Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Very spacious pitch, full service pitch.
They horses are directly opposite which was lovely 😍. The alpacas were very funny to watch.
The toilets are nice and warm. Shower was hot. There is a fridge and small freezer to store your things if not got electric. Washer and a dryer for the cost of £6, which was handy.
Lovely small adults only camp site 🥰

Disliked The 30 so aeroplanes that fly directly above your tent all through the night. Also across the field is a kennels and cattery. Which we could hear the constant sound of dogs barking! So haven't had a good night's sleep for a week.

Liked Really lovely small adult only site with great facilities. The owner was very helpful with restaurant and takeaway recommendations on East Leake. All other visitors to the site were very friendly. The owners also have 5 lodges on site which look lovely. I have passed the details to my mom and partner who are always looking for somewhere lovely and local to stay. We will certainly be back at some point!

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Really clean site, loved the alpacas. Very quiet (other than unavoidable noise from planes that didn’t bother us at all). Great space for dogs to exercise! Nice large pitches with water and electric.

Disliked Would prefer the toilets to be separate to showers as only two. It was very quiet so not an issue this time, but could see it being more of an issue if the site was busier.

Liked Fantastic number of limited pitches that are all fully serviced and are of a good size.
Nice and clean facilities to wash and shower etc.
Nice to wander round and see the horses and alpacas.

Disliked Because it’s on the flight path of EMA, it’s very noisy at night to sleep.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked We had a fantastic stay from start to finish. The site was beautifully maintained and exceptionally clean—we genuinely couldn’t fault a thing. It’s a wonderfully peaceful setting, perfect for switching off and relaxing, with the added bonus of watching the horses putting on a show in the fields.

There’s a lovely walk into the village, along with plenty of public footpaths nearby to explore, making it ideal for getting out on foot or by bike and enjoying the countryside at your own pace. The facilities were spotless throughout and clearly very well looked after, which made a real difference to our stay.

The staff at the Nags Head pub were amazing—friendly, welcoming, and a great addition to the overall experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend it to others looking for a peaceful getaway.

As for the planes, we honestly don’t understand the negative comments. We found it lovely to watch them coming in to land, and it was completely quiet at night. If noise is a concern, it’s worth checking the location before booking—but for us, it didn’t detract from the experience at all.

Disliked Honestly, nothing about the site itself. The only minor issue was some particularly lively neighbours celebrating their new campervan and inviting friends onto the campsite to see it. However, the owner handled it quickly and things settled down, which we really appreciated. It’s worth mentioning this wasn’t a fault of the site at all, just one of those things—and it didn’t take away from an otherwise excellent stay.

Liked Spacious and clearly-marked pitches, good facilities, easy checkin process. Good base for surrounding areas, although wouldn't stay for just the site itself.

Disliked Noise at night from planes and dogs barking (the dogs seemed to be somewhere local to the campsite and not on the site, so possibly something they can't control)

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, clean site with spacious pitches and excellent, modern facilities. Guests enjoy the peaceful surroundings, alpacas, and proximity to East Leake village. However, the site is located under the East Midlands Airport flight path, resulting in frequent aircraft noise, and nearby dog kennels can also be a source of noise. Some reviews mention an unwelcoming initial reception and strict site rules.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch

Liked Peaceful site with around 9 hard standing pitches, a few grass pitches, and 5 well equipped pods. Facilities were excellent, 2 bathroom, washer/dryer, fridge and books for sharing.

Scenery was stunning with the Nottingham power station on the horizon. Being in the flight path for East Mids Airport was an added bonus, with a handful of planes roaring above us.

East Leake was a great village for shopping, pubs and food.

Definitely be returning.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch

Liked Bathrooms were lovely and clean. Only two toilet/showers but we never had to wait.
Alpacas, obviously.
Warm welcome on arrival.
Boardgames available for those evenings in.
20-25min walk into the centre of East Leake.
Pitches are spacious and tidy.

Disliked Unfortunately it is in the flight path so the peace is interrupted during the day if you're planning on just staying at the site.

Local attractions

Close to base, you can ride the steam-powered Great Central Railway (15 minutes' drive); amble towards East Leake and watch the trains puffing through if you only fancy a glimpse. Other local activities of note include spots such as Rushcliffe Golf Course (five minutes), Lakeside Sporting fishing lakes (15 minutes) and Prestwold (10 minutes), where you can get behind the wheel of a turbo-charged car. Visit more motorsport spots, starting with nearby Donington Park Circuit (20 minutes), or try some old-school four-legged racing at Nottingham's racecourse instead. When the heat of the action's worn off, consider taking a trip to the John Taylor & Co bell foundry, the biggest such site in the world. If campanology doesn't quite chime in with your idea of a dream break, perhaps you'll be taken by alternative heritage sites like Calke Abbey (half an hour) or Belvoir Castle (40 minutes), where the architecture and formal gardens are as good as certain to pass muster with history buffs. Rutland Water (45 minutes) is another promising destination if you're minded to get up to walks, bike rides, birdspotting or watersports in a thoroughly natural setting.
