  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A lovely simple set up, turn up, pitch, sit and relax. Views are stunning. The new compost toilet is managed throughout the day, the shower, does the job to freshen you up.

The farm shop had a great choice of meats and local produce. Perfect our bbq. We hired the kettle grill and kindling which was available at only £5 for the stay!

A small village, pretty to walk through, two great pubs 5 mins either side of the campsite. We had an amazing Sunday lunch.

Lots to do in and around the area. We visited Bradgate park to see Lady Jane Grey's house.

We were two families with teenage kids. Just wanted a couple of days away from everything. We would definitely return.

Liked Stumbled across this campsite and we will most definitely be going back. Great location. Lovely farm shop. Rented a fire pit and had a camp fire. Has a honesty box for buying eggs and some home baked sweet treats. Lovely field for dogs to run around. Great facilities. Walked to a local canal and had Sunday lunch. Very secure field.

Jade K.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We (myself and my 10 year old daughter) had searched for a while for a dog friendly campsite that wasn’t overly expensive, when we stumbled Manor Farm, which is literally on our doorstep! (Leicester to Loughborough 34 minutes)
This was our first time proper camping and it was also the dogs holiday.
We absolutely loved it! We took loads of games with us as we wanted a device free weekend but didn’t even use any of them.
The other campers were lovely, the space around the campsite was perfect to allow the dog to walk without a lead and it is in the centre of a little village. Local pub was a 4 minute walk and the food was lovely.
Across the road, to the actual farm, the animals are there for you to see and feed and the manor shop was lovely, with a butchers too! We had a lovely cut of steak and the locally brewed beer and cider was beaut.
The shower and compost toilet were nice and clean and my daughter fell in love with Lilly, the horse that lives in the field at the end of the road 😍
We will definitely be back and have recommended Manor Farm to our camping friends!
