About the site
Situated along the River Soar, this riverside site is the perfect option for small or larger groups, with exclusive use of the site. Boat from Barrow upon Soar or Mountsorrel and enjoy stunning waterside views as you arrive at the campsite. Pitch up a tent on a non electric grass pitch and enjoy toasting marshmallows around the campfire, or impress your friends with your cooking skills on the double-width brick BBQ. The site is particularly suitable for canoe adventures and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. If glamping is more your thing, opt to stay in a two person pod. Equipped with a comfy double bed and mini fridge. The site is also ideally located to explore the rest of Leicestershire, with Loughborough just a 15 minute drive from the site.
