  • Within five minutes' drive of the M1 and 10 minutes from the A50
Plop yourself down at Top Merrill Views if good views are one of your must-haves. With views over Charnwood Forest and sloping countryside where horses often graze in the distance, this site is lovely and scenic. Pitches are set a little way away from the main working farm, so dogs are welcome to join you on your rural break too. Where exactly is this place? It’s in the Leicestershire countryside, about 40 minutes’ drive away from any of you city-dwellers who are based in Leicester, Nottingham and the north of Birmingham. Beacon Hill Country Park and the National Trust’s Calke Abbey are both within 15 minutes’ drive of the farm. Plus, it's a handy midway spot for those doing some long-distance travels, as it's just a five-minute drive from the M1 Junction 24 and 10 minutes from the A50. This is the sort of spot where guests can easily get out to the local country pub – there’s a footpath right next to the site that will get you to the village of Belton in around 25 minutes. The village has a handy little shop as well as a pub serving all the usual staples. Your evenings at Top Merrill Views can be spent in merry spirits around a firepit or barbecue; they’re permitted, just as long as you rent a firepit from the site (log baskets are also available for an additional fee). The modern shower and toilet block is clean and well-maintained, covering the essentials, and the site has a friendly, laidback vibe that should help you to settle in in no time.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We loved our stay!

We were met by the hosts on arrival who where friendly and approachable, they showed us where all the facilities were and was provided with logs and a firepit following adding this on on pitchup and had an amazing stay. The campsite is on the riding school site which meant we where surrounded by horses which was a nice added touch. The bathroom/shower facilities where spot on, immaculately clean and really well presented. The hosts should very proud of what they have created. We where lucky enough to have the field to ourselves for a few hours and the dogs has an amazing time running around.. and finally the views when we woke up where amazing. We were in a roof tent so was elevated off the floor but it was beautiful.

Liked Warm welcome from the owners who are rightly proud of their new venture . Lovely setting on a working farm with great views. Good facilities, heated shower rooms with a rustic feel and plenty of hot water. Dog friendly with easy walks from the site. Good áccess from main travel routes North and South, great for overnight stays. We look forward to visiting again and seeing the site develop.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked I arrived at Top Merril Views to a wonderful warm welcome. Everybody i met was lovely and passionate about the new campsite. Work was still underway but already it is a delightful place to stay. Stunning views and a beautiful farm with many horses, added to the experience. Brand new facilities and everything you could need for a pleasant stay. I will definitely be booking again.

Local attractions

Always on the lookout for a good stroll? There are plenty of green spots to go to in this splendid patch of Leicestershire countryside. The nature trails at Beacon Hill Country Park (15 minutes’ drive) will probably please the kids; play areas and sculptures are scattered around for them to run to and investigate. Calke Abbey (15 minutes) is a particularly grand setting for a stroll, with 600 acres of countryside and gardens to its name. The country house has lots of points of interest, no matter whether you’re into plants, animals or history, including National Nature Reserves, a deer park, a walled garden, a 19th-century church and an old stable yard. Spotting the peacocks and fallow deer at Bradgate Park (35 minutes) can fill yet another adventurous afternoon. If you’d like to see a wider range of animals and critters, Twycross Zoo (20 minutes) is a wise choice; it has all four Great Apes, as well as penguins and elephants. Those who are into their motorsports are also well-based here. Donington Park Circuit (10 minutes) has a busy annual calendar with car and motorcycle events.
