  • Small, quiet Leicestershire site 15 minutes’ drive from Loughborough
  • Donington Park Circuit 10 minutes’ drive; Twycross Zoo 25 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches on a farm with a shop and canine-exercise area
When you’re looking for peace and simplicity (aka few frills) in rural surroundings, consider a stay at Camping at Manor Organic Farm, 15 minutes’ drive from Loughborough in Leicestershire. Taking over the corner of a field on a family-run farm, the site is a handy couple of minutes’ drive off the road along a well-maintained farm-access track, and is totally secluded from noise or light pollution. Facilities stretch to water from a hose and a simple shower and loo block. This quiet spot is a happily dog-friendly site with a safe, secure canine exercise field (charges apply) and plenty of well-maintained footpaths directly from the farm. If you’re holidaying with animal-mad kids, you can all meet the family goats, horses and rare-breed cattle and sheep in the farmyard. You won’t have to look very far to find gourmet treats, as the farm is home to an organic shop (open Wednesday to Saturday) with a bespoke butchery and bakery, while the local village of Long Whatton (less than five minutes’ walk) has two pubs (one welcomes dogs) that serve food every day. There are supermarkets and a petrol station within 10 minutes’ drive of the campsite, while the towns of Loughborough and Coalville are both about 15 minutes’ drive for shopping sprees, cafés, bars and leisure centres.

Spacious, level pitches with stunning views. Spotless facilities, friendly owners, and a great farm shop. Some noise mentioned, but earplugs recommended. Honesty box a nice touch.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely location, the farm shop and animals you can go and see and buy from was brilliant. Toilets and shower facilities were spotless and we saw cleaned multiple times during our stay. We walked to The Falcon pub which truly is a 5 minute walk and super friendly!

Disliked Noise of aeroplanes going over. They were great to watch during the day but if you are a light sleeper definitely recommend earplugs

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely views and set back from road, amazing shower and friendly farm shop just over the road .

Disliked Sawdust Eco toilet is joined onto shower. No hard partitions between the two rooms. Unpleasantness listening to strangers use the toilet while showering.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked It was easy to find and check in, the field was level and well kept, big pitches, super clean composting toilets.
I stayed here while attending download festival and was so glad I did. Quiet and peaceful and only a 20 min drive to the festival and 30 mins back. I will be back!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We camp a lot, so we weren’t expecting too much, but what a fantastic surprise this little site turned out to be! Spotlessly clean, tidy, and with shower and toilet facilities. The pitches are spacious with gorgeous views, giving you plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

A short walk takes you to a dog-friendly pub and the local shop, and while the motorway hum is there at first, you soon forget all about it. Light sleeper? Bring earplugs, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Watching planes take off and land was such a fun extra.

The honesty box for extras like fire pits was a brilliant touch and made the stay feel even more special, something a few other wild campsites could definitely learn from.

All in all, a little gem of a campsite. We’ll be back for sure!

Disliked Having to go home.
