 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.

We have been here a few times before and had a lovely stay although the lack of showers with so many campers was a problem. So we thought we'd give it another go now the new shower block was open. The shower block is lovely, clean, quite large and airy. I was disappointed with the water pressure of the showers it was nearly impossible to wash my hair and took a very long time to rinse the shampoo out. It seems a shame that they have spent so much money on the building and not got the showers right. The old showers are still there they could do with some new soap dispensers.
The biggest attraction to the site for us has to be the friendliness of the site. The children play happily and are safe. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Plenty of water taps. There are couple of dips in the field but generally flat and easy to pitch. The children enjoyed watching the gliders. The fishing lake was a bit of a let down as the area we could fish in being non-members was very shallow.
All in all though I would recommend the site great value for money but if you need to wash your hair use the older showers :)

This was our first ever camping experience therefore aside from reading the reviews really did not know what to expect. We (my daughter aged 5 and three adults) selected Brook Meadow due to facilities, security of site and lake and it was brilliant. The site is very easy to find. The cheerful owners meet you on arrival at the welcoming reception and are very friendly. The site is accessed through via security barrier required an operating code from reception. The site itself is very clean, well maintained and breath taking. The site has a stunning lake with beautiful views. Caravans and tents have plenty of space to camp. There are chalets on site also for those who do not wish to camp. The facilities exceeded expectations, tumble dryer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, hygienic, clean, brand new shower block and toilets, spacious, hot water and microwave. Our first experience was so good we have booked to come back again next month! I would certainly recommend this site.

We stayed at this site earlier in the year, so this is just an update. Our impression of the site still remains very favourable.
Although their web site still states that the new facilities block is 'due for completion Spring 2013', it was open on this visit, and is very impressive, and kept very clean.
Our last visit was before Spring had sprung, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much prettier it looks in summer, when surrounding trees and hedges have foliage.
Whilst there are more sheltered corners, if you don't manage to get one, my previous comments about it being an exposed site still stand, I plan to stay here again, but would think twice about it if strong winds were forecast. There is immature planting around the site, and when this grows it will provide an welcome improvement.
Despite being lakeside, the site drains well - met office 'amber' warnings for rain in force, and boy did we get it, but we had no flooding problems.

Lovely campsite, very peaceful and spacious with friendly staff. We stayed here for the History Live festival at Kelmarsh Hall for preceding two nights and camped by the trees by the lake in the heat wave. Very quiet, although it got busier over the weekend for the festival. Idyllic for the children who loved exploring the wooded areas and watching the dragonflies, fish and ducks on the lake. Lovely flat grass to pitch on too. The new toilet and shower block opened during our stay, but when not busy the old block was adequate and very clean. Great to find a kettle available to use and amazed by sight of iron and ironing board available for campers!
Lovely farming area and visited Kelmarsh Hall gardens, Coton Manor Gardens and the site of the Battle of Naseby nearby. Would love to stay here again next year.

Very attractive site alongside fishing lake. Quiet location away from main roads. Run by very pleasant people. Good facilities block with 2 bathrooms, 2 separate loos, fridge, kettle, washer, dryer and ironing board. Free showers are good. During my stay the owners rushed to open the new shower block which is very nice, although hopefully shower curtains and hooks for clothes are on the way. The site is not handy for shops. Market Harborough is about 6 miles away. I stayed at the site to attend History Live at Kelmarsh Hall. So did lots of other people and the site was heaving and very noisy into the early hours, so best avoided for that particular weekend if you like peace and quiet. I would happily go there again but at a different time. There is a glider club a couple of fields away and you can watch the gliders being towed up over the site. Market Harborough is a pleasant market town with an interesting church. Foxton Locks is lovely and not far from MH. The meal I had at the pub there was nothing very special. Coventry is worth a visit. The cathedral is stunning and has a museum about the Coventry blitz. There are 2 excellent free museums. The transport museum is not to be missed, and has a floor devoted to Coventry's car industry.

Picturesque & quiet site Monday to Friday but the weekends can get very rowdy as mixed teenage groups are allowed and the wardens are not actually on site, they live on the other side of the farm but will come down and do there best to sort out the offenders if asked.
The new shower / toilet block was just about to be opened as we left so the queue issues mentioned by others shouldn't be a problem any more.
Nice lake stocked with carp and tench along with ducks and geese for the kids.
We would go again for a mid-week stay but we'd try to avoid pitches 1 to 5 as these are close to the new shower block / septic tank / elsan disposal point / bins and water stand pipe.

This site is very local to us, but this was our first time visiting. We were made very welcome at reception and given some guidance on where to pitch (we had asked for a sheltered spot as we knew we were in for some stronger winds the next day. We pitched in a great spot behind some trees over looking the lake, and even in the strong winds were nice and sheltered.
The site is very well kept, and once the facilities block is finished it will be even better! There were signs up saying these hope to be open soon (still being finished). The facilities that was there was adequate for our stay, the site was not over busy, a couple of shower rooms and toilets. The use if a microwave and fridge if needed, and washing facilities.
There is a nice little walk around the site lake, and we also had a nice couple of hours visiting Foxton Locks, about a 10 minute drive from the site.
Overall very impressed, and we shall be back.

We stayed here for three nights end of may bank holiday. We had a good welcome on arrival and was given a nice pitch by the lake. This is a secure site nice and safe. The shower block was a bit small for the amount of people but a new one is being built but its been held up by the bad weather. Local pubs are good and market harbourgh is only 12 miles away so had a good day there. Good fishing lake. Will be staying again.

We enjoyed our stay here, management was very friendly and helpful. Very busy bank holiday weekend, so existing showers/toilets inadequate BUT new ones are nearly finished and the existing ones were clean and lovely to use the only problem was there were only 2 bathrooms with showers and toilet in 1 room and 2 extra toilets with hand basins so a quick trip to use toilets only, at busy times was difficult. I did like the idea of unisex proper bathrooms where you could have a comfortable hot free shower. Lots of sockets to recharge phones etc (seems like teenage girls have to do this several times a day!) Unsecured wireless access from toilet block. When the site was less busy during the week it was great.
On Saturday night we had a problem with a very loud group of people socialising till 3.30 in the morning - the warden went out to them at least twice but no result. They were asked to leave the following morning. There will always be people like this no campsite is immune but the fact that there was a warden there all weekend must discourage the majority of noisy people.
Roughish but nice pub ( The Wharf) at welford has a lovely varied menu both lunch and dinner and allows dogs in the bar. ( lovely prawn and haddock risotto)There are a number of good walks from here.
Very limited local shops- PO in Husbands Bosworth and also welford, nearest proper shop is Market H'br. (No tourist information)
Would visit this site again

Nice calm site, in a beautiful rural environment. Good maintained facilities. The new shower block wasn't finished yet when I visited but the old one was more than enough for the amount of people on the site when I was there.
I really enjoyed my stay here, the only bit of annoyance that I experienced was the farm dogs strolling the terrain. Since strange dogs have to be kept always on the lead I did expect that they would keep their dogs away too. They didn't what evolved in regular visit of the farm dogs and much pee on our tyres.
