  • Dog-friendly site in a peaceful country park in Lincolnshire
  • A 15-minute drive from Lincoln and 55 minutes from Skegness
  • Picnic areas, dog walk and CCTV cameras on site
What might you get up to at Barlings Country Holiday Park? Cycling and walking in the peaceful Lincolnshire countryside – or skipping between seaside resorts such as Skegness and Mablethorpe, 55 minutes’ drive away? Set in a country park 15 minutes’ drive from Lincoln, the site has 23 acres and a rather attractive backdrop, with lakes adding a splash of scenery. Perhaps you'll want to plop down in one of the peaceful picnic areas with your dog beside you (two dogs are permitted per pitch, as long as they're kept on a lead and accompanied at all times). For their morning walkies, just head to the on-site dog walk and the waste bin at the end of the footpath when they do their business. Other facilities on site include a central modern amenities block with wet rooms (disabled shower facilities and baby changing too), plus a slightly older shower block further into the park. The amenities block has water filling and emptying points, recycling points, a washing-up area and a coin-operated laundry room. Things already feel pretty spacious and private here, but you're even more likely to sleep soundly with a belly full of tasty food from the several food shops, restaurants and pubs 10 minutes’ drive away. There are also CCTV cameras on site for your security and peace of mind.

What customers say

This is a peaceful and well-maintained site with friendly, helpful staff. Visitors praise the clean facilities, generous pitch sizes, and scenic lake views. Security barriers provide a sense of safety. Minor points raised include push-button showers that can switch off quickly and occasional issues with shower temperature. Some reviews mention bird (particularly goose) and duck poo, and fishing lakes could benefit from weed removal. A few guests reported uneven grass pitches and soft ground. Managers have noted feedback on pitch levelling and are looking into additional dog poo bins.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The site was spacious and it was clean. It was good to see the ducks and geese and it was clean.

The residents on the site were very friendly.

Disliked I would not recommend this site for tent Campers and I would not expect that to be a surprise to the owners. This is a site for fixed caravans, permanent touring caravans and then tourers in caravans and motor homes. For tents and those travelling without electricity there is very poor provision.

The location for tents is pre-determined at the edge of the site and the furthest point from the washing and toilet facilities. This is incredibly awkward at night when a significant walk is needed if the toilet is required.

There is no assistance for light electrical requirement, such as a socket, or even USB point for charging phones or a laptop.

There is no communal fridge/freezer for ice packs to be frozen or small amounts of perishables to be stored.

The sink does provide hot water but it is located outside. Fine in the dry and when warm but not good at other times.

There are few camping tables and none in the space allocated to tents.

I may have missed facilities which were in fact elsewhere. If that is the case then I will put that down to very poor welcome and orientation. At no point did the owners pop over to check if all was ok. It honestly felt as though provision for tents was a complete afterthought and I suspect a little bit inconvenient.

I think that we probably made a mistake in booking this site and maybe should have expected that tent campers were not the priority, this review is intended to help others like ourselves who may not understand the nature of the site. We were the only tent campers on a very large site and this experience will make me do better research in future.

From the manager: Hello I am very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us.
We have lots of customers come with tents but they have electric hook ups.
You did chose a non electric pitch so I am a bit surprised as to why you thought there would be the provision to charge a laptop or phones.
If you had asked in reception we would have gladly popped some perishables in the fridge freezer for you.
Most of our non electric tent campers are cyclists and we have never had any complaints about the pitches nor the 5-8 minute walk to the toilet/shower blocks.
Sorry again that you were disappointed

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely location. Well kept site with good facilities. Showers and toilets always clean and never had to wait for any to be free even in the summer holidays.

Disliked There were LOTS of ants. Not a fault of the campsite but they were absolutely everywhere on the grass pitches and were coming inside the tent and caravan. I’m not sure if we were maybe pitched on nests.

Local attractions

It's a hop, skip and a jump from the site to Woodside Wildlife Park (five minutes' drive), a local zoo with live feeding demonstrations where you can get up close and personal with an array of animals. More family-friendly animal antics are on hand at similarly nearby Rand Farm Park too (10 minutes), where there is also indoor and outdoor play for younger visitors. Look to Lincoln (15 minutes) for days out with grownups and older kids: it's got a castle, a cathedral, an ancient copy of the Magna Carta and excellent opportunities for shopping, dining and exploring old cobbled streets. If you liked being on your feet in Lincoln, head to the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape (25 minutes) for more rambling, this time in the countryside, and take on some of the 76-mile Lincolnshire Wolds Way. Hearing the call of the coast? It's just under an hour to seaside towns like Cleethorpes, Skegness with its pier and Mablethorpe with its amusements.
