile turn off to site being a ‘B‘ road but plentiful passing places made final access easy. Entry to the site is then spacious and clean and welcoming. Covid 19 preparations and protocols were also in evidence without being overbearing. The site was already well populated by the time we arrived early doors and selection of pitch was therefore limited to what felt a busier part of the site and there was some leveling to do but that’s the deal so no complaints. The location of the site itself next to Fineshade Wood also meant great (dog) walks and nearby Stamford Town and Burleigh House are very attractive places to visit. Although I only needed access to mail and the news, WiFi was not so good, neither my mobile signal. Overall then a competent site that worked well for our long weekend with thanks to staff and fellow campers for making it easy to stay safe.

Excellent site and staff

We stayed here for a long weekend with our 3 dogs. Fabulous location and great walks from the door of your caravan. We found the Jurassic Way on our last day and will return to explore further as loved it being a bit more off the beaten track than the forest walks. We felt really safe - we were impressed that there was sanitising spray near the service points to ensure taps etc were kept clean (the 2 previous CC sites we visited did not have this). The wardens were very friendly and kept the site immaculate.

A true delight

Have just spent 9 wonderful nights at this picturesque and immaculately kept site. The warden was very welcoming, friendly and obliging and he looked after the site with great care and attention. The mixture of hardstanding and grass pitches gives you choice and the service points were well positioned. The new rules (covid) were clearly marked and sanitising facilities were readily available. In recent years we have been less inclined to worry about toilet blocks and even more so at the present and as the site was very popular I think many others obviously feel the same. No better endorsement to say than 'we will be returning'.

Basic, but well-maintained Club Site

Our first use of the van since lockdown restrictions were eased - hallelujah ! The site is easy to find and, although the access road is single track mostly (it also leads to the Forestry Comission site), there are lots of passing places. There is a nice little cafe at the Forestry Commission building and many walks from the site, so our dogs were more than happy. No shower / toilet block, so it's your own facilities. The site was almost full when we were there for 2 nights, but still felt quiet. The wardens are very pleasant and helpful - check out their blackboard for daily musings (you'll understand what I mean when you get there !). Our hardstanding pitch was only just big enough for a 7.92m twin axle van and, although reasonably flat, did need levelling at the rear (the wardens have a large supply of wooden blocks for guests !) The site operates a one-way driving system which can lead to an issue when a number of outfits leave at the same time, as happened to us on a Thursday morning. The motorhome service point is near the exit - although it has enough room for a car and van to drive past by the service point, if you have a queue of 3 motorhomes waiting to drain their grey waste, as we did, you probably won't be able to pass and may have a bit of a wait ! We were in no rush, so it wasn't a problem, but bear it in mind if you need a quick getaway and the site is busy. Overall, a very relaxing few days at this lovely Club Site that is about a 7 mile drive from Stamford centre.

Excellent Site

Had a lovely stay here early October. Initially booked for 3 nights but extended to 7. Staff were extremely friendly & welcoming. The dog walks are fantastic. Unless you decided to go off the tracks, the paths are gravel/tarmac which is a massive plus keeping you and your dog free from mud, particularly this time of year! I loved this site, and will be back next year. Anne & Barney (Yorkie).

Lovely Stamford

Great site in a lovely picturesque area , easy to access from the east Midlands via A52 /A1. Fineshade woods with walking trials are excellent with a super variety of walks suitable for everyone , the cafe on site is extremely good also. The amount of wildlife is in abundance especially the number of red kites . Stamford is a shoppers dream & is only 15 minutes drive away , the Georgian buildings make this town a pleasure to visit. We throughly enjoyed our week's visit & will return next year for sure. Lovely , peaceful well kept site & the relief wardens were excellent also.
