About Emily's Cut
Tucked away near Halstead, Emily's Cut offers genuinely private camping on an exclusive-use site that's yours alone once booked – ideal for groups or families who value having the run of the place. Up to 20 grass pitches spread across the field mean there's proper breathing room, and the back-to-basics setup welcomes tents and tourers alongside campfires under the stars and four-legged friends.
Essential facilities cover the basics – showers, toilets, and drinking water are all on hand – though there's no chemical disposal point for motorhomes or WiFi to distract from the simpler pleasures. It's a straightforward, no-frills base for exploring Leicestershire's countryside, where the trade-off for seclusion and flexibility is a more rustic experience than some might expect.

What visitors say
Lovely private Campsite. Corralled by woodland trees and in a wonderfully scenic location. Nice basic facilities - x2 Porta-loo cabins, drinking water tap, a 4 block shower cubicle structure, a cold water only shower nook and a large 'open fire' pit for late night campfire cooking. The site only looses a star for two small reasons - the shower cubicles not currently being plumbed in (I'm sure they will be soon) and the main road was busier and noisier that expected, which isn't an issue if you pitch to the far end of the site. Overall, really nice, beautiful & basic site to stay at 😀

Being the owner of a small camper van I’m a big fan of wild camping and I know the frustration of not being able to find such places.So i can imagine what it’s like for someone with a metal detector when they find a bit of treasure because that’s what it felt like for me when I found Emily’s Cut camping ground with water supply,cold shower & a portaloo which is cleaned on a regular basis.Also there is a lovely village pub just a 20 minute walk away which serves good food and are very welcoming. This site is level cut grass area of approx 2 acres,perfect for groups of friends,family’s & pets.The only thing about hidden gems like this is they don’t stay hidden for very long.

Absolutely perfect place to camp for both big and small groups looking for privacy and freedom. My group of 12 stayed for four nights and Absolutely loved our time on site. For a start the space is incredibly large, kept clean and tidy and surrounded by hedgerow for complete privacy. The comfort of easy road access and parking right next to your tent cannot be overstated. In terms of facilities there are picnic tables to congregate around and a large fire pit to use throughout your stay. The 2 portaloos were clean and easily accessible, as were the drinking water tap and cold shower cubicle. We enjoyed a meal at the local pub, trips into Leicester and as well visits to Bradgate Deer Park and Rutland Water and still felt we scratched the surface of the surrounding area. All in all this site is perfect should you want your own space and Andy made booking it a breeze. I intend to make use of Emily's Cut again and suggest you try it too.

Second time at the campsite. The place is still beautiful, very quiet, secluded and can have the whole campsite for the family. Had a great time with lots of friends and families all bringing kids & dogs. Facilities much better than the last time I was there. Highly recommended and will be back again!! Thank you to the operators who are very responsive and helpful.
