What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches and a peaceful atmosphere with beautiful views. Visitors consistently praise the excellent, clean, and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities, often described as modern and warm. The owners are frequently highlighted as exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful. A small on-site shop for essentials is a convenient addition. While most found the site quiet, some noted occasional noise from a nearby country lane, particularly if pitched close to it.

Liked Great little campsite, one of the nicest toilet and shower facilities I've seen. As the weather was bad we were allowed to park of the hard standing so the car didn't get stuck in the mud. Definitely somewhere to stay if in the area

Excellent venue
Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very clean and warm facilities, with lots of additional features to help with any forgotten items. Flat pitches with a fabulous view. Backed onto what was a quiet lane, but five minutes off the A42. Host really helpful.
Disliked The weather :-)

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Everything!
Lovely and quiet place, we came as a family of 4 and enjoyed our stay.
The amenities are very good - heated towel rack to dry towels, kettle, plug sockets a washing machine if needed (even had sponges and washing up liquid) The toilets & showers were very clean and looked after - shower water was nice and hot.
Great views, our children particularly loved watching the horses grazing the fields!
We loved the idea of the little shop which unfortunately we didn’t use as we didn’t bring any change, but the idea is great and really handy if you’ve forgotten to bring something to your camping trip!
Overall a beautiful and peaceful stay, would definitely recommend to others and will definitely be coming back.

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.
