Received a lovely warm welcome on arrival from Tim. Great location and good walks on the doorstep. Bus stop approx 20min walk which will take you to Leicester or Loughborough. Additional information what3words to the gate is soccer.crowd.bars

Christmas
Bradgate Caravan Site
We stayed here over the Christmas period for 3 nights
From Christmas Eve .The welcome we got was wonderful ,waiting for us at the gate with a cheery wave,we did call when we were 10mins away.We we’re greeted and shown the pitch and even given a lovely box of chocolates and Christmas card.The site is right
By Bradgate park ,some great walks .We we were visit g our daughter for Christmas ,but on Boxing Day we had a very enjoyable meal at the Badgers set vintage inn ,which is just a short walk with amazing views on the walk down along the reservoir.Overall this site is in a great little spot and we will be using it again.
Great little site
Bradgate Caravan Site
Great little site, opposite Bradgate park, which is a lovely park.
Nice welcome from the owner all facilities you need on a CL.
There is some road noise early week day mornings, but it didn't have a major impact (and we were on the winter pitch next the the road, I would imagine of one of the summer pitch it would hardly be noticable).
One of the reasons for our visit was to visit the National Space Centre, which is definately worth a visit. Taxi from the site was £15 so pretty reasonable.
Will definately be back at some point.
Our first cl site
Bradgate Caravan Site
We wanted a local caravan site to try out our newly renovated caravan and this one met our needs in every way. From the helpfulness and welcome of the owner to the beautiful surroundings and well maintained pitches this was a great introduction to caravanning. As mentioned by other reviewers, there is road noise but not a problem at night. We certainly appreciate landowners like Mr Jee making these cl sites available.
