Lincolnshire Lanes

This campsite in the Lincolnshire countryside has a good old-fashioned feel so it’s no surprise when you learn that it’s been welcoming campers for more than 20 years. It’s in a peaceful rural spot, with 40 pitches, a couple of log cabins and a handful of glamping options. It can be hard to please all of the people all of the time, but this site has a good go at it with options for just about everyone. Glampers, campers and caravans are equally welcome here. Dogs are allowed and families are well-catered for. There’s a go-to space for groups and a peaceful adults-only field too.

A mix of off-grid and electric hook-up pitches are available across two adjoining flat fields. The main camping field, surrounded by hedges, has plenty of space for games and family fun with pitches around its edges. Beyond this, there’s the Rally or Overflow field. This space has a few electric hook-up pitches which are fixed, but otherwise it’s a pitch-where-you please affair; great for families who want to pitch up together.

Situated in their own enclosure at the bottom of this second camping field are two fully-equipped bell tents and two more which are rented unfurnished. There’s also a fully-equipped and insulated glamping pod among the trees, with a private kitchen and toilet. A gypsy caravan finishes off the campsite’s glamping offering, situated on the quiet side sitting cosy in between large conifer trees. The last accommodation here is even more solid: two log cabins tucked in a grove of Christmas trees which provide year-round self catering stays close to the small and peaceful cluster of adults-only pitches.

While the old-fashioned fun of camping (and campfires) is what this place is all about, it has evolved a little over the years. Food trucks pay regular visits and, in the school holidays, there are bushcraft sessions taking place in the site’s small woodland. Owners Robert and Rosemary, assisted by daughter Victoria, have also developed a den-building area, added to the rustic playground and made a games and craft room for kids. These former farmer’s fields are surrounded by Lincolnshire countryside that’s ripe for rural rambles. You can walk 40 minutes to a good pub with a beer garden or drive in 20 to historic Lincoln with its mighty cathedral.
