Two Rutland Touring Parks Earn National Recognition Following Site Inspections

Two popular touring parks in Rutland have been officially named among the UK’s finest places to pitch up, securing spots in the prestigious Premier Parks collection following independent site assessments.

Rutland Caravan & Camping at Greetham and Stretton Lakes near Oakham have both joined the curated national guide, which showcases around 100 of the best campsites and touring parks across the country. Before earning a place in the collection, each venue undergoes a thorough on-site inspection by the Premier Parks team, evaluating pitch quality, on-site facilities, landscaping, setting, and proximity to local attractions.

While both parks sit in the heart of England’s smallest county, they offer distinctly different experiences for holidaymakers:

Rutland Caravan & Camping (Greetham) 

Welcoming visitors since 2002, this family-run park sits on the edge of Greetham village and caters to a broad range of guests with separate family-friendly and adults-only zones. Open year-round, it features serviced pitches alongside standout amenities including a heated indoor swimming pool.

Stretton Lakes (Stretton)

Located roughly eight miles from Rutland Water, this tranquil retreat is set within 120 acres of scenic farmland and woodland. Offering 40 lakeside touring pitches with complimentary coarse fishing for guests right from their pitch, the site already boasts VisitEngland 5 Star Gold status and a 2024 VisitEngland ROSE Award.

Jack Hart, spokesperson for Premier Parks, praised both destinations for what they bring to the guide: “Rutland Caravan & Camping and Stretton Lakes are a really good fit for Premier Parks. They have their own characters, strong settings and give people a real reason to stay in the area, which is exactly what we look for when putting the collection together.”

The recognition arrives at a strong moment for Rutland’s visitor economy. Figures from Discover Rutland show tourism generated £174.88 million for the county in 2024 a 2.8% increase on the previous year with 1.49 million visitors supporting 1,553 full-time equivalent jobs across the region.

Further information, facilities, and booking details for both sites can be viewed via their official profiles on the Premier Parks website.
