  • 70-acre estate including fields and woodlands
  • Large fishing lake with rudd, roach and tench
  • Perfect place to explore the Lincolnshire countryside
No word of a lie: you might land a whopper of a carp at Oakhill Leisure between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. For monsters of up to 35lb have been angled for at the site's six-acre fishing lake, as well as sizeable specimens of rudd, roach and tench. If you're not fishing or if you feel like doing a victory lap after landing a massive carp, plenty is on hand to explore, as Oakhill is on a site made up of the 10-acre campsite, walking and playing fields covering 30 acres, and finally about 20 acres of woodland. Take the 20 to 30 minute circular walk around the lake and through the woodland; it and the site grounds are pretty handsome.... The accommodation part of Oakhill is on flat and well-drained grassland, bordered by trees on three sides and a hedge. Toilets, showers (new in 2019) and a washroom are in the facilities building and a play area is also on site. But back to the fishing... You'll need a fishing licence (available at the post office) to fish at Oakhill Leisure, as well as your own equipment and bait; a small charge applies to angle on site, and you'll need to call the office in advance to book your peg. Please note that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult and that they aren't allowed to stay around the lake overnight.

Claire S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked From arriving we felt comfortable there was the anpr barrier to access the site. The lady who runs it is an absolute gem, so friendly and welcoming, and gave us all the info we needed. The fact we could pitch our tent up wherever we chose was perfect too. Very level pitch which is ideal for tents. The surrounds are breathtaking the views just went on forever. The site is so peaceful and everyone stuck to the quiet times which is fantastic when you have children. The other campers were also friendly which is lovely especially when it's your first time camping. The co-op shop is literally 4 mins away in the car which is ideal. The cost to camp was good value too. the showers, toilets and pot washing area was absolutely spotless and modern. You can tell the owner takes great pride in the entire site. We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to return. The kids absolutely loved it.

Disliked The only thing we disliked was having to leave we would have loved to stay a lot longer. So watch this space we will be back, our kids wanted to live there that's how much they loved it too ❤️

Sam R.

Electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked This site was great. Fab facilities that were clean and modern even with their modest size.

The pitches were spacious and the surroundings lovely.

The lady who managed the site was super friendly and helpful.

It’s located just far enough away from the main road that you can’t hear any road noise but close enough that it’s easily accessible - 4 mins from the A46 but we didn’t hear a sound. It’s completely rural - just as we like.

Would 100% and recommend to others.

Local attractions

Food, glorious food... bring the bike and cycle to the nearby villages of Norton Disney, Bassingham and Auborn for drinks and home-cooked Lincolnshire food in friendly well-run pubs. Evening meals recommended by the team are at the Green Man pub a mile and a half away. Visit nearby Newark for its castle, National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum and central square with a market all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Food and drink are recommended here too at Oakhill Leisure's fave coffee shop Strays in Middle Gate. The site is handy for lovely Lincoln, where you can have a look at the castle, the Medieval Bishop's Palace and the grand old cathedral: the views (and the walk to it up Steep Hill) are just a bit breathtaking...
