Rutland Caravan and Camping Site
Good clean site but spoilt by the unwelcoming staff in the office.
I’ve read through their reviews and can see this has been mentioned by others.

Why stay here ...
Rutland Caravan and Camping Site is a family run holiday destination set in the heart of lovely Rutland, offering you the superb opportunity to explore England's smallest county and a location renowned for its picturesque villages and towns. The caravan site is adjacent to the village of Greetham, through which the Viking Way and various other footpath networks pleasantly meander. The village offers three traditional pubs serving hearty food, as well as fun activities which include tennis and badminton courts, a bowling green, pentanque, football, cricket and a children's play area.
Golfing enthusiasts staying at the Rutland Caravan and Camping Site are spoilt for choice with one of Rutland's finest clubs nearby. Greetham Valley boasts two 18-hole courses, a 9-hole 3 par course, driving range, club house and excellent Pro Shop. Rutland certainly lives up to its motto 'Multim in Parvo', which means 'Much in Little'. Rutland Water, within easy reach of the caravan park, offers sailing, cycling, fishing, rock climbing, as well as a fine nature reserve.
An indoor heated swimming pool is available onsite (fees apply).

Over night stop over
Rutland Caravan and Camping Site
Clean and tidy site, however entrance area outside of the site was scruffy and dilapidated. Toilet block was warm, with lovely hot showers. Easy to book, good pre-trip communication. However our visit was spoilt by very unfriendly welcome from wardens on arrival, most unhelpful when we asked if we could leave before 9.00am in the morning. System of handing in membership card for barrier key does not work outside of office hours. Would definitely not recommend, nor use again.

This is a good site
Rutland Caravan and Camping Site
We came for 3 nights and stayed for 4 . The site is well laid out with one half for families and the other for adults only. The hard standing pitches ( we are in a motorhome in January so need hard standing) were pretty level and are fully serviced, which makes the pitch price good value The facilities are more than adequate, the reviewer who complained about them was too harsh. Yes they aren't brand new but the underfloor heating was lovely, there was plenty of hot water, what more do you really need? The dog walk is a generous size . There were dog bins at each entrance and therefore never far to dispose of the bag. The dog shower with hot and cold water was a bonus.
The laundry facilities were sensibly priced.
The staff are very pleasant and extremely helpful. Even the gardener was lovely and friendly.
The on site cafe/restaurant does excellent pizzas , they are proper Italian ones, thin and crispy not like the rubbish you get in certain fast food chains. In addition there are two good pubs within a short walk. Rutland Water is about 5 miles away so include an extra 10 miles to the total cycle ride. On the way there the Hambleton bakery is well worth a visit for bread and cakes.
This is a lovely area to visit and so we hope to return and wholeheartedly recommend the site

Great site
Rutland Caravan and Camping Site
We arrived at the park on Monday for four night’s, our first visit to the site, we have a motorhome so decided to go on a hard standing pitch, the pitch was a good size complete with electric, water tap and waste. Great walks from the park for dogs & down to the village and two local pubs, also not to far from Oakham and Rutland water where you can park with a motorhome at whitwell,
We visited Aldi at Oakham car park ok for our 7.35mt motorhome, We have given 4 rates for children and families, only because there was no children on site but the area looked good.
Our only complaint is directed to people who think they have the right to go against the park rules and let their dogs off on site when they aren’t asked to keep their dogs on a lead, I think they are totally ignorant, while we there there were 3 vans that ignored the the rules
Moan over, overall a great site
Be careful what you read this is an excellent site
Rutland Caravan and Camping Site
We have just returned from a five day stay at this excellent site. The reviews we had read were not very positive so we took a trip to see for ourselves before booking As we couldn’t find anything of concern so went ahead and booked and were not disappointed.
The location is superb, the amenities especially the pool were just outstanding.
The staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. All pitches are fully serviced which was very good, although please note that the power hook up supply is limited to 10 amps.
We were on a family pitch as all adult pitches were booked, we will book in plenty of time for our next visit as we did prefer the adult environment.
We would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf pub in the village where we enjoyed a superb lunch with wonderful cuisine and excellent service.
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend you to look beyond some of the negative comments that have been made and visit this excellent site to see and judge for yourselves.
KEITH & LIS Astin.
