It's especially good for toddlers, as it has a nice play area, a duck pond, lots of mature trees and squirrels, and in summer there are two paddling pools. When the weather is good, a very charming Italian gentleman rolls up in his equally vintage ice cream van, I remember him from when I was a kid myself! The Hall itself is now a school, but has some nice gardens around it which are good for picnicking. There's free parking and no entry fee. The toilets can be a bit gross in summer.

What a great campsite. First off, we chose this location because you can build a campfire. The site…read moreitself is not that big but what they do have is nicely manicured. As we were going at close of season, we almost had the site to ourselves! There is also a shop on the grounds that has almost everything you could need if you've found you left something behind. Plenty of showers and toilets and a refrigerator to store items like freezer packs and the odd bottle of champagne. And for those who like to fish (not us) they have fishing on site. And for those who don't like camping in a tent, they have a few old gypsy caravans available for hire.

From the owner: Our family-friendly park sits alongside the River Thames in the picturesque village of Hurley…read morebetween Henley-on-Thames and Marlow and has been run by four generations of the same family since 1926. With direct access to the River Thames and the Thames Path we are perfect for lovers of the river and walkers alike. For those with a boat or canoe we have two slipways and for those without we have over a mile of river frontage for picnics. With the lush green countryside of the Thames Valley all around, red kites circling above and the river traffic gliding past it is hard to believe we are only an hour outside London. We offer a happy, family-friendly atmosphere and only accept bookings from families and couples. We are proud that many of our caravanners and campers return year after year and recommend us to family and friends. In fact some of our customers who visited us as children now bring their own grandchildren!

This site misses out on 5 stars, for a few points, some of which are being improved upon due to…read moreongoing site upgrades, others which need consideration. None of them spoiled our weekend, and for the price, this site is a gem. The site has two fields for camping. The first includes both tents and caravans and includes power points. It also features free-range chickens, which we decided to avoid. The other field was dedicated to tents and has no electric hook ups. On the minus side: A water tap in the 'tent' field would save relatively long walks with heavy water cans. Whilst the new showers were very good and clean, the water did run cold at busy times over the May bank holiday weekend. The showers are new for 2011 and the water heating is due for an upgrade in 2012, so this problem should be short-lived. Note the old showers to the rear of he Hall still require a 50p payment in the meter. Not a problem for me, but if you're used to wet shaving, there was a lack of hot water and a mirror in front of a sink On the plus side: afternoon cream teas were served from the coffee shop on the lawn An on-site bar and coffee shop An on-site farm shop, with farm shop prices, but the quality to go with it 5 minute walk to the Kings Arms, Wing Within a stones throw of Rutland Water Free wi-fi available in the vicinity of the hall well priced campsite and friendly staff Overall, I would recommend this site to a friend, especially if you're an outdoor type looking to explore Rutland Water and the surrounding countryside.

It's easy to get lost even with a well-marked race route! A little-known bit of history about the park is that the Georgian hunting lodge was used as a POW camp for German officers and was heavily bugged. The British were able to learn all the Nazi plans, but were unable to act on many of them due to the various levels of military intelligence involved, and subsequently the Cold War. It was as important as Bletchley but receives none of the prestige as it was all ordinary translation and not high-tech codebreaking. I'd really love to go go back and try the Go Ape high ropes course - looks a blast but we were exhausted from the race!
