  • 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

Peaceful adults-only site with immaculate new facilities. Spacious pitches. Great for local walks & pubs. Friendly staff. Minor points: no sinks in some loos, occasional plane noise. Suggestion: better motorhome waste, more shower hooks.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Lovely camping field with walks going from it with nice villages close at hand

Disliked Very Near East Midlands Airport so noisy. Also near Donning track used by bikers in early evening adding to the noise.
Strange configuration of toilet block no wash hand basins in wc’s only sanitiser was strange. No shaver sockets or hair dryers again strange for a site that takes tents as well as motor homes.
For a newly created site with new gravel hard standing we still needed ramps surly they could have been made level.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Friendly site with good clean facilities in a great location for walks, village pubs and Calke Abbey. The shop/post office in the village of Breedon has long opening hours and is only a 10-minute walk. Free WiFi is a nice plus.

Helen J.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Excellent communication before hand. Ideal location for attending Donington Park! Layout of the site felt spacious but created quite a friendly atmosphere. Facilities were spotless and well maintained. Peaceful site despite being close to East Midlands Airport. Great size site, bigger than the certified site we normally go for but not too big either.
