Thanks- that looks just fine. Just got to hope that if there are millions of Robbie Fans that they don't cause any grief. (Our do is the same night as Robbie's doing MK). Guess this place might be too basic for most fans, although I've heard many hotels etc are fully booked, so you never know.

Cheers, TT.

If youve gone to Billing for an event ie Land Rover show or other and are displeased with the place it may be worth mentioning your grievances with the event organisers themselves.

Try Silverstone itself.

Also search for Thrapston, Rushden and Peterborough all within close to Santa Pod.

We used to use a place called Cosgrove Park near Silverstone/Santa pod being located near Milton Keynes.

Hi re top end farm. I don't think you will get probs from Robbie fans. I popped in yesterday (very close to where I live) to look at the site for poss weekend for me and my  young son as they have a skate ramp and play area.

The guy who runs it let us have a look around and  was very very helpfiu he also said it is a quiet site.  which  when we visited was. Only problems he had was a few years ago when a ( shall remain namelss)big band were playing in the area and some guys came back playing music  a tad too LOUD in car. After a warning car keys confiscated and apoligies made to other campers the next day. This appears a good site with a great shop and I cannot emphasis enough for the helpfulness of owner+++ really cheap!!!

Also noticed at Billing that the pool is shut and drained and most of the flagstones are gone,sure sign of going to the dogs imo

And the train was just parked up near the entrance and judging by the rusty tracks hadnt been used this year at least....
