About the site
Set in the shadow of Fotheringhay Castle's ruins and just a short drive from the market town of Oundle (10 minutes), this back-to-basics site is the perfect spot for an (almost) wild camping break. Right on the banks of the River Nene, it's a great site for paddleboarding, kayaking and wild swimming. Spacious grass pitches set on a large field, welcoming tents, campervans and caravans. Pitches aren't allocated, so guests can choose where to set up camp. The site also has five certificated caravan pitches for Caravan and Motorhome Club members only. An entire field can be booked out for larger groups looking to spread out. Dogs welcome.

Great views from the higher part of the site, although we couldn't see the river from our pitch. The countryside was beautiful & Fotheringhay is charming. Site rules about noise & well behaved dogs were respected which made it very restful. Portaloos were kept clean & stocked. All very nicely done. Kaz was a great site manager.
Gem!
