Adults-only glampsite on the scenic Humber estuary
Half an hour from Hull for museums, galleries and nights out
Fully licensed bar The Alpaca Arms on site

Plenty of soothing greenery, friendly alpacas to meet and no pesky kids scurrying around breaking the peace… yes please. If that sounds like a top getaway for your good and deserving self, break now for a stay at Marshlands Alpacas, an adults-only site with a fully licensed bar on site named The Alpaca Arms. It's less than five minutes’ drive from the Lincolnshire village of New Holland. A five minute-stroll from New Holland and the banks of the Humber estuary, this is a prime spot to use as a base for Lincolnshire explores, with plenty of peaceful trails nearby to follow. Walk or bike by the river’s edge to soak up views of the wildlife and passing boats, or wander along one of the public footpaths for easy jaunts to the surrounding villages. For a touch of grandeur, head instead to Normanby Hall and Gardens, half an hour away, to stroll among Victorian outbuildings, spot Bambi and pals in the deer park and tour the grand old pile of bricks at its centre. If the deer aren't dear to your heart, hang out with the fluffy herd of alpacas at Marshlands instead. As the evening draws in, there are barbecues to rent on site to keep bodies well fed for more explores, and scenic views across the countryside add a hint of the pastoral to this already peaceful spot. Not sweet enough? Nab a jar of marshlands honey on site as a welcome souvenir.

Laura L. Sept 2024

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Absolutely nothing not to like about this site. Compact without being crowded, so even when busy there's tonnes of room but you never have to walk far for amenities. Nicest facilities I think I've seen at such a reasonably priced site - and always totally spotless.

Both Julie & Gary warm, friendly and welcoming (as well as being hilarious!), both very hands on with their work. Their campers are considered friends, and they have many regular returners.

Nicely situated with food shops no more than ten minutes drive, plus walking distance to train station and less than 10 miles from major motorway connections.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Without any kids in tow, having hols full of grownup-sanctioned adventure is a cinch: head towards Grimsby (half an hour's drive) for tours and tastings at Rutlands Arms Old Mill Brewery and a stop at the taproom of the town’s newest brewery, Docks Beers. Otherwise, venture towards Hull for sedate turns around pleasant gardens, stately manors, museums galore and a must-do stop at The Deep aquarium. Anyone who’s after something more high-adrenaline and doesn’t mind a slightly longer drive should make the hour and 20-minute journey down the coast to Ingoldmells for a day at Fantasy Island theme park, or continue on to Skeggy for stock car and banger racing at Skegness Raceway. For days in the great wide open, there’s plenty of choice: the Lincolnshire Wolds are about half an hour away for hiking, biking, riding and geocaching, or a coastal detour to Cleethorpes and its seaside stretch is a top pick for beach and sandcastle days. A trip to Spurn National Nature Reserve shouldn’t be spurned either, even if it’s over an hour away – take a stroll along the sand island for slow-paced explores or sign up for a safari or wildlife-spotting boat trip to see it at its best.
