  • Quiet, rural adults-only site on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border
  • Donington Park Circuit and the Cloud Trail both five minutes’ drive
  • Countryside views; 10 minutes’ walk from the village pub
Liking the sound of direct access to the National Forest, with its miles of scenic forest tracks for walking and cycling? How about adding in views of Derbyshire’s Priory Church of St Mary and St Hardulph atop Breedon Hill? Camping without any kids? If you’ve answered “yes” to all three questions, then you should be heading for Barley Fields Holidays on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border. This peaceful adults-only site also has stunning views of the Vale of Belvoir to the east and is a 45-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District National Park. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, you’ll be pleased to learn that your dogs can join you, the site has modern showers and loos, and – although barbecues are allowed on site – you’re only 10 minutes’ stroll from a popular Breedon on the Hill pub that serves homecooked food. So… on arrival, get set up and… just chill. Life will take care of itself. Sit back, relax, watch the horses in neighbouring fields and see if you can spot/hear any of the following: cuckoos calling in late spring, swallows arriving on their early summer stop-overs and birds of prey circling overhead. And on clear evenings, you’ll be sure to bag a truly spectacular sunset. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

What customers say

Fair dinkum new, adult-only campsite. Blokes love the spot, clean kit & friendly staff. Sites are grouse, flat & have ace views. A bit of plane/racetrack noise, but mostly chill. Motorhome stuff's a work in progress. Near pubs & walks.

Liked Beautiful site in the countryside. Facilities are spotless. Welcomed by Dave on arrival who went to the trouble of getting me a slab ( as a motorcycle stand) and brought it to where I picked my spot.
WiFi was an unexpected bonus

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Lovely rural setting with views across the field and up to the church.
Clean loos and showers in individual cubicles.
Secure site with locked gate.
Easy to get to from A56 and M1.
Plenty of local walks and very close to Cloud Trail cycle route.
Shop/newsagent in nearby village and choice of supermarkets in nearby Ashby.

Disliked Somewhat surprising shower/toilet facilities. Ladies have only access to one wash basin and that was in a lockable cubicle with loo and shower so not accessible at all if anyone else was using it. Men have two wash basins AND a hand drier in a men's only cubicle with urinals. No hand drier for women at all. Fortunately it wasn't too busy when we stayed so not so important and all facilities were kept clean during our stay.

Paul M.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Clear arrival instructions and owners available by text for any questions.

Amazing toilets/showers (even the dog
shower!) - spacious and spotlessly clean.

The tent pitch was perfect - level and stone free; all the tent pegs went in all the way first time.

Not too busy so able to find a great pitch.

Disliked The only negative thing would be the planes from East Midlands Airport are quite noisy but you do get used to them (these are probably outside of the campsite's control!)
