We visited Billing Aquadrome in August 09 and had a wonderful time! Our group was 4 adults and 2 infants (10 and 16 months)and we hired a lodge (The Hampton Lodge)
The lodge was nice,clean and spacious for our two little ones. We had a clean kitchen with simple cookery basics (although there was no frying pan!)The three bedrooms had clean bedding and the bathroom was clean. We where unsure what facilities where available to start with e.g travel cots,towels,cutlery but a quick e-mail and a prompt reply was all that was needed.
On the down side we over looked a lake which was very dirty with stagnant water and colourful toys amongst other thing floating past every now and again! The grass was covered in duck,geese and swan poo so we couldn't walk around without shoes on but we appreciate that's nature and after the grass was cut we where able to have a BBQ on it!
There could be more tourist information of things going on in and around Great Billing and Northampton as had we not had an iphone we would have found it hard to know what to do. We recommend a visit to Whipsnade Zoo where the elephants where being walked by the keepers and North Lodge Rural Centre where you can watch pigs being raced and milk a wooden cow.
We didn't really like the look of the pubs on site but there is a nice pub near the travel lodge near by which is family friendly.
We didn't witness any of the rowdiness or groups of youths described in other reviews and overall we felt very safe and i would have been happy to let my daughter (had she been older that 16 months!) play out.
As we stayed in a lodge we didn't use the facilities for camping and as i have said we didn't visit the pubs or restaurants on site prefereing to cook in our lodge.
Although there is some updating and cleaning of the site to do i would be happy to visit again.
