  • Adults-only touring park 15 minutes’ drive from Oakham in Rutland
  • Aqua Park Rutland 15 minutes’ drive, and Burghley House 20 minutes
  • Free use of coarse-fishing lakes; woodland walks and wildlife on site
Here’s chance to hone your fishing skills at Stretton Lakes Touring Park, an adults-only site set in 120 acres of farmland, 15 minutes’ drive from Oakham in the middle of Rutland countryside. All campsite guests have free angling on the park’s seven coarse-fishing lakes – and you don’t need to walk very far, as there’s fishing right in front of every south-facing, hardstanding lakeside pitch. Not too enamoured of fishing? The tourer pitches are surrounded by loads of footpaths, excellent for wanderings with – or without – any accompanying dogs (if your pet gets muddy, don’t fret as the site has its own dedicated canine showers). You’re welcome to get lost in neighbouring Stretton and George Henry woods, and if you tread quietly on your way, you may get to see the fallow deer that also sometimes graze around the pitches. There are two award-winning pubs within walking distance, so you can forget about driving and enjoy a big night out. Book well ahead of time and have a wander down to Stretton or Clipsham villages (both 20 minutes’ walk) for gourmet dining treats. A few practical details now: modern shower facilities are top-notch, with rainfall showers in private cubicles, smart oak washstands and stone basins. You can keep on top of the laundry too, thanks to on-site washing machines and tumble dryers.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Spotless toilet/shower/washing rooms, 5 stars. Nice to use One pound coins for washing machine and dryer for a change ( no punn intended) lovely site, all pitches fully serviced, each pitch looks over a fishing lake.
Chemical toilet empty facilities with solar lighting. General waste and recycling.
Most pitches quite level.
Dog friendly site and short walk to village, on site shop (not open Sunday) good information available inside amenities block.
Toilet/shower facilities (open 24/7).
We enjoyed our 2 night travelling stay and will return again next year while touring the UK.
We look forward to seeing it mature further.
Touring vans, Motorhomes welcome and Lodges are available, all of which are easy to book online.
If you enjoy fishing your ten steps away from throwing your line in to a lake.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Fantastic shower block, really good sized pitches

Disliked: Grey waste drain on pitch is level with pitch and once caravan level its hard to create a fall so water drains easily. So you may still need your wastemaster.

Local attractions

The UK’s smallest country might be tiny in stature but it certainly packs a sightseeing punch. The local town of Stamford is known for its handsome Georgian architecture, while pretty Oakham (both 15 minutes’ drive) has a Norman castle as well as loads of stylish shops if you’re looking to offload some cash. If it’s picnic weather, journey to Melton Mowbray (25 minutes) to pick up a couple of the local pork pies to eat on your travels. For active adventures with the family, Rutland Water hosts inflatable and floating climbing courses at Aqua Park Rutland (15 minutes), dinghy sailing at Rutland Sailing Club and waterside golf at a nine-hole course (both 20 minutes). Trout fishing and birdwatching for teals, herons and rare ospreys are also possible around the reservoir’s shoreline. Have a wander up to the Iron Age fort at Burrough Hill (half an hour) for far-reaching views across Rutland, and in summer, take a guided tour of ornate Burghley House (20 minutes), an impressive Tudor-era mansion with Capability Brown-designed gardens. If you have young kids with you, give them a break from culture by treating them to gentle rollercoasters and falconry displays at Twinlakes Park (25 minutes).
