The camping field
Rural views

A peaceful spot for soaking up the Leicestershire countryside, Dads Cave Camping sits on the edge of Desford village, right next door to Tropical Birdland and 25 minutes by car from Leicester. It has just a small number of spacious pitches in a field with calming rural views; you’ll have plenty of room to unwind, listen to the wildlife and simply enjoy being away from everyday cares. This back-to-basics pop-up is all about keeping things simple but comfortable for family stays. There are a couple of basic toilets, a washing-up sink and access to clean, fresh water for drinking and cooking. If you don’t fancy alfresco cuisine, there’s a quality café a few steps away from the field and a cosy pub within 10 minutes’ walk. Dads Cave Camping is surrounded by valleys and woodland crossed with walking routes. Dogs are welcome to share your camping adventure (and walkies), but to keep wildlife, livestock and other campers happy, always keep them on leads while on the pitches – and pick up after them too. The site has a strict leave-no-trace policy, so please respect the environment by minimising waste, sticking to designated paths, leaving natural features untouched and keeping noise levels low. You’re welcome to have a campfire, but raised off the ground so the grass doesn’t burn. When you leave, your pitch should look exactly as it did when you arrived: pristine and untouched.

Dette sier kundene

Rolig campingplass med romslige plasser, ideell for selvstendige bobilturister. Nær fuglepark og landsby med butikk/pub. Vennlig eier, god kommunikasjon, enkel innsjekking. Enkle, men rene fasiliteter. Avslappende sted, mange ønsker å komme tilbake.

Likte Just the most peaceful and relaxing stay.
Great site, very clean. Our group had an amazing time staying here. A wonderful breakfast 😋 was enjoyed by our group at the nearby cafe adjoining the fantastic Tropical Bird Garden. The bird centre proved to be a fascinating experience and is well worth a visit 🤩). The camp site is a 10 minute walk across the fields to the village pub and local Co-op.

Dad's Cave Camping will definitely become one of our regular weekend stopovers - a real hidden gem in tranquil countryside 😊

Likte Rolling countryside... huge pitches...shady footpath walk into Desford (takes about 10 mins) to a great dog friendly pub. Well stocked co-op next to the pub.
On site cafe at Tropical Bird World does a cracking breakfast! Great start to the day. Sounds like you are camping in the jungle when the birds start calling. Basic amenities but all clean and looked after. Friendly host. Bit of a hidden gem this one. Enjoyed it so much, we're going back next weekend!

Likte Peaceful location with good sized pitch’s they have ample space between them. There were lovely walks and a pub a short walk away.
There was good communication and easy check in. As you arrive and drive through the gate you are welcomed by alpacas and donkeys. If you fancy a visit tropical birdland is on the doorstep.
The owner has planted many trees and in time this place will be a gem.

Likte ikke Not so much a dislike but there was only one toilet for the camp site.

Likte We are actually very local to Dads Cave Camping, but we decided to book a stay so I could get a few jobs done on my van. It turned out to be the perfect little escape! My SEN son absolutely thrives when we go off-grid, and he loved the peaceful environment here. The biggest compliment I can give the site is that he has specifically asked to come back, telling me, 'this is the life!' The owner was also incredibly welcoming, making a point to come over, introduce himself, and have a friendly chat. A fantastic, back-to-basics spot we will definitely be returning!

Fra bestyreren: Morning Richard hope you got done what you needed to to the van lol. so glad you enjoyed your stay, you and your son are welcome back anytime.

Lokale attraksjoner

All the family will surely love communing with the cheeky parrots and exotic flamingoes at Tropical Birdland (direct access); there are also colourful tropical birds in walk-through aviaries. Another great family day out can be had at Twycross Zoo (25 minutes’ drive), with hundreds of animals and conservation-focused exhibits. You can combine a family hike with a history lesson on Desford Heritage Trail (five minutes’ walk) through local villages, and learn all about 1485’s Battle of Bosworth Field at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (15 minutes’ drive) on guided tours of the battle site. Thornton Reservoir (five minutes) in the National Forest lends itself to gentle lakeside strolls, wildlife spotting and fly fishing for trout at the fishery. There’s also a golf course – and crazy golf for younger visitors – about five minutes away by car, and if you fancy more high-octane days out, Mallory Park (10 minutes) hosts motor racing and track events.
