  • Small well-maintained site in the scenic Leicestershire countryside
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of Eye Brook Reservoir and Rutland Water
  • Dog-friendly site two miles from the nearest pub
Make yourself comfortable and soak up rural views over Leistershire's Welland Valley at Hidden Hideaway, a small-scale site two miles from the village of Hallaton. Hidden away (as the name suggests) in a spacious and sheltered camping field, these pitches are well-placed for idle or active breaks in Central England's pretty countryside. Staying here puts a good number of footpaths within easy reach, with a few rights of way directly accessible from the site. The pride and joy of Hidden Hideaway has to be the site's very well-maintained toilet and shower block (see the photos for a more detailed inspection). Other handy amenities are available here, including a nifty chemical disposal and grey water point. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome on site, but please make sure that they're on a lead at all times when out and about and kept outside of the facilities block. Hallaton's village pub (which is also dog-friendly) is a couple of miles away if you're on the hunt for relaxed drinks or a meal out, while for a supermarket shop you're best off heading to the several options available in Market Harborough (20 minutes' drive).

What customers say

This campsite is frequently praised for its stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and exceptionally clean facilities, including constant hot water. Guests highlight the large, spacious pitches and the friendliness and attentiveness of the owner, Ellie. Fire pits and an honesty shop are popular additions. Minor points include occasional issues with farm dogs being a nuisance (measures are being implemented), some pitches having a slope, and the rough entrance drive. Despite these, many guests express a strong desire to return.

Hare 2 bedroom safari tent

Liked - beautiful peaceful surroundings
- great hospitality from Ellie who made us feel very welcome during our stay and checked in on us
- the Ice creams in the honesty shop were much appreciated in the heat wave!
- there wasn’t anything we could fault the place was perfect for a quiet and relaxing getaway!
- it was great to sit out star gazing in the hot tub
- we also enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and the children spent lots of their time on the trampoline too!
- we enjoyed our time so much we extended our stay
- it was lovely to only be able to hear the sounds of wildlife no car noise at all

Liked This beautiful site is absolutely one we wouldnt hesitate to return to.
First off..
The owner - Ellie is a wonderful host who checked in with us when she could (its a working farm after all) and was polite, knowledgeable and very helpful. I recieved a message after our first night to make sure all was ok, which we thought was really nice. All in all, a lovely person.
The site - The camping pitches are HUGE with enough room for a.large family. It is as level.as it can be, and very cosy. It is exposed, so the wind is constant, although that could also be because of the time of year.
The Facilities - basic but very very clean and smelt lovely and fresh. There is hot hot water, a couple of showers and toilets. The washing up area is between 2 toilet/shower rooms and again, was clean. There is also the ability to dispose and recycle rubbish at the allocated bins. Dont do what my other half did though and walk straight past them, or you might end up facing a cow staring deep into your soul.
Final Verdict- Would definitely stay here again. It was peaceful and calming. The night sky is stunning, and waking up to nature's sounds is the icing on the cake.

Local attractions

It's water, water everywhere at Hidden Hideaway – there's trout fishing and walking at Eye Brook Reservoir (20 minutes' drive), historic towpaths and waterside pubs at Foxton Locks (15 minutes), a big lake, birdwatching and waterpark at Rutland Water (20 minutes) and, for some indoor exercise, a public swimming pool in nearby Market Harborough (20 minutes). For a mix of meals out, bargain hunting and smart independent shops, head to nearby market towns like Market Harborough, Uppingham (20 minutes) or Oakham (30 minutes), where you can also take the kids for animal-themed jaunts at Rutland Farm Park. The very special town of Stamford (35 minutes) over in Lincolnshire also warrants a day trip or two, especially if you're a fan of Georgian architecture. If you're on holiday with the kids, they'll likely appreciate visits to the National Space Centre in Leicester (45 minutes), Twycross Zoo (an hour and 10 minutes) or Drayton Manor Theme Park (an hour and 10 minutes). And for something more serene and sedate? The graceful gardens around Burghley House (45 minutes) and Belton House (an hour) will take care of that.
