Clear filters Idilic views peaceful but far too many campfires
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Surrounded by the Rutland countryside, this picturesque camping site has become very popular.
Very popular with families and groups of friends, Cuckoo Farm Campsite is sure to attract visitors to unwind while enjoying the small River Welland. The facilities are good with a little shop on site too. You can purchase logs and hire a fire pit which is very popular.
With lots of people having fire pits, you are surrounded by smoke which is a bit off putting. My only suggestion is to have designated area where fire pits aren't allowed. The road to the campsite goes down a steep gravel hill, so a slow and steady approach is needed.
All in all, it was a nice weekend with the kids camping.
Great place
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Such a lovely find.
Well kept and very clean campsite, will definitely come back. Loved the little lambs running around but never saw the pigs?
Only negative was the lawn mower going up and down whilst trying to relax but I suppose you have to cut the grass.
Stay at cuckoo farm

Fabtastic Site!
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 Great open space, river and trees to the rear are lovely. The shop is great, really good selection of fresh meats, wines and fresh coffee... hurrah!
Highly recommend, staff are very helpful & friendly.
Great site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 Lovely friendly staff, beautiful site and clean facilities.
The little shop is great and has all you need as well.
Great peaceful location, amazing staff and facilities
Small Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2025 A brilliant place to get away. My only small negative was the proximity to train line making noises on and off, but other than that it was great and peaceful.
Lovely
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Lovely campsite, well located, clean facilities and lovely addition of goats.
One of the most welcoming beautiful campsites
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 This was hands down one of, if not the favourite campsite of the year. They give you clear and easy directions to reach the site, and once you're there everything is clearly signposted.
The facilities were in fantastic condition and spotlessly clean. Even though we stayed at the end of the season, the farm shop still had a wonderful selection of fresh and frozen meats, as well as plenty of other items you may have needed.
The staff were incredibly friendly and were great to chat with, we can't wait to come back next year for another stay!
Rural bliss with the goats
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 We had an idyllic fellowship with your goats and sheep just over the fence. We need to remember the chocks to stop us rolling down the hill in bed. But the best was the industrial dish washer!
Great campsite!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 This is one of the best campsites I've been to in a while! The area is completely surrounded by animals (goats, sheep, deer) and they are super friendly.
Was slightly worried at first that they would make a lot of noise in the morning as they are right outside the tent. However, that really wasn't an issue and it was lovely hearing them. The facilities (showers, toilets, washing up areas) were very clean and were regularly cleaned by staff. The farm shop was good value and stocked all the essentials!
Great for kids and groups of friends or family. They have a quiet policy after 10:30pm and it was great. Super quiet and peaceful. 10/10 recommend.
Quirky campsite with things to do for all ages
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Happy with the directions to site, facilities where good and clean. Plenty of space on site. Nice and quiet.
Fabulous stay, great location, great site!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Beautiful central location, 10-15 minutes from most attractions. The farm was really well presented, clean and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. It was family friendly, and felt very safe. No negative comments to make. It was a great campsite and we loved it!
Our stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Really well kept site with plenty of space. Ideal location for exploring the Rutland area.
Lovely site

Fab!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Cuckoo Farm Campsite was fabulous. A lovely, relaxed, easy going campsite with great facilities. The site was very well kept. Farm shop was great for organic meat and essentials. Staff really helpful and friendly. Fire pits welcome and BBQs. Lovely dog walks from the campsite. All round, it was fab. Highly recommend!
2 night stay in July
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Really brilliant campsite in a lovely spot! Toilets and showers were clean and tidy, Wi-Fi was great and the site was lovely and quiet for both nights I was there!
Fabulous spot
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 We booked a last minute 2 night spot and were thrilled. The site is in a beautiful position and is run immaculately, the little on site shop is really useful and the shower blocks were fantastic.
Lovely smart campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 We really enjoyed this campsite, it felt simplistic and rustic but had good, smart, clean bathrooms and a reasonable farm shop that had everything we needed - including the ability to hire a fire pit.
There was a lovely river that the kids could play in and it felt very safe. Only small negative was that families were having so much fun, it definitely wasn't quiet by 10.30pm as stated, but it didn't matter too much. We'd definitely go again.
Superb campsite near Rutland Water
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 We stayed for 3 nights at Cuckoo Farm Campsite, myself and my two children, aged 10 and 13.
This is a fantastic site for kids. There is a huge tipi in the corner of the field where you can play table football or table tennis for free (£1 for a ping pong ball or bring your own). There are a couple of rope swings near the shallow river (one is actually low over the river) that you can paddle in. Sadly, it wasn't quite warm enough when we were there.
Lots of the kids were out playing in the evening and my two joined them for site-wide game of hide and seek. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The shop stocks a reasonable range of useful items, such as bread, milk and BBQ food. The burgers and sausages, which I believe are made by the farm, were excellent.
Location wise, the site very quiet in the countryside, on a farm and a 10-15 drive to Normanton Church on Rutland Water, or Stamford. The main thing I came away with from our visit is that the site is really well cared for. The toilets were very clean, the showers were hot, there is a freezer for general use and even an outside 3-minute dishwasher charged at £1.50 per go. The "noise curfew" was respected by all, which meant we all had a good night's sleep each night.
We'll definitely look to return soon and try to combine it with a Sunday morning tour of the working farm. We had a great time. Thank you.
Lovely campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 What a lovely, family friendly site. The team work hard to maintain a high level of cleanliness.. The farm shop is very well stocked and you get a friendly welcome.
