What visitors say
just finished a 2 night stay here, has a toilet and 2 showers on site, a room to do your washing and washing up etc, it is clean considering it is a working farm, well worth a stay if you dont mind the noise from the sheep 🤣, also the lady that runs it who i spoke to a few times is very polite, makes you feel very welcome and is very approachable, also note there is 1 sheep that jumps the fence into the camping area thats nothing to worry about and will make its own way back in 🤣😂

My wife and I spent three weeks at this lovely site. A perfect location to relax and enjoy the views from the field. Walking distance to the Manor pub and Quorn railway station. So nice to be back with nature surrounded by sheep , cattle and horses. The facilities were adequate for our needs and the couple who own this site are friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Second time we have stayed at Whattoff Lodge Farm. We took our motorhome which cost a very reasonable £18 a night for electric hook up. After all the recent rain we needed some help from a tractor to get off the field! Staying here is ideal if you are going to the Great Central Railway which is just a short walk away. No rush to get you off the site on Sunday morning which is nice. Bare in mind this is a working farm so there is vehicle movement happening. Thanks to Mr & Mrs Thomas for an enjoyable stay and certainly hope to visit again.

Good location and a beautiful camping field. Basic site. Working toilets and shower though a good scrub wouldn't go unwelcome. Pack some toilet rolls!
