We walk around fabulous award winning Eye Kettleby Lakes and visit Melton Mowbray for breakfast and to buy a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie, but fail to find parking at the Melton Country Park.

Hi Poshcats, myself and my wife Sue are also Suffolk people and went here just before 'the virus' hit. Fantastic site. Hotel class shower blocks, superbly maintained grounds, and that brilliant pub/entertainment building on site. We came 3rd in the quiz night event, as the 'Fruitloops'. It was all certainly worth the trek from Suffolk. Top tip . . . don't tell friends you are are off to Melton Mowbray, or you end up with a shopping list for Pork pies that you have to keep fresh and cool before you can hand then to them! Thanks guys for your entertaining vlogs.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks Alan, we really enjoyed our stay here. The bar and restaurant were very nice indeed but we didn’t have a meal. We were very impressed with the friendly staff on site and definitely recommend the site. Haha I like your advice about pork pies 😂 They were so nice, even Sue joined me with a pork pie salad 👍🏻😃 Trev

[@GoingGreenMom]

I am amazed at how well kept and elaborate the facilities seem to be at your campgrounds....

[@PoshcatsCamping]

This one is particularly good with very nice washrooms and a clubhouse with bar and restaurant. The fishing lakes and all the roads on site are also very well presented. Lovely place to go camping 😃🚐 Trev

[@WormsEyeView]

Such lovely old stone buildings. Like the Cotswolds.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

It’s quite a nice spot there. They know how to make pork pies 🤣 Trev

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Nice looking site, love the individual pitches. Don't forget the Pork Pies. It's true what you say, can't remember the last time I had cash on me LOL. You are so lucky to be there with Bob and Jenny, It means you don't have to share your pork pie LOL. Great tour of the site, thanks for sharing. Mark & Coral

[@PoshcatsCamping]

I noticed Sue had some of my pork pie. Even though she said she didn’t like it 😆 I should have bought two 🤣🤣 Trev

[@keithandmichele]

Great video, wonderful site & lovely to meet you both. Looking forward to catching up again in the future 😀 Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks for a lovely evening. It was lovely to meet you both. Hopefully catch up again soon 👍🏻😃 Trev n Sue

Lovely video again. This site looks really beautiful and we’ll certainly pay a visit. The pork pies look delicious. Thanks for sharing Trev. All the best Kev & Tracey

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks Kev and Tracey, see you both soon 😃👍🏻 Trev n Sue

[@Victoria2cupsadayVlogger]

The pork pie and salad looked really good, loved all the old buildings, cute little town. :o)

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We thought it was market day but it wasn’t so it was quieter than we expected 😃 Trev

[@stewchesman5259]

Great video again and a really nice site. The individual washrooms are really good. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your time ;))

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Stew 😃👍🏻 Trev

[@birdnest5814]

Very nice campground. I’ve never had a pork pie, but it looks yummy 💕👍😊

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Melton Mowbray is famous for a secret recipe pork pie and it really is yummy 😃 Trev

[@janischapman2644]

Hi To You Both, Thanksfor very informative video. Will be there Monday next week. Weather looking not too bad either . Janis & Maurice (Milestone). Can’t wait for your next one.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Hi Janis & Maurice we remember you 😉 it’s lovely at Eye Kettleby. We are back out very soon 😃🚐 Trev n Sue

[@andrew-karens-adventures]

It's a great site, can't believe Southern Meadow was empty on my walk around, we were on Pitch 26 in the cul-de-sac, no cheese so can't be a ploughman's 😂🤣😂

[@PoshcatsCamping]

The site was pretty full when we were there as they had the Rat Pack entertainment on the Saturday evening. Even so, it was very peaceful. 😃 Haha Cheese would have definitely made it a Ploughman’s 👍🏻 Trev

[@rob20452]

Fantastic value for 3 nights, I prefer the winter months more cosy!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We thought it was quite good value and a very comfortable campsite. Winter camping is very different to the summer for sure. We love it too 👍🏻😃 Trev n Sue

[@MarkandNic]

Great video, we are heading to Eye Kettleby on Thursday for a few nights, staying on Southern section, will be our first visit and looking forward to it, but Westgate Carr in Pickering on Monday then over to Eye Kettleby 🤙🚐

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Great choices Mark. We are back at Westgate Carr in July. Another lovely campsite 😃👍🏻 Trev

[@WormsEyeView]

I've never been to Melton Mowbray but drove past it on way to Nottingham once. Looks like a nice place.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

The Country Park is lovely but not Van friendly 🤔 Trev

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Trev and Sue, the site is very well laid out and seemed to go on forever, loved all the lakes you could walk around. So pleased you got your Melton Mowbray pork pie and it looked very nice too. Glad you enjoyed the Rat Pack, the facilities there were very good x

[@PoshcatsCamping]

The facilities on this site were first class. The gardens and lakes were lovely to walk around and we imagined it would be amazing in summer. Take care Julie 😃🚐 Trev n Sue

[@LeisureBit]

Great video of the campsite looks really vast and well arranged with what looked like pretty good views. Rachel liked the heated individual showers. Shame about the height barriers into the park, I saw Bobs video and was funny to see the two perspectives. Great tip on the cafe, we’ve added the site to the to-do list, and of course the pie. Have a great weekend, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Have a great weekend David & Rachel, the site is very popular so you may need to book ahead but the good thing is you can choose your own pitch on their web site 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

[@jaynehook2520]

Lovely site, definitely one to add to our list x

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Yes award winning this one. Not many will beat it in our opinion and we think it would be amazing in summer 😃 Trev n Sue

[@jaynehook2520]

Yes really lovely site and so spacious. It’s very rural so quite quiet too. 😃🚐 Trev

Hi Trev & Sue, interesting look around the site and Melton Mowbray. Been to The Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe and it's true, it's the best pork pie I have ever eaten. ( it has to be done) 😀

[@PoshcatsCamping]

It was a lovely site and winter visit to Melton. We had our successes and failures but it all ended well with that pork pie and meeting friends 😃 Trev

[@WormsEyeView]

Height barriers are the bain of my life!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Totally 😡 Spoilt my afternoon that day. Hey Ho their loss we made lunch back at the van 🚐 Trev

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

On a mission for food? Been there done that LOL. On pork pie heavier lol. And on to a cafe. This is like a serious food and drink mission. Looks like a really nice campground. I enjoyed seeing all the food. Of course, one of the pups would be very interested in what you're eating lol. Darbi always gives me that look like she's starving. And sometimes it's right after she's eaten LOL.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Haha thanks Felix, we did have a lot of food in this one. I probably need to start my diet soon 🤣🤣 Yes, the pups are permanently hungry and will eat almost anything but not my chilli 🌶 🤷🏼‍♂️ Trev

[@peterdrury8859]

Yeah great review that👏

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks very much 😃👍🏻 Trev

[@travelswithbilbo7526]

Another good vid, are sites becoming more and more expensive? £100 for three nights is getting close to chain hotel and bnb prices. We are being asked to supply the hotel and pay for the room.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Yes Ian, sites and clubs are seeing their costs go up and up. I hope that more sites will offer a basic non electric hardstand pitch at a discounted price so camping remains affordable 👍🏻😃 Trev
