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.
Facilities are ensuite and self contained within the glamping pods. There's no WiFi but the site does get good 4G signal. There are also electric vehicle chargers on the site.
The Fieldhead Pub is an easy 15 minute walk from site and is great for dinner. A five minute drive away are a couple of local food shops in Markfield.

This was the perfect weekend, the hosts were so helpful and welcoming. The pod was beautiful and spotless and the site was so peaceful. The pods are so well spaced you barely notice anyone else on the field. I had a log burner hot tub which was wonderful, it was so easy to get going. Sitting in it and looking up through the trees in the evening, is there a better way to unwind?

Things to do on site and in the Markfield area
Bradgate Park (15 minutes) offers more than 800 acres of beautiful parkland - with resident deer - close by and there's lots to tempt history buffs too. The site owners' own cottage was part of the Bradgate Estate and the estate was the birthplace of Lady Jane Grey - famously on the throne for just nine short days.
Leicester (20 minutes) is ideal for a day out, with lots of history and a fascinating royal connection - find out all about it at the King Richard III Visitor Centre. Maybe visit Abbey Park adjacent to the City Centre, relax on the green space or hire a rowing or pedalo boat and explore the boating lake.
Other great places to discover include:
- Beacon Hill Country Park (10 minutes)
- Thornton Reservoir (10 minutes)
- Swithland Woods and Reservoir (15 minutes)
- Tropical Birdland (15 minutes)
- National Space Centre (20 minutes)
