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.

Liked Super quiet site with horses and alpaca’s
Nice walks and close to town with all the usual shops, pubs and takeaways. It is close to East Midlands Airport but the noise from passing planes is very low and didn’t bother us at all.
Very pleasant site team made us feel very welcome.
Yes we will be coming back if possible

Disliked If you want to to use an awning you will need rock pegs and a large hammer. as the hard standing bases appear to have quite rocky foundations.

Liked Alpacas

Disliked Everything else, only 2 unisex showers with toilets. Also the way we were spoken to on arrival was not very welcoming. He asked us if we were smuggling a dog in the van and he wasn't even joking. He then accused us of reversing into his wooden post because it was crooked, my partner has a high level driving licence and I was guiding him. We had paid to stay for the week but left the next day and found a much better campsite with a warm and friendly welcome.
Also must be on the flight path for an airport because the noise of aircraft was loud.

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 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.

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.
