Electric hook ups are available togeather with the onsite facilities. The site is open all year round and we welcome long stay visitors. |
Set in parkland in a rural location, our camping facilities are an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside and all the local attractions Rutland has to offer.
You are also welcome to bring your family pet instead of leaving them at home. On site we have a small shop for those last minute items you may have left behind and full facilities are available in our shower and toilet block.
For the keen angler we have two course fishing lakes available on site, nearby you will find Rutland Water and Eyebrook Fishing reservoirs that both offer trout fishing.

with more than 200 pitches available
for camping in four different areas.
Limited electrical hook ups are available.

The camping site is located on the edge of Wing village which has one public house offering a range of food with full restaurant facilities. If you fancy exploring further afield, there are public houses located in our three nearest villages and Uppingham town is only three miles away and Oakham is just five miles.
We usually require you to book on weekends and especially bank holidays but most of the time we can accommodate last minute arrivals. |

Set in an acre of peaceful rural countryside, the two course fishing lakes cater for the needs of our visitors; whatever your level of expertise. Both lakes are set in natural surroundings and have islands in the middle of the waterways.
The lakes are well stocked with carp, tench, roach and crucian carp. To date, the largest fish caught in the lakes is a 27lbs carp, although this is a rumor and we have no official verification of this. On an average day, 15lbs carp are not uncommon.
No advanced bookings are necessary but we would advise contacting us just in case there is a fishing match. Most of the time we welcome you to just come along, pitch your equipment and we will come along to collect fees sometime during the day.
Camping is available on the main Wing Hall camping site if you would like to have an extended stay or we can arrange night fishing by request. Opening times are from dawn to dusk, although earlier opening times are available on request
General course fishing rules apply and are posted at the entrance to the lakes.
