A peaceful spot for soaking up the Leicestershire countryside, Dads Cave Camping sits on the edge of Desford village, right next door to Tropical Birdland and 25 minutes by car from Leicester. It has just a small number of spacious pitches in a field with calming rural views; you’ll have plenty of room to unwind, listen to the wildlife and simply enjoy being away from everyday cares. This back-to-basics pop-up is all about keeping things simple but comfortable for family stays. There are a couple of basic toilets, a washing-up sink and access to clean, fresh water for drinking and cooking. If you don’t fancy alfresco cuisine, there’s a quality café a few steps away from the field and a cosy pub within 10 minutes’ walk. Dads Cave Camping is surrounded by valleys and woodland crossed with walking routes. Dogs are welcome to share your camping adventure (and walkies), but to keep wildlife, livestock and other campers happy, always keep them on leads while on the pitches – and pick up after them too. The site has a strict leave-no-trace policy, so please respect the environment by minimising waste, sticking to designated paths, leaving natural features untouched and keeping noise levels low. You’re welcome to have a campfire, but raised off the ground so the grass doesn’t burn. When you leave, your pitch should look exactly as it did when you arrived: pristine and untouched.

Det siger kunderne

En fredelig, enkel campingplads med store pladser, ideel til solorejser eller familier. Faciliteterne er rene og funktionelle. Fremragende kundeservice, god værdi for pengene. Nærliggende Tropical Birdland er en god aktivitet for børn.

Areal til telt eller autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om The owner popped in to say hi and check everything ok. He was lovely so that is a big positive.
We were here for tropical bird land and this is right next door. You would think this would make it noisy but the trees cut this out.
Also village of Desford is gorgeous and in walking distance where there is a pub and a shop, also a nice heritage trail to follow.
Loads of trees have been planted so the site will look even better in a few years with lots of privacy.
This is a very small site, we were midweek so were fortunate to have it to ourselves, apart from the alpacas and donkeys of course.

Syntes ikke om No hot water and portaloo toilet but knew this before we came so didn't really affect us.

Areal til telt eller autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Great little spot if you want to come for a solo camp or a trip with the family, plenty of pitch space and enough room to set up small games..badminton/football etc

Customer service was fantastic, we had zero problems during our stay, we had to bring a second car and the owner was more than willing to accommodate our needs

Facilities were very clean and tidy and although basic, provided us with all the things we would need, fresh water, a place to wash up and most importantly, a toilet

With the camp being within the grounds of tropical birdland there’s plenty for kids to see and do and you’re only a 5 minute walk back to your pitch, you also have the benefit of a secure coded gate once birdland closes for the night, you’re free to come and go as you please so long as you ensure the gates are shut behind you

All in all we had a brilliant stay, will definitely be coming back for a solo camp in the near future and in my opinion, is great value for money in terms of location and pitch size

Areal til telt eller autocamper med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Spacious pitches. A peaceful back to basics campsite with clean portable toilet, pot washing sink and water. There is a chemical waste point if needed. Good location on the edge of a village ( which has a Co-Op) and easy to get into Leicester. Tropical Birdland next to the site has a tearoom although we didn't have a chance to use it. Friendly and helpful owner. Good instructions for arrival.

Lokale seværdigheder

All the family will surely love communing with the cheeky parrots and exotic flamingoes at Tropical Birdland (direct access); there are also colourful tropical birds in walk-through aviaries. Another great family day out can be had at Twycross Zoo (25 minutes’ drive), with hundreds of animals and conservation-focused exhibits. You can combine a family hike with a history lesson on Desford Heritage Trail (five minutes’ walk) through local villages, and learn all about 1485’s Battle of Bosworth Field at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (15 minutes’ drive) on guided tours of the battle site. Thornton Reservoir (five minutes) in the National Forest lends itself to gentle lakeside strolls, wildlife spotting and fly fishing for trout at the fishery. There’s also a golf course – and crazy golf for younger visitors – about five minutes away by car, and if you fancy more high-octane days out, Mallory Park (10 minutes) hosts motor racing and track events.
