  • Peaceful park with spectacular views
  • Less than half an hour's drive from Lincoln
  • Fresh eggs for sale from resident hens
Bells, whistles and noisy nightclubbing are not what you'll find on the menu at Larkrise Holiday Campsite in Lincolnshire. But you'll be able to sample first-rate vistas, wide open space, peace, quiet and pitches on a huge grass field – and the freshest of eggs for sale from resident hens. It's enough to make one get up very early. Larkrise is in an agreeably rurally location but only about a 25-minute drive from Lincoln, a mile from the pubs and food shops of the local village and also a mile from the butcher, café and produce of the award-winning Uncle Henry's Farm Shop (we'd bet a year's worth of Lincolnshire sausages that littlies will love the tractor and tyre swings at this last). As well as the huge pitching field, Larkrise comes with showers and loos, chemical loos, fresh water, chemical disposal, optional electric and picnic tables.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Perfect for what we were wanted. Small site of 6 pitches in a small field. Electric power point and water tap. Basic toilet and shower block. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely book again!

Disliked: Close to the road

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are so pleased you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you again. Just a point of clarification for people who don't know the site there is a fence, vegetation and wide grass verge between the site and our local country lane. We appreciate some people don't want to know to be aware of any type of road when they camp but one of the plus points for children is the site is so well back from any road access, they can play with a ball without fear of external traffic.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very quiet and tidy, nice and flat with no stones so an easy pitch. Shower was hot!

Disliked: Only a tiny sink in the toilet facilities, so probably better for campers who are self contained with your own kitchen. A simple improvement would be larger hooks in the shower cubicle and a couple of decking tiles to step out onto.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely site. Owners were nice. Stacey the manager was great to talk too, she even let my children see the animals. Very rural. Little shop on site was great. Great space for children to play with a football net.

Disliked: Nowhere to walk safely. Toilets and showers were very dirty and smelt awful.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The showers and toilets are regularly cleaned although children can bring grass etc in on their shoes. There is nothing about the way they are kept to make them smell bad . As for the comment " Nowhere to walk safely"...this is a small rural site so we obviously cannot provide walks around the site which is on a nice safe field away from the road so children can play in safety. . The farm/site is situated on a country lane and so it does not have a pavement . Nearby there are interesting walks around the village and 10 minutes by car excellent walks around Twigmore Woods.

Thankyou. See you again.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: One of the most peaceful campsites I have stayed at. The hosts were lovely and couldn't be more helpful. Its in a beautiful rural location and is exactly what it says on the tin. Loved our stay there, thank you very much! Pitches were very generous in size and configuration of them allowed for privacy, there was only one other tent there but it felt like we were totally alone which was ideal for us. It was well sheltered from the crazy winds elsewhere in the country on this particular weekend.

Local attractions

To Lincoln first, we think, for castle, cathedral, Medieval Bishop's Palace and the two million or so objects of The Collection which now includes the Usher Gallery. Whisby Nature Reserve and Hartsholme Country Park, RAF Waddington, RAF Scampton and Cadwell Park motor racing circuit are all just outside Lincoln, while more speedy days out are at Gainsborough's Blyton Circuit and the hair-raising skydiving of Hibaldstow Airfield. Hang gliding is nearby at Trent Valley Gliding Club. History and heritage hunters in the region have quite a bit more to pick from, from the fifteenth century timber-framed stronghouse of Gainsborough Old Hall to grander piles in the region like Elsham Hall and Normanby Hall. The four-sailed Mount Pleasant Mill at Kirton-in-Lindsey is a pleasant sight for photos; afterwards, take one of the Kirton-in-Lindsey walks north or south from the market place. A garden centre for another wander is at Kirton Lindsey Retail Park in Station Road. Finally, the really determined heritage hunters should have at least a day picking through the treasures of 375 antique dealers at Hemswell Antiques in Gainsborough, and foodies will squeal at the range of produce available at the Pink Pig farm shop in Scunthorpe.
