  • Quiet, rural adults-only site on the Leicestershire-Derbyshire border
  • Donington Park Circuit and East Midlands Aeropark five minutes’ drive
  • Countryside views; 10 minutes’ walk from the village pub
Do you like the sound of direct access to the National Forest, with its miles of scenic wooded tracks for walking and cycling? How about adding in views of Derbyshire’s centuries-old St Mary and St Hardulph Priory Church, atop Breedon Hill? If you answered ‘yes’ to both, 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, and 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, that the site has modern showers and loos, and that – although barbecues are allowed on site – you’re only 10 minutes’ stroll from a popular Breedon on the Hill pub that serves decent grub. On arrival, get set up and… just chill. Life will take care of itself. Sit back, relax, watch the horses in the 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 have a pretty decent chance of bagging yourself a truly spectacular sunset. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

What customers say

This adult-only site has clean, modern amenities and spacious, level pitches. Guests love the friendly staff, peaceful vibe, and beautiful countryside location with great local walks. Mostly quiet, but occasional noise from nearby East Midlands Airport and Donington Park is mentioned. Great for short stays.

Sally D.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Arrival directions sent in advance, a warm welcome on arrival. Decent, spacious hardstanding pitches, pretty level and with water and EHU. An attractive rural site but walking distance from the villages. Quiet, calm. Good dog walking on site.
Facilities are sparkly clean, lots of hot water in showers and wash-up area.
When the many trees mature it will be an even better site - but already a great place to stay. Good value.

Disliked The showers and WC are off an open walkway, so could be chilly in colder weather. But they are well built, clean and efficient.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Really peaceful site. Lovely site managers, spacious pitch, very clean. Great facilities for dogs, including warm dog shower.
Only reason why I didn’t give it 10 is because some of the locks on the toilets weren’t working, but tgr team are aware and we’re going to fix them.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely tidy site, with a good amount of space and a beautiful setting with scenery all around. Showers and toilets really clean. Only stayed the one night on this occasion but will certainly use as a stopover in the future or a base for a couple of days as there is plenty to do in the vicinity.
WiFi was flawless.

Local attractions

Petrolheads make a beeline for Donington Park Circuit (five minutes’ drive), which has a lively calendar of motoring events, from the popular British Superbike Championship to a vintage motorsport festival. And on track days, you can also drive your own car (yes, your Fiat 500 also qualifies) on the circuit. On the north-western corner of East Midlands Airport, East Midlands Aeropark (five minutes) is an aviation museum with dozens of aircraft displayed on the lawn, including a Gloster Meteor fighter jet from World War II. Engines and other aircraft components fill a separate hangar. On the outskirts of Leicester, the National Space Centre (35 minutes) includes the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium (the largest in the UK) and the 42-metre tall Rocket Tower, which houses interactive exhibits on Earth and the universe, plus a gallery illustrating life as an astronaut in space.
