 Just spent a long weekend at High Meadow Farm - what a super find! Adults only, site now has 40 pitches, 12 with gravel standing, and 24 hook-ups. The facilities are superb and spotless. At £15 a night it is well underpriced.
Located just outside the village of Barrow upon Soar it is very well situated for Charnwood Forest, Leicester, the Great Central Railway, Melton Mowbray and many other places to visit.
Barrow upon Soar village has several food outlets, from coffee shop to chinese take away. There are at least three pubs serving meals. There is a 30 minute bus service to Leicester and Loughborough.
Brilliant site - some small improvements possible - and we have booked to return in October for a longer visit.

High Meadow Farm is no longer a CCC Certified Site, now a commercial site and adults only, and consists of grass and hardstanding pitches, it's not quite level so blocks and chocks are required. The site is on a working livery farm, so there is coming and going all day, the owner is usually to be found at the bottom of the yard, washing down horses, or in her 'other' office.
The facilities block is new, and consists of pot wash room with washing machine and dryer, a disabled room and the usual ladies and gents, with open sinks, toilets and two very large wetroom type showers, the showers are token operated and each token gives 4 minutes of shower time, the tokens are £1 each, which may seem a little steep, but when you consider the nightly fee is a mere £15, it is still an inexpensive site.
High Meadow Farm is situated outside the village of Barrow upon Soar, where you will find a small co-op, several good pubs, (the Soar Bridge is lovely) and a lovely café with friendly staff.
There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall and Belton House, all NT properties, are within easy driving distance as is Bradgate Country Park, wherein lies the ruins of the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey and the folly known as Old John, a tower sitting on the highest point in the local area. The park has several pay and display car parks (though parking is not expensive) two cafes and a visitor centre. There are also several cafes outside the gates of the park, highly recommend the Jade Tearoom, friendly staff and delicious food, cooked to order.
If you are after a thrill, head for Prestwold Driving Centre on an event day, there are sports cars galore to drive as well as a rally course to test your nerve.

What a Fabulous site! We stayed on this site for 2 nights for a short break. Excellent welcome, we were shown a choice of pitches by a lovely gentlemen he also showed us where the facilities were and the elsan etc.
We pitched up and settled in to enjoy the fantastic views over the valley. Quiet site with very little traffic noise. Easy access to various locations towns/attractions etc. Highly recommended

Spent two nights here with family, what a site only 3 miles from home. There's a bit of road noise traffic seems to travel quite quickly along road, but the views over the fields are wonderful.
Only criticism dogs allowed on site but dog poo bins absent and a lack of recycling

Had two nights here recently and was thoroughly impressed. Lovely shower, toilet area with lovely large wet rooms and plenty of hot water, would be nice to have a mop and bucket available to clean up after your shower leaving it ready for the next person, if busy I can imagine that sometimes you'd be showering in someone else's soap suds !
We weren't disturbed by the road noise it certainly wasn't constant. Lovely walking area although we didn't venture very far as our dogs are old and poorly but appreciated the far reaching views and the lovely horses and donkey!
We were visiting family in the area so weren't too concerned about local attractions but I agree with the previous review that it would be a good addition to have access to some local knowledge. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely caravan site. Facilities very good and spotless. Road noise is present but apart from that ok.
I would suggest have a list of places to visit as no information on site on places to eat visit or markets. Reasonable prices.
