 Arrived and greeted at reception. I was able to use my debit card meaning I had cash to use if necessary. We were told that we were able to pitch our tent anywhere other than restricted areas. The site was busy although we were able to find a suitable area. We were unable to get an electrical hook up as there were limited hook ups. I paid £42 for 3 nights which I believe is good value.
The new toilet area was the only one that I used so I can't comment on the older facilities. The toilets were always hot (at times too hot) as the temperature was set to 81 degrees. I had to queue for showers and toilets at times although considering the amount of people it wasn't a surprise. They were clean but as other reviewers mentioned they could have been cleaned on a more regular basis.
There were plenty of families playing around the site which was nice to see although there were groups that had been drinking and became annoying as they were kicking balls into other peoples tents. At night time some pitches were rowdy and a group near to us had a argument which went on into the night. One group were spoken to by a man on our first night, I'm not sure if he worked there or was camping.
The washing up area was outside and well maintained. It became a little windy and cold but it wasn't really an issue.
The rubbish area was overflowing and bin bags were there for a couple of days at least. You could smell them so I'm glad we pitched away from this area.
There was a lake which you were able to walk around which was nice. We didn't make it into the woods as it rained for most of the time we were there and the ground was too muddy to walk across.
The red lion was signposted near to the site but we never ventured to it.
I think the site would be better visited during less busy times purely due to the number of people there. It was a lovely setting with a well maintained pitch area.

We spent two nights here in cold, wet mid May because I was working at an Alfa Romeo event at Boughton House and there don't seem to be a lot of nice sites nearby.
This one is excellent though. So quiet. Lovely clean new loo block. Well organised flat pitches. A lake to stroll around.
A lovely 'get-away-from-it-all site in the middle of England. Given the opportunity we'll be back.

We only booked a week before for a bank holiday weekend, so not sure what to expect but a lovely site. Much bigger than we had expected and very well kept. We couldn't get electric so had choice to pitch where we wanted. Lovely views of the lake in the lower field, and could also choose to pitch in upper field. Plenty of space, and would be good for camping with friends as easy to group units together as you please. Lovely clean new toilet and shower block. Sometimes had to wait as lots of campervans on the site without their own facilities, but would imagine on a normal weekend there wouldn't be a problem. Plenty of washing up facilities with lighting and cover for all weathers. Gliding club next door, so we all enjoyed watching Gliders going up throughout the weekend. Fishing for those who are interested. Short walk to village with small pub, but not much else. On site shop sells a few essentials, but need to make sure you have what you need if you don't want to venture out far. Will definitely return again.

Such a shame. This was one of our favourite places to visit in the past, it used to have about 10 touring pitches with electric and pitches for campers. It used to be very dog friendly with the owners dogs visiting for a play. What made this place nice was the relaxed manner in which it was run. Not any more. It is more like a cornwall site now, vans and tents rammed together, more rules than the health and safety executive handbook, a unfriendly manager who clearly has forgotten the meaning of the word fun and relaxation. I recommended this site to many people - not anymore, it is just not nice now.

We have just returned from a three night stay at Brook Meadow and may I say what a delightful site.
We stayed in the first field which was level, well mown, very clean and peaceful.
Went primarily for the fishing but didn't fish too much as it was just nice to sit by the caravan and take in the peace and quiet.
The newly built shower block was immaculately clean however, as mentioned in previous reviews the push button system didn't really do it for me and the set temperature wasn't quite as hot as I'd like though I assume this is due to health and safety to stop people burning themselves.
The fishing lake is very well stocked with a good head of double figure carp cruising on the surface.
Great walks for the dog around the site either on the track round the lake or further down the track alongside the lake.
Not much for youngsters to do if they aren't into fishing or watching the gliders.
All in all an extremely well kept site though and we will definitely be returning soon.

Stayed just the one night to try out the caravan we had picked up earlier in the day. We have camped here previously, but not been for the last couple of years. Have to say we were very pleased with the way the site has been upgraded and the facilities are now wonderful. The shower blocks are kept immaculate.
The sun setting over the lake was stunning.
A useful addition would be some play facilities for children.
We will be returning soon, this site is a little gem in the heart of south Leicestershire.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Highly recommend this peaceful, well equipped site !
We were very politely received on arrival and the lady was very informative with regards to the site and surrounding areas.
The site is off a quiet main road and is very secure. There is a small fishing lake with lovely, long pine woodland walks over looking the site. Great for off-lead dog walks (very sludgy though in February as an off road quad group also use the woods) We had our wellies so were fine.
The hard standing pitches are very well spaced with EHU overlooking the lake and great value for money. £17. 50 per night for our little campervan.
Also on site were some log cabin style chalets and a fantastic 'rainy day' cabin equipped with dining table and chairs (with a lovely view of the lake and woods), showers, microwave, washing machine, ironing board, fridge, washing up facilities and all included. Such a great idea if the weather is bad and the caravan/tent/campervan is becoming a little claustrophobic.
Loved this site and cannot recommend it enough. The only down side was the 1/4 walk to the local pub for our Sunday dinner to be rudely told that our small dog wouldn't be admitted anywhere on the premises.

Just returned from this site staying the last weekend of August 2013 in our tent, no EHU. Arrived at the site early Friday PM and paid £28 for the two night for two adults and two kids. Very reasonable I thought.
Stayed facing the new toilet / shower block about 100yards away. The block is new and a 1st class job has been done with it. Three showers, very spacious and they are the wet room type showers.
The lady who was at the reception was very friendly. Fires are allowed and you can hire fire baskets for a £5 per night I think which is a great idea. The shop also has some supplies but we had all that we needed.
The river / lake is behind the toilet block and it is very picturesque. A few anglers camp by there for good reason but anybody can camp there.
The very large field was well maintained and some small trees have been planted at various points which will in time provide some further shelter.
The site is very close to the local Sibbertoft glider club. You see many gliders coming in to land over the site which is good for the kids to see and adults alike.
We took a day to go to Foxton Locks which is a few miles away. Worth a trip and there are a couple of canals that meet and a hill of locks with narrow boats slowly making their way up and down.
We stayed here to meet friends that live down that way so it was a bit of a trip but well worth it. Would recommend.
A dedicated play are would be nice but I'm sure the owners have spent a lot on the site and maybe this will be done in the future.

This is a very nice site with plenty of room between units and lots of space for the kids to play cricket/football. No playground, but one isn’t necessary. The site is secured by a barrier and you are given a code by the site manager upon arrival.
We visited for the weekend during the History Live at Kelmarsh Hall and the site was very full - because it’s so convenient for the festival probably! We were in the bottom field, not the main field and so we weren’t disturbed by noise at all.
A new toilet and shower block was opened the afternoon we arrived and a good job too, otherwise the old facilities would have been totally inadequate. As it was, the new block was still very busy due to the volume of visitors and we had to queue a couple of times for toilets and showers. Also, the floor became very muddy and could have been cleaned an extra once each day.
The new facilities seem not to have been as thoroughly thought out as you might think - the four toilets take up loads of space - they could have got another two in there! However, my one real criticism was the showers - there were only three, they had a fixed shower head which couldn't be reached, let alone moved and the angle of the water just missed you and sprayed the back of the door where your towel and clothes were hanging, thereby drenching them! Very frustrating!
Unfortunately, there were no freezers for putting your picnic freezer blocks in, but the manager very kindly allowed us to borrow the ice cream freezer in the shop on site!
Despite the showers, this is a very nice site and we will probably be back there again next year.

Quite impressed with the site overall. The plus points are plenty of space, fishing is excellent, nice to have a new shower block, security barrier. It is an ideal site if you have large groups and you want to join up tents etc. Plenty of space for kids to run about. Owners are very accommodating. No set time for departure so can stay as long as you need on the last day. We stayed til 6pm so felt like we'd had an extra day. Very refreshing when most sites want you gone by 10 or 11. The negative points are that as someone has already mentioned it is quite an exposed site and you are fairly high up (hence the airfield nearby - not noisy, mostly gliders and the police helicopter which is based there). We lost 2 gazebos, our fault for not taking them down when the wind got up.
The shower block is nice but perhaps could have been better designed. For the mens side there are just 2 toilet cubicles and 2 sinks for the whole site (and use by fishing day tickets and syndicate). For the amount of space inside the building this seems strange but have to say never had to wait for a shower. The showers are ok but are the type that have fixed shower heads that cannot be moved and one temperature. They are also on a push button that goes off after 30 seconds or so - inevitably when you have shampoo in your eyes of course and can't see where to press!They appear to have a problem with the drains for the showers. It is essential a wet room so you have a long drain running under all the shower cubicles but the fall of the floor doesn't seem enough so there is permanently a huge puddle of everyone elses shower water. They also have one of those really noisy fancy hand dryers which I'm sure are good for the environment but not good if you have a tent nearby. These are just niggles though and it is nice to have brand new facilities. There was a warden staying in a caravan next to the shower block when we stayed.
Reception sells a few things but not much so Market Harborough is 10 -15 minutes away. The camping pitches in the main camping field aren't quite level but not sloping enough to be a problem. Overall I would recommend this site and would definitely go again in the future.
