What customers say
Peaceful, back-to-basics site with beautiful views. Guests loved the clean restrooms, fire pits, and bell tent amenities. Friendly owners. Ideal for short stays, though showers would be nice for longer visits. A great outdoor experience.

Would stay again and would recommend!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful setting. Felt safe. Liked the picnic area with hay bales. Plenty of room for our little one to run around. Bonus that at the end of August we were the only ones at the site! Toilets clean and pleasant. You get both a beautiful sunrise and a sunset from the site!
Disliked Many many aeroplanes flying overhead which keeps a light sleeper up. The walk to Queniborough is along a main road and therefore isn’t easy with a child.

Liked Really nice little spot, good fire pit and clean toilets. They had soap, wipes and big bins so we dint have to take our rubbish home.
Disliked Nothing really.

Great, quiet getaway
Bell tent
Liked Lovely setting for the bell tent. Friendly owners who went above and beyond to help when we realised we'd forgotten our firewood so the kids still got to toast marshmallows.
Bell tent itself was fab, comfy and nice addition of a few boardgames. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. We went to the space centre which was super easy to get to and the kids (4 and 8) loved.
Disliked If we were going to stay longer than a couple of nights I'd want a shower but it was perfect for us for a short stay

Lovely little family run campsite, only 5 pitches on the field.
Bell tent
Liked Beautiful, peaceful little site in the heart of Leicestershires country side. We stayed in the bell tent with our 3 children and my mother in law stayed in a tent pitched next to us! This site is so quiet and peaceful it's all about being outdoors! 5/6 pitches on the site itself so a lovely little site to go! We had the entire site to ourselves for the weekend it was bliss! The lady who owns the campsite is very welcoming and helpful. We will be coming back.
Disliked Only one toilet.
