Broome Island is a unique campsite on the River Soar, only accessible by boat, offering a secluded getaway for community groups, canoe adventures, families, couples, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and more.

Customers must book in advance, and all bookings have exclusive use of the site. Feel free to bring your narrowboat, cruiser, dingy, kayak or paddleboard, or ask us for kayak hire!

The site has a caravan-style toilet, sink and hot shower, and USB charging sockets. There is a central fire pit, a double-width brick BBQ, a large picnic bench and an outdoor washing up sink. The facilities are off-grid with rainwater harvesting, drinking water is provided separately.

The nearby villages of Mountsorrel and Barrow Upon Soar have full amenities including pubs, resturants and shops. Further afield are Loughborough and the City of Leicester.

Our Riverside Cabin is new for 2024 and features a comfy double bed, mini fridge and warm furnishings, for a more luxurious trip or that special couple's occasion.

Bookings of eight or more people will incur a flat rate wardening fee of £100 (due to the unique off-grid facilities, a warden is required to maintain a safe and hygienic site).

We at Broome Island have a strong sense of community responsibility and want to make the waterways accessible to all. Please contact us for a copy of our Access Statement.
