Quiet, rural adults-only site on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border
Donington Park Circuit and the Cloud Trail both five minutes’ drive
Countryside views; 10 minutes’ walk from the village pub

Liking the sound of direct access to the National Forest, with its miles of scenic forest tracks for walking and cycling? How about adding in views of Derbyshire’s Priory Church of St Mary and St Hardulph atop Breedon Hill? Camping without any kids? If you’ve answered “yes” to all three questions, then you should be heading for Barley Fields Holidays on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border. This peaceful adults-only site also has stunning views of the Vale of Belvoir to the east and is a 45-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District National Park. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, you’ll be pleased to learn that your dogs can join you, the site has modern showers and loos, and – although barbecues are allowed on site – you’re only 10 minutes’ stroll from a popular Breedon on the Hill pub that serves homecooked food. So… on arrival, get set up and… just chill. Life will take care of itself. Sit back, relax, watch the horses in neighbouring fields and see if you can spot/hear any of the following: cuckoos calling in late spring, swallows arriving on their early summer stop-overs and birds of prey circling overhead. And on clear evenings, you’ll be sure to bag a truly spectacular sunset. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Absolutely loved this site and for only being open approx 3 weeks at the time of our stay, they have done a great job!

Nice pitches, beautiful views, especially looking into the horse and donkey field. Facilities are great, some are unfinished but I believe they are being done asap. It didn’t put me off as these things take time and sites need to be open to make money.

Amazing 9 mile walk through villages such as Breedon, Wilson and ending up in Melbourne them back to the site. Most off road.

The only negative feedback I would give and it was nothing to do with the site itself, it was more our neighbours insisting on having their dog off lead on site. Even when I mentioned my dog could be reactive if approached by another dog off lead, they didn’t put their dog on a lead. This absolutely does not reflect on the site though. I’ve only mentioned this just so the owners are aware.

It’s my kind of site and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Newly opened campsite in a beautiful part of the country . Could walk / cycle for miles without having to drive any where.
Three horseshoes was a friendly welcoming pub that did a great Sunday dinner .
Toilet and shower facilities spotless .
Email communication and check in was very easy

Disliked: Constant hum of road noise.
Not many facilities. If the campsites was full I think it would be a problem .
