Hi

yes just turn up Thurs or Friday  we can fit you in no problems, As there is no hook up, there are no marked out pitches etc  we have a very large parkland setting field so you can go as far away from neighbours as you want and it still isn't miles from the Beer tent!! which will be serving a selection of the award winning Rutland Grainstore real ales and if we run out of space, we will just cut more grass on the field. Dogs are welcome as well under control as are children !!

Stapleford is about 30 minutes from Rutland water so you can go off for the day if you wish, the only restriction is that we don't allow vehicles on or off unless in an emergency between 10-00 and 1700 while the public is about as you have to drive through the rally field to get to the camping but you can park on the car park filed which is close by if you need vehicle accesses in the day

The evening atmosphere is always commented on as being one of the best around from those attending as we always have entertainment laid on be it band or bingo or quiz

.  There will also be members of the classic caravan clubs there as well with their vintage caravans and cars, often open to look round

 

If you need to speak to me, I am on 07788915609
