  • Peaceful working farm site surrounded by Lincolnshire grazing fields
  • Within easy reach of Newark, Lincoln, Grantham and Nottingham
  • Option of ordering full English or continental breakfasts
Huge spacious pitches and open fields await at this back to basics site in rural Lincolnshire, in a handsomely historic location between ancient Lincoln and the old market towns of Sleaford, Newark and Grantham, and within easy reach of the lights and sights of Nottingham. Adjoined to a working farm, this site is in a peaceful spot and secluded setting, surrounded by countryside a short distance from the River Witham. Rectory Farm is shaded by mature trees and has spacious grassy pitches among a field surrounded by hawthorn hedges. Guests are welcome to choose a pitch under the shade of mature trees or out in the open. The site owners give you the option of ordering full English or continental breakfasts, so no need for camping stove faff in the morning if you'd rather get up and out for your days of sightseeing. On the amenities front, toilets, showers and a washing-up area are all available for guests' use. As this site is on a working farm, there'll often be tractors and trailers trundling up and down the farm track during harvest time in August and September until around 9pm.

What customers say

This peaceful, friendly campsite on a working farm is set in a beautiful orchard. Reviewers praise the tranquil atmosphere, spacious pitches, and welcoming hosts who are happy to offer farm tours. Facilities, including a hot shower and toilet, are generally clean and functional, though some noted they are basic and can be busy during peak times. Optional cooked breakfasts are highly recommended. Some guests experienced issues with waterlogged pitches in wet weather, and occasional road noise, but overall feedback is very positive.

Local attractions

Nearby are the British Horological Institute at Upton, with its huge collection of clocks, watches and other timepieces, and Newark Showground, where you can pick up bargainous bits at one of its regular antique fairs. Plenty of history is also over at Lincoln half an hour's drive away – must-sees while you're there include the castle and cathedral, and nearby the National Trust properties of Grantham House and Tattershall Castle are both worthy of a half-day trip. Newark, famed for its starring role in the English Civil War, is another tiptop spot: wander the exhibits of the National Civil War Centre and take the Nottinghamshire Civil War Trail to key locations around the town and several of Nottinghamshire's other historic hotspots. Newark also has a weekly market and regular medieval jousting weekends.
