What customers say
This is a peaceful and well-maintained small campsite in a beautiful rural setting, praised for its clean and quirky facilities, particularly the excellent showers. Owners are noted for being friendly, welcoming, and responsive. Pitches can be sloping, but levelling ramps are available. Easy access to local villages and Leicester. Some found pitches narrow or electricity limited. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a relaxing break.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch
Liked O Toilets and showers excellent - very clean and showers were very powerful. Peaceful site though I’m not sure this would be the case if it was full. Nicely landscaped tent pitches. Good dog walk. Pretty at night with strings of lights.
O Owners very responsive to texts - they delivered a hose pipe within minutes so that we could fill our onboard water tank. I mentioned I had trouble closing the door to the ladies and the next time I used the facilities it had been fixed.
O The walk to Houghton across the fields took us an hour (our sense of direction isn’t the best even with instructions 😘) The Old Black Horse serves lovey food at reasonable prices, staff are very friendly and dogs are welcome in the Snug. A lovely man in St Catherine’s Church let us use their loo and was very happy to share the history of the 800 year old church with us. We chose to stick to the main road (A47) on the way back (there is a good footpath to Galsby Lane) which was a lot quicker.
Disliked O Enclosed by trees so no view unless you go to the high ground or leave site
O Pitches are very narrow and not all have a large enough grassed area to put up an awning. The gravel on most pitches is enclosed in wooden planks which are higher than the grass which can make the transition from the van to the grass quite tricky.
O There was an issue with wasps during our stay which Glenn was aware of and he indicated that it may be because of the bins. Luckily we have bug blinds on the windows so we were able to open the windows to keep the van cool. Had we not had these it would have been a nightmare!The bins are at the side of the amenities hut and you have to walk past them to get to the ladies toilet. Maybe moving the bins to the entrance/exit which is common practise at a lot of the sites we visit would be better.

Lovely, clean, quiet and welcoming site.
Electric gravel motorhome pitch
Liked It was very welcoming, we had a message from Saffron and Glenn with all the instructions before arrival with all our check in instructions. Site is very pretty, especially at night with fairy lights lining the path from the road to the pitches. Toilets and showers were clean and easily accessible. They have a new on-site shop which is really cute. Will return with our children.
