  • Small well-maintained site in the scenic Leicestershire countryside
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of Eye Brook Reservoir and Rutland Water
  • Dog-friendly site two miles from the nearest pub
Make yourself comfortable and soak up rural views over Leistershire's Welland Valley at Hidden Hideaway, a small-scale site two miles from the village of Hallaton. Hidden away (as the name suggests) in a spacious and sheltered camping field, these pitches are well-placed for idle or active breaks in Central England's pretty countryside. Staying here puts a good number of footpaths within easy reach, with a few rights of way directly accessible from the site. The pride and joy of Hidden Hideaway has to be the site's very well-maintained toilet and shower block (see the photos for a more detailed inspection). Other handy amenities are available here, including a nifty chemical disposal and grey water point. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome on site, but please make sure that they're on a lead at all times when out and about and kept outside of the facilities block. Hallaton's village pub (which is also dog-friendly) is a couple of miles away if you're on the hunt for relaxed drinks or a meal out, while for a supermarket shop you're best off heading to the several options available in Market Harborough (20 minutes' drive).

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Stunning views, very clean facilities, a little piece of Heaven on Earth.
Large pitches.
Great host, always happy to help.

Disliked: The pitches near the field have a slight angle and are not flat.
Can be windy, but this is Mother Nature and nothing the host can do about it.

Hare 2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Luxurious safari tent with everything you could possibly need. Hidden setting as the name suggests. Comfy enough for the grandparents and plenty of the space for the grandkids to play, which they did the entire time.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: All of it. Great walk from the site, peaceful, lovely owner and family that couldn't do enough for us; they even brought Halloween marshmallows and sticks over to us so our two kids could toast them over the open fire.

Disliked: Entrance road was rough

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review it is very much appreciated that guests take the time to write these as they do help us improve for future guests. We are sorry that you found the entrance drive rough unfortunately it is at the minute and there is nothing we can do at this time of year. We have the drive levelled every year before the start of the season so that it is not rough for our guests but after a full season and the unprecedented amount of rain we have had in the last couple of weeks the driveway has unfortunately become bumpy. this will be sorted again before we open again for next season and hope it hast put you of visiting us again.

Wonderful site in the beautiful English countryside.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: What a fantastic find! An idyllic and well resourced campsite set in beautiful English countryside. Ellie was kind enough to tell us of 4 different walks to nearby villages and pubs. The campsite is small and discrete but had fantastic facilities- fridges, hot showers, toilets supplied with toilet rolls.we stayed in the safari tent, which was charming, comfortable and well resourced.

Disliked: There is nothing about this site to dislike.

Local attractions

It's water, water everywhere at Hidden Hideaway – there's trout fishing and walking at Eye Brook Reservoir (20 minutes' drive), historic towpaths and waterside pubs at Foxton Locks (15 minutes), a big lake, birdwatching and waterpark at Rutland Water (20 minutes) and, for some indoor exercise, a public swimming pool in nearby Market Harborough (20 minutes). For a mix of meals out, bargain hunting and smart independent shops, head to nearby market towns like Market Harborough, Uppingham (20 minutes) or Oakham (30 minutes), where you can also take the kids for animal-themed jaunts at Rutland Farm Park. The very special town of Stamford (35 minutes) over in Lincolnshire also warrants a day trip or two, especially if you're a fan of Georgian architecture. If you're on holiday with the kids, they'll likely appreciate visits to the National Space Centre in Leicester (45 minutes), Twycross Zoo (an hour and 10 minutes) or Drayton Manor Theme Park (an hour and 10 minutes). And for something more serene and sedate? The graceful gardens around Burghley House (45 minutes) and Belton House (an hour) will take care of that.
