I've heard that Billing is a bit of a nightmare actually...noisy and poor facilities for tenters.My brothers got a static caravan there and he's alright with noise but said i'd hate it.

Wicksteed park is supposed to be nice.. very basic facilities and no ehu...but quiet and you can pitch where you like.
All hearsay though...have you looked on UKCampsite?

I know that Wicksteed hasn't got any shower facilities at the moment if that's any help.

thanks!! We live in Northampton so don't think we'll go to Billing - but too Butlinsy for us! Will look at Peterborough and OLney. We've also heard about Rutland - anyone been?
Cheers! Praying for sun!!!
