We spent one night at this site and will definitely come back. Spacious pitches away from the road. Water and grey water to each pitch and electricity was by pay meter which is a great idea. Lots of places to visit which we will do next time. We ate in the evening at The Plough public house and the food there was excellent and we recommend. We look forward to visiting again and for longer. Thank you to John and Marie for their warm welcome.
Lovely little site
Just back from our first visit to Rutland Gateway. What a little gem ! Fully serviced hard standing pitches, with plenty of space. Security locked gates which is always nice, and room enough to pull your car and van off the road upon arrival. A lovely area with an Italian and local pub both a few minutes walk away, and plenty of others within a short drive. Lots of places to explore, and plenty of nice walks which is great if you have a dog like us ! Very friendly and helpful owners, we have already booked a return visit !
Really great little site
We stayed here recently for four nights in April, and it was everything we hoped for. Nice level pitches, all with power water and grey waste, very well kept and peaceful at night, stumbling distance to a great pub (The Plough) and easy access to wonderful countryside, would recommend wholeheartedly.
One question you will ask yourself in this part of the world is, where to get the best pork pie? By happenchance, I think we found it - Leeson Family butchers in Oakham High Street (and for their sausages and black pudding!)
Great new site
Stopped here a couple of months back but was unable to leave reviews. CAMC have now reset my account. Lovely site, well laid out. Surfaced road and serviced hard standings. Plenty of space. Great pub with homemade food only a few minutes from the site. Very friendly owner.

Well placed for exploring the area
We stayed here over the August bank holiday and were amazed to be alone on the site for most of the time! Nicely laid out CL with serviced pitches (but no toilet/shower facilities). Site is secured (access details given on confirmed booking) and kept clean and tidy - we saw maintenance being done but this was not invasive and didn't disturb us.
We had take-out from The Castle Inn which is opposite the CL entrance, bit expensive but good food. Good location for visiting many different places and easy to get to and from. The CL is very close to the main road so during the day there is a fair bit of road noise but at night this quietened down.
We enjoyed our stay here and it would be perfect for a stopover if travelling too.
Great CL with lovely owners
This is an excellent CL with serviced pitches and is ideally located for numerous places of interest. We stayed for 3 weeks, and the owners John and Marie were so helpful and informative about local places to visit. John also helped us out when we had a problem with our caravan, which was greatly appreciated. The site is very secure, clean and tidy, grass mown regularly, level hardstanding pitches and an excellent CDP.
Locally we visited Kirby Hall, the Eleanor Cross at Geddington, saw the osprey on Eyebrook Reservoir, St Andrews Church at Stoke Dry (wonderful medieval wall paintings) and Harringworth Viaduct. Rockingham Castle was nice, but not geared up for the disabled.
Slightly further afield, we visited Geoff Hamilton's Barnsdale Gardens, Longthorpe Tower (more wonderful wall paintings) and Nene Valley Country Park (great for kids). We loved Market Harborough where we watched the peregrines on the church tower and listened to the musicians in the church. Foxton Locks is a lovely walk, and we enjoyed a boat trip on the Rutland Belle. And Burghley House was amazing!
We had dinner at the Plough twice, not only within walking distance but really fantastic food!
This is such a nice site, and there is so much to see and do in the area, that we will definitely be back!
Short stay with grandchildren
Great little site, well laid out, plenty of space and good pitch facilities. A bit of road noise but does quiten down at night. A trip to Hamerton Zoo was our big day out. John was particularly helpful when car broke down and rendered undriveable to diesel fuel leak.
Would recommend.
Fine stay here
Hi would like to say how John and marie made me and my wife so inviting the site is well placed and has service pitches with plenty of room on each pitch, John and marie make you very welcome with a lot of help with knowledge of the area or just help with you pitch, we stayed 5 nights and enjoy are time, Dave & carina.

Great little site
Great set up with everything on your pitch. Spacious spots and lots of space between. Friendly hosts give lots of good local intel. We have a big motorhome and access etc really easy.
One of the best CL’s we have found.
Lovely CL, perhaps one of the best CL’s we have found. All pitches are level with hard standing and grass to sit out on, there were even picnic tables for us to use. Safe and secure entrance which is padlocked with the code given upon booking. All 5 pitches had there own fresh water and grey waste disposal, and chemical loo was conveniently positioned a short distance from our pitch. There were also 2 pubs within walking distance from the CL with one pub across the road from the CL entrance. Unfortunately I had an accident and we had to leave earlier than planned, and although I didn’t ask or expect a refund of the unused night, Marie was adamant and very kindly returned the fee, going above and beyond anything we have experienced on a CL, thank you Marie and John, we will definitely return.
