Stamford Club Campsite is set in a tranquil, open meadowland location surrounded by attractive woodland. The campsite 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 campsite 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 Campsite, 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 campsite 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.

Excellent site
Stamford Club Campsite
We stayed here for a couple of nights, and highly recommend it for those wanting peace and quiet and great woodland walks. A very warm welcome when we arrived, and a good sized pitch.
We'll be back soon!

Fabulous site
Stamford Club Campsite
A fabulous site,so peaceful. Lovely cafe right next door. Perfect location for the dog who loved the walks. I think the wood is one of the best I've walked round.
Would definitely visit again if we were closer.
Although I've put 5⭐ for facilities there aren't actually any facilities on the site (couldn't leave review without putting something in box). The grounds are very well maintained
A lovely weekend staying at Stamford Club campsite
Stamford Club Campsite
Our first view at Stamford Club campsite. The single track road to the site as mentioned by others isn't a problem as there are plenty of passing places and although very bumpy isn't under the control of the site. Also a previously mentioned there's no toilet/shower block, however the forestry commission next door does have toilets so when you're all hitched up to leave and need that last minute visit before your journey home a quick 5 minute walk away there are public toilets - very handy.
We received a very nice welcome from the warden who was on his own so was very busy but did a sterling job. We went and found our pitch and came back later and was able to have a little chat then and he gave us some local info on walking routes etc which was great. The pitches are slightly sloped so take some levellers. We were allowed to park nose in which was our preference as we wanted to look at the trees rather than our fellow campers so that was great. There's approx 80 pitches and although the site was busy the only noises to be heard were the red kites calling to each other overhead which was wonderful.
Walking and cycling from the site was great. We did a couple of walks and cycled to Kings Cliffe which was a 5 mile round trip. Kings Cliffe has a bakers (not open Mondays), a pub and a Londis shop for provisions.
We visited Stamford (a friend recommended Lamberts for breakfast/lunch and its lovely, its down Cheyne Lane) , Burghley House (free to park and walk the parkland and have a cuppa, charges for house and formal gardens), Kirby Hall, Lyddington Bede House and The Welland viaduct which is an absolute 100% must do if you like things like that... which we do.
The site is so nicely placed, everything seemed to be within about 10 miles which is great. We would defintely go again.
Peaceful Site
Stamford Club Campsite
Lovely looking site, very clean and tidy. Good access and reasonable room for an 8m caravan. Staff really helpful and friendly. Only stayed one night transiting from a French trip but will be back.
A Lovely Peaceful & Quite Club Site
Stamford Club Campsite
This was our 1st visit to this club site and only 1-hour drive away, so our weekend stay was not eaten up with a long journey. It is a lovely peaceful and quiet site and has lovely paths for both dog walkers and cyclists within the Forestry Commission’s Fineshade wood next door, which has been well sign posted along the paths. We had our two eldest grandkids with us and they were never off their bike the whole weekend.
We loved it so much we have already booked a pitch for a late summer return with three of our eldest grandkids joining us.
The site was clean and tidy with the wardens both friendly and very informative. The site has no washroom facilities, but that just adds to the charm to the overall site. Some of the pitches have a distinct slope on them that would challenge even the best of your levelling devices.
A visit into busy Stamford is well worth it, with plentiful shops and eaters available as are the historical house and castles within the area.
