Absolutely zero. If you can find me a campsite in a city centre anywhere in the world I would be amazed! Plus Leicestershire itself is hardly camping holiday-tastic in any case. Your best bet is a B&B or something.

there's one on De Montfort Street, which is about 10 mins walk from WR whose name escapes me, but it's supposed to be pretty reasonable, clean and comfy. I shall google it and get back to you.

Are you thinking of the park hotel. it's on the corner with london road.

God no! I work opposite there and the shenanigans that go on involving the Police boggle the mind! There was one time when one of my colleagues, waiting at the bus stop to go home just near there, was suddenly surrounded by police cars and there was a raid with the heavy mob, and this woman in an advanced stage of undress climbed out of one of the sub-basement windows! I wouldn't send my worst enemy's dog's pet flea there!

No it was Spindle Lodge in West Street - if you look in the Yellow Pages in Hotels, p.4 or 5, their number is there.
