  • Small dog-friendly site surrounded by the Lincolnshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to Cleethorpes’ beach, boating lake and country park
  • Barbecues and firepits welcome; five minutes’ drive to shops and pubs
Looking for some downtime in pretty Lincolnshire? Noah’s Retreat will soon have you building barbecues or dabbling in watersports on the Lincolnshire coast 20 minutes’ drive away. The small, friendly Laceby site is 15 minutes’ drive from Grimsby and 20 minutes from Cleethorpes and welcomes dogs and families. There’s plenty of countryside around Noah’s Retreat for walking your little furry companions, and they’re sure to be well pleased with the leftovers you wind up with after your barbecues. The keen golfers among you might want to get out on the golf course next door. Come nightfall, rustle up a firepit if you’d like (or get yourself any early night for the next day’s adventures). If you’d like something tasty to much on around the pit, there are shops in Waltham five minutes’ drive away. And if you’d like to let someone else sort out your dinner for you, there’s also a bunch of takeaways, pubs and restaurants within five minutes’ drive of Noah’s Retreat. There are handy public transport links in the towns too.

What customers say

This is a quiet, basic campsite with spacious, flat pitches and generally clean facilities. The location is praised for its convenience to local towns and the coast. Many guests found the staff friendly and welcoming. However, some reviews mention ongoing construction, outdated facilities, and occasional issues with cleanliness or noise from other campers. The site appears to be transitioning towards luxury lodges, with changes affecting the original camping experience.

Non-electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked We were a bit sceptical about booking this site because of some of the reviews saying it was noisy and people felt intimated by people that lived on the site, but it was a last minute booking for bank holiday weekend and there wasn't a lot of choice left so we went for it and we are so pleased we did. It was a lovely quiet site 20 minutes from Cleethorpes which we love, and it was very family and dog friendly, relaxed and restful. There aren't loads of showers & toilets but enough for everyone there on a busy bank holiday weekend and clean enough. We had a lovely weekend and will definitely be back.

Amy N.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Flat tidy pitches with parking, friendly staff, ability to have a fire, great location, the walk around the lake. Peaceful, even on a bank holiday weekend.
Having seen some harsh reviews we were pleasantly surprised, we've definitely stayed in worse. It's not filthy at all, we all even managed decent showers too, the staff did well to keep on top of cleanliness. Its really not that bad!

Disliked If being picky a tap nearer the campers pitch would've been handy, another sink plug in the washing up area so 2 could use it at once.

Louise W.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Good location. Nice owner. Good sized pitch but also wasn’t full so could be why. Can’t complain though.
Was worried electric wouldn’t reach but luckily our cable was long enough! Our friends had to use an extension though - really depends on your cable length and where you’re pitched up.

Disliked Toilets and showers could do with an update. Seems they’re building a new reception but probably be better to upgrade those instead. On our final morning the hot water ran out too! Luckily we were done by then but many people weren’t.
Some scruffy looking caravans on the site. Seemed inhabited but on the pitches?

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Pitches were fairly big and the ground was flat.

Disliked The toilets and shower area were absolutely filthy.
We were pitched at the bottom end of the field so had a long walk to go to the toilet.

There were people pitched in two blue tents that's were shouting and swearing until gone 11pm.

People were driving round and reving cars and motor bikes after 11pm.

There are people who actually live on the site that were quite intimidating at times.

Fishing is no longer allowed by campers which was a dampener on our stay.

I would not return nor recommend the site to anyone. It appears that the lodges are more of interest than the actual camp site.

There are cheaper cleaner sites close by.

Local attractions

Get your coastal fix in Cleethorpes (20 minutes’ drive). The beach rents out single or double kayaks and paddleboards for those wanting to get out on the water and there’s a boating lake if you’d rather keep your paddles to a pedalo. Cleethorpes Country Park (20 minutes) is another popular spot, for cycles especially. Perhaps you’d like to inject a bit of history or education into your trip. One easy way to do this is by taking a ride on one of the UK’s oldest coastal miniature railways, the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway (20 minutes). Another is with a visit to Grimsby’s (15 minutes) minster and fishing heritage centre. Then, there’s the museum of rural life at the six-sail Waltham Windmill (five minutes) too. Lemurs, chameleons and meerkats, anyone? Kids can learn how to feed the zoo animals from the keepers at Jungle Zoo (20 minutes), a small family-run zoo.
