FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked: Immaculate facilities, friendly staff. Lovely landscaped fishing area. Close proximity to the town & nearby National Trust attractions
Disliked: The road noise was constant and very loud on the pitches down by the fishing lake. It was constant & horrendous. The noise from the planes was also awful as the site is directly under the EMA flightpath. If you're a light sleeper, this is not the site for you. Such a shame for us as we loved everything else about this beautiful site.

Large pitches on a mainly level site. Aircraft noises very detrimental

Powered grass campsite
Liked: Small site with a focus on fishing. Pitches were spacious and the grass well maintained. The fishing was pleasant, well stocked and maintained. The site was basic but quiet, tidy and well maintained.
Disliked: The site is on a flight path for nearby East Midlands airport, with planes flying low during the night as well as daytime. There was also possibly a music festival nearby as loud music for a couple of nights until about 11.30. Would have liked for hot water to be available in the toilet facilities, and more than 1 shower in the camping field. The washing up point was outdoors, and not cleaned very well.

Powered grass campsite
Liked: Nice and peaceful looking, not too strict on the pitch limitations. Pleasant couple running the place. Nice and tidy, hot water, flushing toilets, nice shower. 10 mins at most from Donnington Park (great for us)
Disliked: Constantly has planes flying over as it is in the flight path for EM Airport. Could do with another shower or two. I can imagine that if the site was full, showering would become a chore. Perhaps increase the load rating on the electricity as it kept tripping our RCB whenever someone hooked up. Had a devil of a time washing the tree sap off the camper, might be worth trimming the trees back along the fenceline behind 10,11, etc.
