  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site, very well kept. Easy instructions on arrival as we were later than planned so everything was left for us. We had a perfect pitch for having the alpacas as company, LOVED that 🥰 The laurel hedges used to divide the individual pitches is a very pretty touch. No issues, thanks for having us 🙂

Alpaca cabin

Liked: The site is clean and well kept. The owners, Julie and Gary have made it so it sets it apart from other campsites we have visited. Their attention to detail is miles ahead. The Alpaca Lodge we stayed in, far exceeded our expectations. Having been used to tent camping, this was LUXURY. The kitchen was well equipt with everything you could need with a Microwave, toaster and if needed a multi-cooker. The aircon/heating system they have installed is another added bonus as it did get cold at night- June and we need heating?! 5 minutes blasting that out and we were toasty! There is an onsite pub- The Alpaca's Arms. It is warm, inviting and dog friendly. The beer is good, what more can you ask? If you do have dogs and like to walk there are many different walks within 15 minutes drive of the site. Waters edge country park was beautiful and Humber Bridge Viewing point walk was great too. Thanks for a great stay!

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Quiet location down a no through road. Small site with well thought out quality facilities. Handy spot for crossing the Humber. Alpacas a nice extra. Little summerhouse pub looked good, but we didn't need it on this occasion. Friendly owner.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: A great site with great hosts. Super fast check in and the Alpacas add a real positive twist to a conventional site. The Alpaca Arms is also a great addition and is the perfect watering hole.

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.
