 Stayed here during half term. £17.50 per night for 2 adults, 2 children, 2 dogs a tent,a utility tent and EHU! The site was busy but not full with plenty of other children for mine to play with. The pirate ship/ fort play area is away from camping bit so if with younger children they will need to be accompanied but this is fine as there is seating nearby. Also ensures not disturbed by older children playing later. There is a nice small crazy golf at £2 each. The lake is lovely to walk around and there are lots of fish to be seen.
The shop is basic but there is a local shop in Bosworth (5 mins by car) which sells most things and stores further afield.
The site is staffed by several young adults (surfer types!) who do a very good job at keeping it clean and tidy and were always very busy and friendly. Showers warm and free but were push button so a little difficult with children.
Lots to do and see around the area but could just chill at site or if interested hire canoe / kayak / rowboat and enjoy the lake.
Dogs loved lake which they were able to paddle and swim in!
Only real downside was washing up facilities (2 sinks) which could be busy. Otherwise brilliant site which we will be returning to soon

This campsite is great fun for the children, however, the toilet blocks are not sufficient for the amount of pitches and they're always filthy. They cleaned the toilets at 9am (when people wanted to use them) and they remained closed for half an hour. When they re-opened they had barely been cleaned, the floor was soaking wet and muddy (it was a sunny few days) as it looks like it's used a lot by people doing the water sports.
There are only 3 toilets, 2 urinals and 3 showers to cover all of the pitches.
It's quite noisy with children playing around the caravans, but if you have children that want to run around then this is for you.
This is not for a peaceful weekend away, but is good for an active family. The 'beach' is popular on a warm day, and Market Bosworth village is close by, which is absolutely gorgeous.
The entrance fee is very disappointing, I feel they should refund that when you check as it should just be for the many day trippers, but I was told we have to pay that as well. For £10 deposit you can get a card to let yourself in during your stay, but just be prepared with £3 in change when you first get there.

Lovely site. Visited for the weekend with friends and family. My young children had a great time on the play area and sand area by the lake. There was also plenty of room for them to run around. This is a great site for dogs - most were kept on a lead and not left to wander. There were a couple of units that were noisy into the wee hours over the two nights that we were there but that did not pose a problem for us personally.
The toilet / shower block was cleaned every day however they were very often wet and muddy as there aren't really enough for the number of units.Pitches are spacious.
The site on the whole is friendly, has a good atmosphere, and is generally clean and well maintained. There are drainage ditches around the park that could be hazardous for children - one member of our party did get somewhat stuck while trying to retrieve a ball.
Only a short drive to Market Bosworth where there are a number of shops / takeaways etc

Just had three nights at the site with my wife and teenage daughter.
Please bear in mind that the ground was saturated from previous weeks' snow!
Site obviously very soft, but approach road to site no problem. Once past the site office, the road condition was terrible. Road surface very poor and potholes everywhere! Temporary 'fill' had obviously been attempted but of no use! Site was a quagmire, but as expected so no complaints there.
Note in previous reviews the comments about the barrier. It is a bit of a con as they do not refund it and it adds £2 on top of your spending before you even set foot in the place!
As we arrived after office hours, we had to leave the site for supplies and re enter. I contacted the warden and he said that he would refund our re entry £2. This he did which was appreciated.
Nearby Market Bosworth is beautiful, the butcher, baker & grocers all recommended. (Butcher opens at 0730!) Very friendly in the village.
Back on site, the cafe does not open until 1030. At the weekend, lot of disappointed and disgruntled people circling the building! Prices a bit steep but adequate.
Site itself is well planned out and the lakes are lovely. Obviously well used even this time of year. Anglers, model boats, dinghys, etc. Plenty of cyclists, dog walkers as well.
Excellent for dog walking I might add.
Couple of whinges: Toilets were small and basic.
Only three showers in each, one of the womens was 'out of order'. Shower cubicles very small!
No circulation, so building steamed up very quickly. Toilets were messy with all the mud around and were cleaned daily. Hosed down but left to drip dry!
I would recommend the site location though and Market Bosworth itself.

We towed our beloved caravan on a 6 hour round trip to get here- looked promising online, and on the brochure the site sent out after we had booked.
We had purposely set out to find a site that could accommodate us on a hardstanding pitch, being February and all, and having two children and a spaniel, so Bosworth fitted the bill after the lady taking the booking assured us they would assign us to pitch 3.
On arrival, we were told it was taken, and to pitch anywhere, however the caravan area was a sodden bog. Not even our workhorse of a 4x4 would assist in backing the caravan onto anything at all that constituted a pleasant pitch.
Eventually picked a bit of grass that was only ankle deep in mud- found it hard to believe that the owners hadn't appeared to have bothered to address the mud problem with shale/sand/anything during half term
No heating in the shower block! Had also asked whether the bar/ bisto would be open during our stay - we were told it would be, but there was no sign of life in the time we were there whatsoever.
Decided to leave the very next morning, cutting our trip short

Had a lovely weekend in the main last weekend. Play area, pitch and access to the water was brilliant and we all had a super time.
Disappointing bits were that the toilet block seemed to always be dirty and was quite limited in the evening when the second loo block wasn't open. No-one seemed to keep an eye on what was going on - on both Friday and Saturday people playing loud music and having a party until well after midnight. Think it as little cheeky that those staying on the site have to pay for entrance onto park - no warning when phoned up to book. We had two cars as had brought canoe trailer so cost us £6.00 just to get in - next time we will know to park at gate but not much space to pull over with a caravan or trailer without blocking.
All in all will be back again as setting and facilities were great.

Fully recommend this site we stayed 3 nights.
Toilets and showers cleaned every day.
Our son loved the play area which was a pirate ship and fort.
Local shop not far at all and agree lovely fish and chip shop in Market bosworth.
Only 20 minute drive from Drayton manor which we took our thomas mad son to and Twycross Zoo not far.
Would definitely go back to this site.

Excellent! Everything a campsite should be!
After visiting here with our kayaks on a day trip, we returned for a weekend after seeing they had camping facilities.
Kayaks can be hired, wind surfing lessons are available also. If you use your own canoes/kayaks it is half price to launch them if you are camping (about £8)
It was peak season but the campsite was still relatively uncrowded. We were shown the camping field and told we could camp anywhere. EHU is available, although we never had it on this occasion. I asked how much room we could use and were told space was unlimited - brilliant!
The camping fields are right next to the lake edge, although there are only about 10 pitches directly by the lake. The rest of the field consisted of jutting out hedges and secluded places so we entombed ourselves within the bushes
2 showers and 3 toilets in the toilet block. Cleaned around 11am so were fine for the rest of the day, although did get a bit messy first thing in the morning (get the cleaners out of bed earlier!)
Childrens facilities include a large adventure playground with a pirate ship and climbing frames.
Also a large harnessed trampoline area is available for the kids during the day. There is probably a charge for this but I never asked the cost
There was always room for the kids to play ball around the tents (although after they had fired their tennis ball 3 times over the windbreak and into our saucepan, I'm not sure this is a recommendation)
There is a sandy 'beach' right by the lake edge for the kids as well. Part of the lake is also sectioned off here for the kids to paddle
Perfect for dogs! They have access all around the lake and loved it! We did keep away from the fisherman though, as had visions of labradors with sweetcorn and maggots hanging off their heads
Bistro/bar onsite which is small and quite personal rather than a nightmare Haven chalkie the clown set up (sorry to Haven lovers) Food is only available up to about 8pm though, sometimes they have bbqs in the summer as well
There is also a small reception area that sells milk and eggs, disposable bbq's but wouldn't use this as a source of shopping as what they have is limited - ok for emergency rations
You also need to pay a £10 returnable deposit for the car park barrier pass
Market Bosworth is about 2 miles away where there are small shops, chip shop etc. Nearest large supermarket we found was Morrisons about 7 miles away
Perfect walking round the lake at 9pm watching the sunset
Love it here, and shall be returning in 2 days time! woo hoo!

Visited Bosworth Water Trust for my first ever camping trip back in July. Now I compare all campsites to Bosworth as I loved it so much!
It's a great site for everyone, there is a restaurant on site and a shop which is well stocked.
For children there is a playground with pirates ship and crazy golf as well as all the water sports Bosworth offers.
The lake is great for all the activities as well as fishing and my dogs loved it as they were able to swim (now one of my criteria for chosing a campsite). There is seating dotted around the lake.
I stayed over a weekend and it was busy but fine, the toilets were cleaned at regular times but did get messy with paper towels on the floor. I don't know why people can't clear up behind themselves really so that was the campers not the cleaners fault.
Nearby there is a Morrisons and you can get lovely fish and chips in Bosworth itself.
I also visited Sutton Cheney Wharf which is nearby, there is a nice dog walk along the wharf and though a small wood.
There isn't a downside for me with Bosworth, I loved it and have booked up to go back soon!

Stayed here for only 4 days, but the kids had great fun in between the incessant showers. Don't agree with the lack of sleep due to noisy campers, found everyone to be asleep or at least quiet after about 11pm. Showers were perhaps a little messy, but that was just the floors, which is to be expected when people traipse sand from the beach into the shower-units, it wasn't unhygenic or anything.
Didn't test the bar, so can't comment on that, but Market Bosworth is a lovely little town/village with a magnificent park attached as well, and any type of restaurant/take-away catered for (pizza/chinese/indian/chipshop). Although the campsite hasn't got a shop for provisions the town is only a 3-min drive away which has a late shop/ off-license that has everything you're likely to need.
About the entrance-barrier; after reading some of the previous comments before going, I had decided to park my car before the barrier, walk to reception to register and get my barrier-card to avoid the £3 it takes to enter the site (meant for the many day-trippers). I then just walked back to my car and used the card to go through, easy!
All in all a positive experience, just a shame the weather let us down this summer.
