Purple Badger Camping & Fishing Lakes offers camping & glamping set by two fishing lakes at Beeby on the border of Leicestershire and Rutland. Come and enjoy our beautiful haven. Situated amongst woodland you will be able to get away from it all and enjoy the remoteness and wildlife.
We have seven pitches available for tents (sorry no touring caravans or motorhomes please). The ten metre wide pitches are named after fictional badgers. They are spacious pitches and each pitch has its own fire pit area.
There are also two bell tents already set up, for you to hire, Millie & Val. Millie is furnished with a double bed and has everything you may need for a glamping break, Val is ready for you to bring all your own camping equipment.
There are two communal areas, the Badger's Den which is sheltered and there for you to escape the sun or rain and The Old Chicken Shed, where you can wash up. There is also drinking water and a fridge/freezer here. We also have a Coffee Cart for drinks, snacks & hot sandwiches.
The showers & toilets are within easy reach, there are two toilets in wooden huts and the showers are set in a horse box.
We also offer two shepherds huts, Logan & Jude. These are set at the top of one of the lakes and offer you a touch of luxury where you can come and totally unwind and relax. They can be hired separately or both together. All the basics are provided including bedding, but please bring your own towels. The huts both have a woodburner, electric hob and microwave, small fridge and all the usual utensils and crockery you may need. Both of the huts also have their own shower and toilet in the shepherds hut. There is a table and chairs outside for you to enjoy the evening sun after a day out exploring or fishing.
Fishing is available all year round and must be booked via our website. The two lakes offer a wealth of fish, including Roach, Perch, Carp and Rudd.
There is plenty to see and do in the area (apart from fishing), the local market towns of Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough are worth a visit, or you may want a walk or cycle around Rutland Water. Other attractions nearby include:
Oakham Castle.
National Space Centre.
Abbey Park.
Leicester Cathedral.
Melton Carnegie Museum.
