Powered gravel RV campsite
Liked: The site is beautiful and well secluded, tucked away into its own little corner. The toilets and showers were really clean with lots of hot water. Good wifi connection too.
Disliked: The conifer plants outside the toilets - completely at odds with all the native planting elsewhere and completely unneeded, as far as I could work out. Hardly a problem though in terms of staying here!

Primitive grass tent campsite (sloping)
Liked: Quiet location (OK the combine harvester was working till 10pm but that's countryside life!) Fantastic showers, best of any campsite I've used. Super helpful and swift responses from owners - including recommendations for local curry restaurants! Check out Rose & Crown, we got a takeaway.
Disliked: Sloping site which meant not such a great night's sleep in a tent. And we had the choice of anywhere. Whilst immaculately clean on arrival by the next morning the shower unit floors were covered in grass and water. Suggest owners install a mop.

Liked: Small bijou friendly site. Shepherd hut toilets and showers were a pleasant surprise, clean and more than adequate. Dogs were made very welcome there and nearby walks. A definite return for us.
Disliked: Tad hilly…… forearmed is for’warned. It really want that much of a problem.

Primitive grass tent campsite (sloping)
Liked: Proximity to Leicester city centre, quite luxurious Very responsive staff
Disliked: Overcrowded. The website said they would only accommodate 6 tents, but turnt out there were 9 tents at one night. Inclined camping field, making us quite difficult to stand in our tent. Neighbouring tents were too noisy with loud speaker. Frequent aeroplane sound during day and night. Shower rooms were a bit to crammed, and the floor always wetted.
