  • Quiet site on a Leicestershire field 10 minutes’ drive from Hinckley
  • Mallory Park or Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seasonal produce in the farm shop; breakfast and lunch available
Leicestershire bound? Perhaps you’ll end up at Bradshaw Farm, a site on a working farm situated between the two rural villages of Stapleton and Dadlington, with Hinckley 10 minutes’ drive away. Pitches are on a nicely level field, and there are simple shared shower facilities. Every last weekend of the month (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and on bank holidays, the site has a range of wine, beer and spirits for guests to buy. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop across the road, where you can pick up seasonal fruit, veg, fresher-than-fresh organic produce and home-grown plants; you can order a hearty cooked breakfast and tasty lunch there too. If you’re looking for a decent selection of pubs and restaurants to try, Hinckley (10 minutes’ drive) is the place to head for; you can top up on any other supplies from the supermarkets while you’re there. In general, this place is a fine choice if you want to get away for some R&R in the countryside.

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked The site is large and plenty of space and pitch choices. Lovely quiet site. Nice walk along the quiet country lane to the pub. The weather was fantastic (which helps alot). It is a VERY basic site. Water tap, portaloos (2) Shower (1). Great price £14 for the night perfect for what we needed - 1 night stay over whilst picking up our son from Uni. We didn't visit the farm shop or have breakfast, which i would have liked to have done. Just had no time.

Disliked The portaloos were smelly and really yukky, dirty toilet paper all over the floor, bin overflowing (The site was busy mind and it was hot - some people really are rather disgusting). No water to wash your hands after, just hand sanitizer.
The shower was a good size (it's in a shed). Wasn't hot though, which again wasn't a problem as it was so hot outside however it just managed to get luke warm. Also there's a sink in the shower shed, but no tap... so clean your teeth when you shower.

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked I only stayed for one night, it was a nice place. It was quiet which was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again. I woke up really early, made myself a coffee and listened to the birds for a while before setting off at 7am to go fishing.

Bell tent (six person, basic)

Liked The bell tents were new, clean and spacious. Good if you want a wild camping experience but i would not descrive it as glamping. The paddling pools were a good addition for a heatwave.

Disliked The toilets are porta loos, no handwashing in them.
Only 1 shower for the whole campsite, with no tap fitted ib the only sink.
No washing up facilities anywhere after cooking. We had to buy disposible plates and cutlery.
The farm shop was not stocked and had no food left to buy at the start of a bank holiday weekend.
The grass was not cut, too long for kids to ride bikes on.

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked Perfect! Back to basics camping with portaloos, a shower and drinking water, plenty of space to pitch in a lovely green space. Camp site had no traffic roaring past as you're in the countryside, lovely to hear the birds in the mornings and evenings too. Richard was friendly and welcoming and we would love to come back; thank you!

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked Spacious

Disliked * Grass looked like it’s only cut once a month — it was extremely long and difficult to walk through.

* The grass also smelled strongly of urine in several areas.

* Only two chemical portable toilets available for the whole site.

* Just one water tap and no waste disposal facilities. Water stopped working at 8pm with no prior notice.

* No reception on site.

* Farm shop was closed during the stay.

From the manager: Hello Janice the grass was long at the time as we cut it for animal feed and it was obviously cut very soon after your visit, with regard to the strong smell of urine in patches of grass not sure what caused that!!!!! ???could be campers? Only two portable toilets because of unprecedented bookings - but more toilets are in the fore of our intentions. Just one water tap has been fine for the whole site and last year no complaints. The waste disposal is in place - you could have asked us. Water stopped working? Not aware of this as this would impact on farm - this could only have been temporary as we did not observe this. No reception on site - this is a relatively small site so we do expect guests to knock on door where we have list of guests arriving and check them in. The shop is open now as the proprietor had broken foot, Richard recalls you arriving and says don’t bother with £12 a night stays, go somewhere more expensive. so sorry for your unfortunate booking but as you aren’t going to recommend or come again you wont be too bothered will you Janice?

Lots of space , the owners…

Very clean toilets.
Very polite and welcoming staff.
Super quiet and relaxing at night time and the glamping pods are huge and definitely ideal for families. We have been coming since last year and recommended it to everyone. We love it here.

Local attractions

When golf is your game, you’ll be pleased to know there are several courses within about 20 minutes’ drive of the site. For watching high-octane pursuits like motor-bike racing, you’ll have to catch the right day at Mallory Park Racing Circuit (10 minutes’ drive). Take a waterside stroll in Market Bosworth Country Park (10 minutes), or learn more about the notorious battle of 1485 on guided walking tours at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (also 10 minutes), where the kids can dress up as knights for the day and there are occasional weekend enactments of fiercely fought medieval battles. If you’d like to know more about the infamous King Richard III, whose remains were found in a Leicester car park, visit his royal tomb at the King Richard III Visitor Centre (40 minutes). Still in the city, you can clamber aboard rockets at the National Space Centre, and let off steam in East Street Lanes bowling alley (both make great choices for any rainy days with the offspring).
