Northamptonshire's holiday parks follow the Nene valley. Great Billing and Cogenhoe, just east of Northampton, sit beside lakes and the river, and Kettering has a holiday park of its own.
Residential parks spread across the county at Kettering, Sywell, Blisworth, Northampton, Earls Barton, Rushden, Wellingborough and Corby.
Billing and Cogenhoe sit on the Nene flood plain, so ask the riverside parks about their flood history and winter closure. Ask each residential park for its age rule and pitch fee. The M1 and A14 put London, Birmingham and Cambridge within about 90 minutes.
