  • Friendly, family-run farm site within 15 minutes' drive of beaches
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth market town; half an hour from Skegness
  • On the main bus route from Lincoln to Mablethorpe (via Louth)
Based in the pretty rural village of South Reston near Louth, Holme Lea makes a handy base for exploring the beaches and wolds of lovely Lincolnshire. Welcoming families and (well-behaved) canines, pitches are scattered across a four-acre site that's neatly divided into two well-maintained and level grass paddocks sheltered by high hedges. This is a handy spot to stay in if you want to ditch the car – Holme Lea sits at the foot of the gorgeous Lincolnshire Wolds, with abundant cycle and walking routes to try out. The local village of South Reston is on a main bus route too, so you can catch regular services to Louth and Lincoln, or seaside towns including Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) and Skegness (half an hour). The village also has a popular local pub, which you can walk to in five minutes; as well as serving a decent pint, it has a small essentials shop if you happen to run out of supplies. For those who want to fish, there are also fisheries within five minutes' drive of the site. Simple on-site facilities include a toilet block, emptying point and various drinking water points around the pitches. There's also a shower room (with sink, toilet and shower) available for a small extra charge.

What customers say

Holme Lea is a well-maintained, friendly campsite with spacious pitches. Owners Louise and Steve are consistently praised for their helpfulness and accommodating nature. The site is popular with families due to ample space for children to play and its quiet, peaceful atmosphere. While basic, facilities are generally clean. Some reviews mention the single shower can be a point of congestion during peak times. The location is ideal for exploring the coast and nearby towns.

 Kayleigh W. 1 review

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Beautiful location in a quiet village giving you the feeling of being out in nature and away from all the noise. There was plenty to do for the kids with a play area, bikes and other toys provided aswell as a huge field to play in. The site was clean and had everything you needed, and only a 20 minute drive into mablethorpe. The owners/staff were lovely and very welcoming and were willing to help in any way they could. I would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway and we can’t wait to visit again.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked All areas, always clean and well looked after, the owners were lovely along with others pitched onsite, no rush to leave, even managed one last trip to the beach the day we left before packing up, lent me tent pegs and a mallet after i forgot ours, The park on site was brilliant for early mornings it really kept the kids busy , loads of other children on site for the kids to make freinds, i pitched just behind it so could see the kids constantly, my son even rode a bike without stabliers for the first time, was so sad to leave but will 100% be back already planning on booking again for a weeks time but for abit longer, 15 mins to Mablethorpe, nice drive, i was nervous camping alone with 3 kids but felt safe on site

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Für uns war es eine tolle Erfahrung dort zu sein. Ein wunderbar friedlicher Campingplatz mit viel Platz, umgeben von Feldern und Pferdekoppeln. Wir trafen dort auf sehr herzliche Menschen!
Alles was wir brauchten war vorhanden.
Absolut faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Von dort aus konnten wir prima Tagesausflüge zu verschiedenen Stränden oder Badeorten unternehmen. Auch das Städtchen Louth war definitiv einen Besuch wert.
Wir freuen uns darauf wiederzukommen!

Liked Lovely relaxed campsite with nice friendly owners. Louise thoughtfully placed us in view of the play area which our 2 young children throughly enjoyed. We loved the location, it felt rural and quiet whilst still being within easy reach of Mablethorpe. We would definitely stay again.

Local attractions

Longing for a dip in the sea? The vast beach at Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) has clean, safe water backed by a promenade, fish and chip shops and crazy golf to keep everybody busy. Skegness (half an hour) is another resort catering for all the family with amusement arcades, bowling and go-karting. For a run around on almost-deserted sand dunes, head for Theddlethorpe (15 minutes), where you can walk any canine chums and may never see another soul. Wildlife lovers can feed cute rescue seals and get up close to birds of prey at Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre (15 minutes), or spot big cats and bears at Wolds Wildlife Park (25 minutes), while kids can accompany keepers on their rounds at The Jungle Zoo (40 minutes). Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (50 minutes) and Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony (half an hour) are the places to see common seal colonies. Market town and self-appointed ‘capital’ of the Lincolnshire Wolds Louth (15 minutes) is home to numerous well-priced antique shops, and is the jumping-off point for circular or long-distance walks in the hills. For a bit more adrenaline in your life, see what's on at Cadwell Park Circuit (15 minutes), or sign up for a track day.
