Ullesthorpe Campsite comprises 8 acres of woodland and is situated in rural Leicestershire which is in the centre of the UK.
The site is managed by South Leicestershire District Scout Council, and aims to provide camping and pack holiday facilities for Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Guides and Brownies and is also available for other youth groups.
Due to recent improvements to our facilities, we are now more able to cater for those with physical disabilities.
