Brook Meadow at The Wrongs Farm

People seem to fall in love with Brook Meadow. And there's no need to take our word for it – just check out it's five star reviews. It does feel like a special place to camp. Perhaps it’s the sunsets over the lake? The cattle grazing peacefully in the neighbouring fields? The hundreds of stars clearly visible on a cloud-free night? Or perhaps it’s the philosophy of farmers Jasper and Mary who want people to come and enjoy their land. This even extends to providing free camping for groups of young people hiking and camping towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards.

It’s a peaceful, secluded site with 50 pitches and a handful of glamping options spread over 15 acres and around a five-acre fishing lake. Ducks waddle around and you might catch a glimpse of the resident wildlife – deer, hares, red kites – or hear owls hooting in the night. It feels (and is) very spacious. Some of the best pitches are around the fishing lake on the lower of the two fields (shared with three holiday chalets), although families with kids tend to opt for the top field for The Mound, which kids love to scramble on. The lakeside Nuthatch Cabin and the Out of Africa-themed bell tent are the romantic options. Both offer picturesque views of the lake and have plenty of their own space; suitable for couples or families of up to four.

You can get a taste of farm life by helping Mary collect eggs from the site's resident chickens or join in with an occasionally-available farm tour (just register your interest at reception). Off site, there are a couple of high-adrenaline neighbours: Avalanche Adventures next door, where you can hire quad bikes or try your hand at clay pigeon shooting and other outdoor activities; and the Gliding Centre at Husbands Bosworth Airfield just down the road, where you can get a birds-eye view of the site as you drift by overhead. After all the excitement, the peace and quiet of site is the perfect place to relax. Sit around the campfire and enjoy a BBQ dinner or take your camping chairs to the semi-outdoor cinema in the open-sided barn where family favourites are screened.
