  • Small, quiet Leicestershire site 15 minutes’ drive from Loughborough
  • Donington Park Circuit 10 minutes’ drive; Twycross Zoo 25 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches on a farm with a shop and canine-exercise area
When you’re looking for peace and simplicity (aka few frills) in rural surroundings, consider a stay at Camping at Manor Organic Farm, 15 minutes’ drive from Loughborough in Leicestershire. Taking over the corner of a field on a family-run farm, the site is a handy couple of minutes’ drive off the road along a well-maintained farm-access track, and is totally secluded from noise or light pollution. Facilities stretch to water from a hose and a simple shower and loo block. This quiet spot is a happily dog-friendly site with a safe, secure canine exercise field (charges apply) and plenty of well-maintained footpaths directly from the farm. If you’re holidaying with animal-mad kids, you can all meet the family goats, horses and rare-breed cattle and sheep in the farmyard. You won’t have to look very far to find gourmet treats, as the farm is home to an organic shop (open Wednesday to Saturday) with a bespoke butchery and bakery, while the local village of Long Whatton (less than five minutes’ walk) has two pubs (one welcomes dogs) that serve food every day. There are supermarkets and a petrol station within 10 minutes’ drive of the campsite, while the towns of Loughborough and Coalville are both about 15 minutes’ drive for shopping sprees, cafés, bars and leisure centres.

Liked Rural setting, great place to stay to get away for a relaxing break. Children loved the mini farm at the farm shop, especially the very friendly pigs, goats & sheep. The Falcon pub is nice and close for food and drinks.
