Lovely location with a great sunset. Not as quiet as expected due to traffic noise, however, still a great place to relax. A little restricted on places to visit if purely on foot - we tried walking to Oakham but turned back after about 2.5 miles due to an absence of pavement, so drove there the next day. If we came again we would bring our bicycles to get around. Facilities were clean and sufficient for our needs.

Great couple of nights pitch with fantastic views over reservoir perfect for a couple of days off grid using our own toilet and washing facilities in motorhome did not need electric we have leisure batteries and inverters even used laptop for work stuff we will be back wonderful walks direct from site Lyndon reserve for Ospreys and cycle track

Directions were clear and easy to follow, access was no problem with plenty of turning space. Jason arrived as we were setting up and helpfully pointed out all the facilities. Two phone numbers were provided at the information she’s in case of difficulties or for further info should it be needed. Lovely view of the water from our van and fabulous sunsets. Very little road noise, the whole place was quiet and peaceful. Ideally situated with Stamford and Oakham a short drive away plus, of course, the church at Normanton just down the road. Weather was a bit iffy while we were there but that certainly wouldn’t put us off returning, and the Paddock would be our first choice of campsite.

This is our 2nd visit. Love the site! Quiet, lovely view. Not bothered by anyone. Pitches far apart. Lots of walking and cycling. We had a lovely day fishing on Rutland Water! Lots to see and do. We’re from Scotland and despite the distance I’m sure we’ll be back!!!

I am always a little reticent to recommend places I really like in case I jinx it for future stays. This time I’m making an exception. Perfect location overlooking Rutland lake. Beautiful spot and very well kept. I was there for 2 nights and used it as a base for watersports; however equally as good for those into walking and wildlife. There is no shower/toilet block but I think that is one of the reasons it is the peaceful haven it is. I will definitely be back

Easily accessible site, friendly owners, good location overlooking Rutland Water. Generally a well manicured and maintained site. The bottom corner of the site needs to be cleared up where it spoils the overall rating from being excellent. The addition of WiFi would make it almost perfect. Also gravel paths to the water points and bins would save bringing grass into the caravan. The owner recommended The Fox Inn for Sunday Lunch and it lived up to its reputation.

Meet and greet excellent.Clean siteLayout excellent Well maintained

A very tidy and well maintained site in a great location within walking distance of Rutland Water and a short drive away from the attractive county town of Oakham

Easily accessible site, quiet and well maintained with small "wild" areas to encourage nature. You need to be self sufficient. There is a central chemical toilet emptying facility and two 'grey waste' points. About half are grass pitches, half now gravel hard standing and a gravel road serves all. For EHU you may need a longer cable than on some sites, as two pitches share one point. Jason and (Dad) Brian, drive in on a daily basis to maintain and check all is well.The Paddock is ideally situated above the Lyndon Nature Reserve known for viewing the osprey. The access road leads on past The Paddock down to visitor center.Unless you are a good walker you will need a car or bicycle to get around. There is a local bus service through nearby Manton, whether or not it picks up from the end of the access road, I don't know. Within easy walking distance is the Rutland Water Garden Centre with a very busy restaurant at peak times.

We had a relaxing stay Owner came to make sure all ok.Very windy but managed to get some fishing in!!!Ate at the Horse and Jockey Manton lovely meal.We have already booked to return to the Paddocks at the end of May. Hopefully the weather will be better.
