we are going down to Donington race track in September , we will be in our tent, with 2 children, aged 11 and 15

we are looking for a non commercialised site in this area, I have looked on the campsite search but cannot find any, so pleeeese help if you know of a good campsite in this area, within 10-15 miles of Donington

Hi Little Owl,

I'm not sure if they definitely take tents but have a look at this link and maybe give them a call. It is about 10 minutes from Castle Donington. I live in the area but this is the only one I can think of at the moment. If I think of any more I'll post again.

Hope this helps and if you need any more info on the area give me a shout,

thanks for the replies, Beehive woodland valley park sounds about the best so far except for lack of toilets especially if site is busy,

may try measham house farm which is small site with good reviews

thanks Chanty, unfortunalely they only take tent if you go with a member of the club who is in a caravan! oh well you cant win them all

Hi

We went to the down load festival in june and stayed at a site called Kings mill camping and caravaning site, its in Donnington down a country lane and the owners where great, as the crow flies its less than a mile away but by road you go in a kind of square and its three miles, the campsite owners arranged a minibus to pick people up and take them if they didn't want to drive and it was £2.60 a head, a lot of people walked it but didn't fancy that myself, the owners couldn't do enough for you and where there from 8.00 am in the morning till gone 11 at night cleaning and organising, they put a bar on in the social room for the week end and did a bbq as well Id defiantly recommend it.  the owners live in a bungalow next door and there son lives on site.

I did do a review but it hasn't appeared yet, there was one shower that uses tokens but they also got 2 porto showers dilivered for the weekend but I didnt use them and 3 toilets in the ladys and a cubical with sink, it was a nice campsite with trees most of the way arround and very rural, its next to Donnington nurseries a garding centre.

Hope this helps
