Midshires Way Campsite and Alpaca Farm

Μου άρεσε 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.

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

Μου άρεσε lovely big pitches and the site was very clean. Easy to find and some great pubs near by for food

Δεν μου άρεσε Unfortunately the bathrooms were locked from 10pm

Μου άρεσε 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

Δεν μου άρεσε 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.

Μου άρεσε * Easy access from the M1
* Very well presented site
* Large, almost flat pitch, no ramps needed, just minor levelling on steadies
* Ample space even for a 7.5m A Class
* Clean, warm toilet and shower facilities
* Excellent washing-up facilities
* Well-positioned for a 20+ minute, flat and safe walk into East Leake village, with good amenities including shops, cafés and pubs

Δεν μου άρεσε * Only two toilet/shower rooms, both en suite, meaning queues are likely at peak times
* Chemical waste point located by reception, making it a longer walk than expected from pitches
* Significant aircraft noise due to location directly under a flight path, including early morning and late-night flights
* No clear mention of aircraft noise on the official website or booking description
* Owner came across as distant and unwelcoming, which impacted the overall feel of the stay, we felt like an intrusion rather than a welcomed guest.

Μου άρεσε Lovely location, friendly owners. Clean facilities. Added bonus alpacas. Also not everyone's cup of tea but loved being under the landing path of East midlands and watching the planes go over.

Μου άρεσε The pitches and general paths and gardens are all very well maintained. The site is easy to locate and is in an ideal location near East Leake, which can be used for pubs, shops etc.

Δεν μου άρεσε The staff were unhelpful, before and during our arrival. We had contacted to say we'd be arriving later and whether that would be ok, the answer was very unclear. When we did arrive, the reception was closed which is ok, but we had no idea where to go or which pitch we were. The staff were very rude on the phone and seemed very eager to get us off of the phone. The toilet blocks are nice and private, but there is only a mop left for users to clean afterwards, which resulted in some very dirty showers. I think it should be very clear also that this site is directly under the landing path for East Midlands Airport, making it very loud all night.

Μου άρεσε Nice size pitches kept tidy and grass areas nice, washing machine and dryer available, clean pot wash area, shower room and toilet area tidy

Δεν μου άρεσε We were there from Tuesday through to Friday, during that time showers/ toilets not cleaned at all, stains in toilet still there when we left, dead spider still on shower surround, floor dirty not washes at all during time there and bins left unemptied.

Μου άρεσε 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.

Δεν μου άρεσε 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.

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

Δεν μου άρεσε 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)
