About Wigwam Holidays Charnwood Forest
This peaceful glampsite sits beside a small pond and is ringed by an attractive tree plantation. It's an ideal place to switch off and fully recharge in nature, yet a mere five minutes from the M1 or 20 minutes in the car from buzzing Leicester. Each of the six ensuite Wigwam pods has its own self-contained toilet and shower, along with a handy kitchenette area with all you need to make a light meal (sink, microwave, hob, fridge and kettle), and a table and chairs so that everyone can eat together as a family. Outside you'll find a fire pit where you can cosy up as the sun goes down. For an extra bit of luxury, why not book a pod with a hot tub, perfect for nights under the stars! A maximum of two dogs are welcome to join you in the pet friendly pod, just please ensure they remain on the lead. Campfires and BBQs are welcome in the provided fire pits, but must stay off the grass.
Wigwam Holidays Charnwood Forest is open from 01/04 to 30/11.
