Campsites for hikers in Leicestershire

·

Leicestershire offers over 40 hiking-friendly campsites, each set up for walkers who want quick access to trails and woodland paths. Average nightly rates hover around £145, but you can find spots from as low as £25. For a place that blends woodland seclusion with warm showers and pet-friendly spaces, Fire and Stars Woodland Camping (28 reviews) stands out—expect clearings beneath broadleaf trees and firepit evenings. If you prefer open countryside near castle views, Belvoir Holidays (4 reviews) sits just below the Belvoir ridge, while Fox’s Furrow (3 reviews) offers a quieter pitch surrounded by wildlife. Facilities like toilets and showers are standard, and you’ll spot plenty of fellow travellers with dogs in tow. Hiking, wildlife-watching, and fishing round out the usual activities—boots muddy, pack light, and enjoy the green heart of the Midlands.
