The gentle lap of water against the shore greets you at this tranquil lakeside site, where swans glide past pitches that gaze directly onto the shimmering water. Nestled in the heart of Leicestershire's rural countryside, this is proper Midlands camping with a watery twist – a world away from the bustle yet surprisingly accessible in Central England.
Ideal for families seeking a peaceful retreat or couples wanting a romantic waterside escape, Bosworth offers a genuine back-to-nature experience with the reassurance of year-round opening. The location puts you within easy reach of Bosworth Battlefield and the historic market towns that dot this often-overlooked corner of the country, making it perfect for heritage enthusiasts and those exploring the region's quieter charms.
Facilities are refreshingly straightforward – clean toilets and showers serve tent, campervan and caravan pitches arranged around the lake. Campfires may be permitted, so check when you arrive. The vibe here is wonderfully unpretentious: just you, your pitch, and those captivating lake views that shift with every passing cloud.
