  • 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?

Liked Very clean facilities that are being added to. New addition was a warm dog shower.Simple procedure to get onto the site. Other reviews have said about the toilets not having a sink and only hand sanitiser. Most sites don’t have a sink in the toilet you have to come out to wash your hands which is what you do here. You have the added protection of being able to sanitise your hands though before opening the door. Airplanes could be heard yes but this was not annoying in anyway. Overall one of the best sites we have stayed on as it ticked all the boxes we need. Would definitely return.

Liked Le paysage, les emplacements bien plats sur gravier, le bloc sanitaire tout neuf et propre, l'accueil du propriétaire

Disliked La difficulté à réserver le jour même, pour la première nuit sur pitchup le site était soi-disant complet, et nous n'avons pas trouvé de numéro de téléphone. Heureusement, d'autres campeurs nous ont aidé à contacter le propriétaire. Pour la deuxième nuit, la réservation sur pitchup a fonctionné.

Lovely site. This was 2nd visit and already booked again.
