Does the thought of wild camping get you wildly excited and rearing to hit the road? Are you searching for a serene camping space within easy reach of the nearest towns? If you’ve answered yes to both of the above, pack your bags and rumble over to Conker Tree Farm, a splendid wild camping site located an ideal 5-minute drive from the water-based antics of Rutland Water. Campers are spoiled for choice as this spacious site enjoys a riverfront location amid rolling countryside yet enjoys proximity to the lively towns of Oakham and Uppingham, both located a mere 10-minute drive from the campsite. Urban adventurers needn’t fret as Conker Tree Farm affords access to buzzing Leicester, filled with places to eat and things to see and do. This is a no-frills back to base camping space, with none of the near-endless amenities offered at the more prominent, high-density campsites. The kids, in particular, will kick up a fuss when it’s time to say goodbye to the resident alpacas, ponies, sheep, turkeys, ducks and chickens. There is plenty of room for the nippers to whizz about and make friends with fellow campers. Roaming types need only don their walking shoes to explore traffic-free loops and routes around England’s smallest county. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s only a 10-minute drive to the nearest country pubs. Alternately, fire up the barbeque grill or huddle around the campfire, marshmallows in hand. Sorry, no pets allowed.
