  • Adults-only campsite in hilly countryside near Market Harborough
  • A 10-minute drive to Foxton Locks, and 20 to Lutterworth
  • Covered communal eating area; dark skies site and wildlife haven
Base yourself at Valley View Campsite for a peaceful, adults-only stay among Leicestershire hills and valleys near Market Harborough, or use the place as a base for day trips to the bright lights of Birmingham (an hour’s drive). Either way, those far-reaching rural views come as standard on all the spacious pitches. No-frills facilities cover spotlessly clean showers and loos. Barbecues are allowed or you can pick up takeaways in Fleckney (five minutes’ drive) and eat in The Barn, an undercover communal dining area for unwinding, meeting fellow guests and doing the washing up. If the weather is behaving and conditions are right, you may catch some colourful sunrises and sunsets, and as the area has a low level of light pollution, some serious stargazing is possible on clear nights. The site is also something of a wildlife haven, so keep your eyes peeled for sparrow hawks and buzzards, rabbits and deer. Dogs are welcome at Valley View, and there’s a separate area where you can take them for exercise.

What customers say

This adult-only site boasts amazing valley views and a peaceful vibe. Guests rave about the spotless facilities (hot showers included!) and the cozy communal barn with sofas and free hot drinks. Owner Helen's friendliness and helpfulness are a highlight. Pitches are usually good-sized and level. Minor mentions: showers can get busy, electricity costs extra. A top choice for a relaxing rural escape.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A small number of spacious peaceful pitches with stunning views and bird life makes this site very special. The owner, Helen, was always on hand and made us feel very welcome. Toilets and shower very clean and fully functional. Sofas and tea making facilities in the barn were a real bonus when the weather broke. Walks to Laughton, Saddington & Mowsley, close to the reservoir and Foxton Locks. Adults only - bliss!

Donna B.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The pitches facing the farm are absolutely beautiful and very spacious. Helen was ever so friendly and made sure to meet us when we arrived and showed us around. The site is lovely and peaceful with clean facilities. The shower does not have one of those ghastly timers so you can have a hot shower (I'm convinced I spend less time and water given I don't have the stop start of a timer!)
It is a working farm, so expect cows moo'ing and sheep bleating or tractors hard at work. Wi-fi was very good at our pitch.

Disliked nothing, we loved it and will definitely be back.

Local attractions

Starting in the village of Mowsley, have a wander on foot around the Laughton Hills or do some exploring on horseback from the local riding stables (both five minutes’ drive). For a gentle stroll, follow the Grand Union Canal towpath out of the village – it’s an easy walk to Foxton Locks (10 minutes), where you can watch barges ascend a flight of 10 locks, hire a boat to chug along the canal yourself, or have a nose around Foxton Canal Museum (15 minutes). Exercise completed for the day? Foxton Locks Inn is the spot for a virtuous post-walk pint and a bite to eat. If you have the urge to spend some of your hard-earned cash, Market Harborough (15 minutes’ drive) is packed with antiques emporiums and unusual shops, or try Lutterworth (20 minutes) for its historic Thursday market and stick around for a tour of elegant 17th-century Stanford Hall (20 minutes, check opening dates before you visit).
