What customers say
This well-kept site offers spacious, often serviced spots and immaculate restrooms. Guests praise its peaceful vibe, friendly owners, and proximity to East Leake village. Alpacas are a hit. Downsides: aircraft noise and occasional dog kennel sounds. Some noted road condition issues and limited restrooms when busy.

FHU grass campsite
Liked Really lovely small adult only site with great facilities. The owner was very helpful with restaurant and takeaway recommendations on East Leake. All other visitors to the site were very friendly. The owners also have 5 lodges on site which look lovely. I have passed the details to my mom and partner who are always looking for somewhere lovely and local to stay. We will certainly be back at some point!

FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Peaceful site with around 9 hard standing pitches, a few grass pitches, and 5 well equipped pods. Facilities were excellent, 2 bathroom, washer/dryer, fridge and books for sharing.
Scenery was stunning with the Nottingham power station on the horizon. Being in the flight path for East Mids Airport was an added bonus, with a handful of planes roaring above us.
East Leake was a great village for shopping, pubs and food.
Definitely be returning.

FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Bathrooms were lovely and clean. Only two toilet/showers but we never had to wait.
Alpacas, obviously.
Warm welcome on arrival.
Boardgames available for those evenings in.
20-25min walk into the centre of East Leake.
Pitches are spacious and tidy.
Disliked Unfortunately it is in the flight path so the peace is interrupted during the day if you're planning on just staying at the site.

FHU grass campsite
Liked Really clean site, loved the alpacas. Very quiet (other than unavoidable noise from planes that didn’t bother us at all). Great space for dogs to exercise! Nice large pitches with water and electric.
Disliked Would prefer the toilets to be separate to showers as only two. It was very quiet so not an issue this time, but could see it being more of an issue if the site was busier.

Fantastic campsite, just be aware it’s on the EMA flight path.
FHU grass campsite
Liked Fantastic number of limited pitches that are all fully serviced and are of a good size.
Nice and clean facilities to wash and shower etc.
Nice to wander round and see the horses and alpacas.
Disliked Because it’s on the flight path of EMA, it’s very noisy at night to sleep.

FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Super quiet site with horses and alpaca’s
Nice walks and close to town with all the usual shops, pubs and takeaways. It is close to East Midlands Airport but the noise from passing planes is very low and didn’t bother us at all.
Very pleasant site team made us feel very welcome.
Yes we will be coming back if possible
Disliked If you want to to use an awning you will need rock pegs and a large hammer. as the hard standing bases appear to have quite rocky foundations.

Overall nice site but aircraft noise and unwelcoming owners tarnish it
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked * Easy access from the M1
* Very well presented site
* Large, almost flat pitch, no ramps needed, just minor levelling on steadies
* Ample space even for a 7.5m A Class
* Clean, warm toilet and shower facilities
* Excellent washing-up facilities
* Well-positioned for a 20+ minute, flat and safe walk into East Leake village, with good amenities including shops, cafés and pubs
Disliked * Only two toilet/shower rooms, both en suite, meaning queues are likely at peak times
* Chemical waste point located by reception, making it a longer walk than expected from pitches
* Significant aircraft noise due to location directly under a flight path, including early morning and late-night flights
* No clear mention of aircraft noise on the official website or booking description
* Owner came across as distant and unwelcoming, which impacted the overall feel of the stay, we felt like an intrusion rather than a welcomed guest.

FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Lovely location, friendly owners. Clean facilities. Added bonus alpacas. Also not everyone's cup of tea but loved being under the landing path of East midlands and watching the planes go over.
