We have booked the rally field at the Rutland Caravan &
Camping site in Greetham, in England’s smallest county,
Rutland.
Please contact the site directly to book on 01572 813520
(9am-5pm). Prices are
shown on their webpage and based on a pitch price plus a charge
per person per night. Dogs and under 5s stay free and there is a £1
reduction in the prices for rallies. Please say you are part of the
Geocaching rally and you will be booked onto the rally field with
everyone else.
There are 18 pitches with electric hookup and we have reserved a
further 30 without, and all are suitable for tents, caravans or
motorhomes/campervans. There is a £20 deposit for each electric
hook-up pitch if staying two nights (non-elec pitches pay in full
when booking) and the manager Jan has said she can only hold the
pitches without a deposit for a month or so, so please book early
if you would like to attend.
Non-camping day visitors are welcome to attend; there is a £1 pp
charge for parking and use of the site facilities – please
pay at Reception on arrival and collect a car park pass.
The site has nice washrooms, a shop, children’s play area and
even has Wi-Fi (but unfortunately this is no longer free). A
Fish-n-Chip van visits the site on Saturday evenings too (5-8pm).
BBQs are allowed (but not open fires).
If you are attending please log a Will Attend below and state
whether you need an electric or non-electric pitch so we can keep
track of the numbers.
The
Discover Rutland website has lots of information about the
local area if you’re wanting to extend your stay.
Please bookmark this page or place it on your watchlist for
updates.
Update 17.04.10: We have visited the site and checked it out -
it all looks great, we've uploaded some photos of the facilities. A
new series of caches will be released at 10am on Saturday 10th
July, with a couple of shorter options for those who don't want to
walk so far. Non-campers are welcome to join us for fish n chips n
geochat around the campfires on Saturday until 9pm (when the
campsite requests visitors to leave).
4th July 2010: IMPORTANT UPDATE: The site is
now FULLY BOOKED so if you want to attend you will need to ring the
site to ask if they have any cancellations. There is an
alternative, seasonal Caravan Club site if you are a CC member:
Greetham House Farm. It is a certified location and you have to be
a caravan club member to use it. It only takes 5 caravans. The
number is 01572 812616. Cost £8 per night.
Another CL is Stretton Lakes, Great North

Karon (lgxkls) for the info. .
We have also been asked to request PLEASE
DON'T BRING SKY LANTERNS. Pretty as they are, the crops round the
site are very dry and there was a near-miss this weekend when one
came down too soon and nearly started a fire. Thanks!
