  • 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 to the Peak District National Park to the north, or the Vale of Belvoir to the east. 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 decent grub. 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 of bagging 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.

Ruth g.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked lovely small (ish) site, a lovely new and clean toliet and shower block.
good wifi, and a lovely welcome from the owner, stayed in a camper van

Disliked no room to pass other people using the washing up facilities - too much of a tight squeeze behind where you stand, also not big enough draining area, my plates all slid off on to the floor- just a suggestion to make a bigger area once the site gets busier.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review, plate drying racks now included which we hadn't thought to include so appreciate the suggestion.

Excellant Site with very clean facilities.

Liked Great site. Neat and tidy. Toilets and showers are clean and well kept, (could do with a hand wash sink in the toilets though) Always hot water available. Site is well located for local sight seeing. Site owner/manager are very friendly. I shall return!

JOANN H.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Jumbo pitches !! We fitted a campervan, tent, gazebo and car on with room to spare. Ray came and explained where everything was. Showers/toilets were nice and clean, even when the site was busier we never had to wait. People have said about the plane noise but that’s to be expected and it didn’t bother us at all.

Disliked People not picking up after their dogs. So annoying doing the dodge the poop walk to the toilets.
Showers could do with abit of ventilation.
