Why stay here ...

Stamford Club Site is set in a tranquil, open meadowland location surrounded by attractive woodland. The caravan park is a superb place for leisurely wanderings in lovely landscapes; birds, deer and a profusion of wild flowers will delight the senses. Within a short distance from the caravan park you have the town of Stamford - one of the most perfectly preserved stone towns in England, it has a rich history and boasts many historic medieval buildings (BBC's Middlemarch was filmed here).

Also within easy access from Stamford Club Site, you can opt for a romantic cruise on the Rutland Belle or enjoy a scenic walk along the 27 miles of Rutland Water shoreline. There are cycling paths and forest walks conveniently leading from the caravan site entrance and for garden lovers, Geoff Hamilton's horticultural legacy - Barnsdale Gardens at Oakham - are superb. Tucked away in the woods is a wildlife hide, ideal for watching birds, insects and other wildlife such as deer.

Please note: this site does not have a toilet block.

Wonerful site. Busy but Peaceful

Stayed here July 2019 with a caravan. Most pitches were occupied but the site didn't seem busy, although it was outside the school holiday period. There are Forestry Commission woods accessible directly from the site and these are marked with several trails of 2,3 and 5 miles, but you can mix and match if you want. Ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. My Wife is disabled and can walk only a few metres, but, using an electric bike, she managed and enjoyed the 5 mile circuit twice (2 separate days) and the 3 mile circuit on a third day. The trails are well signed, have benches on which to rest, nature related activities for children and photo opportunities. We didn't go off site and didn't feel the need to, but were told that Rutland Water is a 15 minute drive away and also has excellent walking and cycling facilities. We will certainly be visiting again.

Peaceful (except for weekends)

Been here several times over 10-12 years. Great location but bit of a hike to a village. The surrounding woodlands are great for dog walking AND excellent for those restricted to wheels (such as wheelchairs and mobility scooters). Published site info should state this! No playground or toilets so deters families although usual 'invasion' at weekends. Expect pitches to be sloping as most are. Wardens are terrific especially Mark and Lynne who do the reliefs. .Going back again later this year. Sadly too many members seem to think that the 5mph speed limit only applies to others, not them! On the whole very much recommended.

Great Site

Always love going to this site, immaculately clean and well organised. We were greeted by the best Wardens ever this weekend, great sense of humour, friendly and very helpful. We had a problem with electric (first trip out this year) and Warden saw us struggling and came and helped. Looking forward to returning again this year.

A generally Peaceful site

Just had a relaxing weekend at this site to try out our new motorhome (we have been caravanners up until now). Helpful warden with advice about filling and emptying water - thankyou. Standard of upkeep is as you expect from Club sites - i.e. high It is the case that one side of the site is adjacent to the refurbished visitor centre carpark - being there over a weekend it was well used as was the adjacent kids play area. We were pitched next to the car park but did not find the noise in the least intrusive. I would expect it is much quieter during the week. The work is nearly complete (there was some machinery working when we arrived on the Friday) until they tree plant in the autumn. From late afternoon when the visitors left and through the evening the site was very quiet - only disturbance was the perennial dog barking & yapping! There are two wonderful adventure type play areas - one as mentioned near the carpark, the other in the woods. Lots of walks through the woods and in surrounding area. Wonderful to hear the cuckoo - even at 4.30am when I got up to go to the loo!!

Lack of important information

The forestry commission are making changes to the car park adjoining the caravan club site and it is a construction site along with dust and machinery noise during the day.Trees and bushes along the boundary have been removed so people using the new car park have full vision of the the caravan park and vice versa. It has changed the character of the caravan site and club members should be made aware of this work .
