About the campsite
Willesley Campsite is located 1 mile south west of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. It occupies 14 acres of the old Willesley Hall and estate from which part of the original gatehouse is still visible. The site has open fields, patrol areas, a coniferous wood and its own church. It is ideal for many events and activities including Beaver sleepovers, Cub camps, Scout Patrol camping, Family camps and District events.
We welcome bookings from Scout and Guide groups, schools, Duke of Edinburgh and other recognised youth groups. Full site bookings for exclusive use of the site (ex-activities) for the weekend is now available.
There are two toilet blocks, both with showers. Activities include a 15 metre Climbing and Abseil tower, a rifle range, potholing course, archery range, karting, bouldering wall, High Zip wire, Low Zip wire and several other activities. Sweets and souvenirs are available from the tuck shop. Alter fires are available for campers to use on their own pitches and a campfire circle is located near to the lake. The gatehouse and the cabin are available for indoor events or accommodation. There are many local attractions that can be visited from the campsite.
