  • Simple pitches at a Lincolnshire farm five minutes’ drive from Wragby
  • A 10-minute walk from a nature reserve and swimming/watersports lake
  • Woodland views; 15 minutes’ drive from the Lincolnshire Wolds
A little walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds, followed by an open-water swim or paddleboarding at neighbouring Ocean Walker Academy (addtional charge for the latter two)? If that sounds like a pretty fine way to spend a day, plot a course to Forest View Camping, in the Lincolnshire countryside five minutes’ drive from Wragby and 20 minutes from Market Rasen. The views and vibe here are mighty peaceful, as the site looks out over farmland and the next-door woodland (part of the Bardney Limewoods National Nature Reserve). The surrounding area, though, is packed with things to do: for starters, a 10-minute walk will get you to Chambers Farm Woods for woodland walks, picnic spots and a butterfly garden. Other days out? Well, it’ll take you about 15 minutes in the car to get to the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape for a stroll or to meet the residents of the Wolds Wildlife Park. The centre of Lincoln is about 25 minutes away for city wanders, and Skegness 45 minutes for a bit of beach time. Back at base, it’s a fairly simple setup that’s been designed to integrate well with its setting on a family-run working farm. Pitches are flat and well maintained, and have access to modern toilet and shower facilities.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, rural campsite on a working farm with immaculately clean facilities. Guests praise the quiet atmosphere, spacious pitches, and friendly owners. It's well-located for exploring local towns and attractions. Minor concerns include occasional queues for facilities during peak times and a desire for more toilets and showers when busy.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Really enjoyed ourselves. It’s great you have the option to buy a campfire and the facilities were within walking distance and were always very clean. Loved being so close to the animals too!

Disliked The £2 spend for the shower, although the facilities were clean and very useful we felt they should be included in the price we paid to pitch.

We did not know how to connect to the wifi was wasn’t sent a code or anything

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked How quiet it was, seeing lambs nearby and hearing them. Accessible toilets and showers. Lovely view of the trees along the horizon at sunset. 10 minute walk or 1 minute drive to a swimming lake with saunas, massage etc and close to a few nearby towns and villages to collect every you may need. Also close to woodland which we didn’t get time to enjoy but hope to in the future. Also met the owner and she was very welcoming. Great, well organised place to stay!

Liked It was lovely, quiet site in rural countryside on a working farm. We were there for 8 nights. It was a great base for visiting Lincoln, Aviation museum and the pretty towns of Horncastle and Louth.

Disliked When the weekend arrived there was a queue for the toilet and shower facilities.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great location, well kept campsite, nice showers and facilities and amenities and also close to the beach and shops if needed, whilst also being nice and tucked away from busy roads etc

Disliked There was no manning of the campsite/allocated pitches which left people being selfish and taking up too much room but otherwise couldn't fault it!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice, will recommend.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Well maintained reasonably flat site, very nice setting

Disliked Not enough loos! Although what's available are very well kept there are only two loos for upwards of 30 odd pitches and one of them is with a shower so can't be used while the shower is occupied.

Local attractions

There are lots of walks and cycle routes to follow in the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape but if you’d like something to get the heart rate going a bit faster, try a high ropes course at Wild Pines Park (20 minutes’ drive) or go indoor go-karting at Gridline Racing (25 minutes). Animal encounters are easy to come by in this area too – stop by to meet the farm animals at Rand Farm Park (10 minutes) or Tattershall Farm Park (half an hour) or plan days out meeting the bigger beasts at Woodside Wildlife Park (10 minutes) or Wolds Wildlife Park (15 minutes). Other days out nearby might include a city day in Lincoln (25 minutes), where you can visit the cathedral and castle while strolling around the historic centre, or Skegness (45 minutes) for the pleasure beach, aquarium, seal sanctuary and games of golf (the full game or fun rounds of adventure golf).
