Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Small and friendly site.
Dog friendly.
Great location just outside Loughborough.
Very peaceful.
Lovely shower block.
Even has a washing machine, not that I needed it.
Kettle was handy though, for my early morning cuppa. Saved me setting up my own catering arrangements in the van.
Would highly recommend.

Worth a visit, a small friendly site.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely welcoming site. We arrived late afternoon in storm Claudia. The field was too wet so we were allocated a patch next to hard standing.
We enjoyed our stay. The toilet/shower block was really good with plenty of hot water.
We will come back next year when the weather picks up!
Disliked Close to road and cars were whizzing by but we were only on that bit because the field was too wet.

Excellent small site with clean facilities and friendly owners
Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The owners are very friendly and helpful and responded to our questions promptly. The small site has a beautiful view over fields with the sun rising over the village in the background. Facilities are clean and all that you need including washing machine and heated towel rail in the communal shower block.Situation was perfect for us travelling to the North as was an easy drive to the main roads but situated in the countryside. Slight road sound from a not busy road nearby but this didn't bother us at all.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, good value for money.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly and helpful welcome from staff. The facilities were excellent, very clean and well maintained. Scenic location with a relaxed vibe and enjoyed the sight and sounds of the horses that are onsite. Best firepit of any of the campsites we've been to and a great amount of logs to use. Very good value for money. Would definitely visit again in future.
