Disappointing.
On the plus side, the campsite is next to Thornton reservoir which has a good two and a half mile circular walk or bike ride. However, pitches 2 to 5 are extremely cramped together, although pitch 1 is by itself. It doesn't feel like you've arrived at a campsite though,... Show more

Lovely little site
Stayed here for 2nights. Owner was helpful and accommodating. A very tight turn to get into but the first pitch has great views over the reservoir. Very peaceful and relaxing with a nice little coffee shop at the nurseries too.would definitely recommend

Good area
Stayed here for two nights. As a plus the site is ideally located for cycling and walking. We cycled into Leicester along National Cycle Route 63 then along to Watermead Country Park along the completely off road cycle trail. At £15 a night the price of this site is... Show more

Super site and super location
This is a lovely CL in some stunning countryside not that far from the City of Leicester. We stayed whilst attending a wedding in nearby Swithland. The CL is within a family run nursery. On arrival we were met by one of the family who took me into the shop... Show more

Small secluded gem
This site is a hidden gem , it is right in the middle of some of the most beautiful walking and cycling country, it’s not a large site , but a cosy one, Great for people who like to talk to their fellow neighbours. I can’t understand people who... Show more

Helpful site owner but badly laid out site.
If you have a small out fit (base camp or camper van) this site is worth looking at this site. If you have a caravan without motor movers don’t even think about it. The pitches are very close together I’m surprised it passed fire regulations. The access is a nightmare.... Show more

Ideal location for the Reservoir but otherwise a bit disappointing!
Arrival was marred by parked cars for the nursery (in their car park) which added to already difficult access ( as the way we came from meant negotiating a hair pin bend). The nursery and site owner although polite gave us no direction to the site or its facilities, we... Show more

A really poor site
We visited this site when calling on friends nearby. I really dont understand the positive reviews. We were treated offhand at reception and not given any information just told the site was down the bottom. This turned out to be a narrow track with poor access to an overgrown lumpy site....

Well positioned discrete Cl site
Well positioned site , opposite Thornton reservoir, offering good local walks. The site is compact and secluded , although close to the road it is well concealed and very private.
