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 new, adults-only spot gets rave reviews for its quiet vibe, clean grounds, and welcoming hosts. Guests love the tidy facilities, roomy spots, and beautiful area with great local trails and pubs. A few noted slight airport noise and occasional missing sink space in restrooms, but most are eager to come back.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Well managed site, the wardens were very prompt greeting us on our arrival and explained about the facilities.

Disliked Disabled toilets were locked?
I witnessed a caravan or motorhome owner washing out the chemical toilet with the drinking water tap even though there was a sign?
£4 for a small dog is expensive, when there are no other facilities for them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We do not have a disability toilet on site and one of our toilet and shower rooms was closed for maintenance .
All motorhome/caravan owners are advised where the waste disposal areas are on arrival. The manager was informed and the facility was immediately sterilised and the guest was informed of the error he made.
Sorry you feel our charge for a dog is high but we do provide a dog walking on lead area within the site and also a dog washing shower with hot and cold water. There are also many dog walks around our site.

Third time we've visited this campsite…

Liked Third time we've visited this campsite and although it was busier than our previous visits, it is a very quiet site.
A short drive to Melbourne if you need supplies.
Toilet/shower block clean.
The wardens, Kerry and Trevor friendly but not intrusive. Will definitely visit again in 2027.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, apart from leaving!!!!

Liked What a little gem ! Kerry emailed day before with instructions . Lovely welcome on arrival . Spotlessly clean facilities . There was even a dog shower provided .
There's a lovely hobbit house to stay in , which would suit a motorbike traveller looking to stay whilst at Donnington race track .
We only had a one night stopover , but would return . Definitely recommend.

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.
