  • Touring pitches at a 12-acre country park on the edge of Spilsby
  • Close to Lincolnshire Wolds walks; 20 minutes' drive to Skegness
  • Five fishing lakes on site, with bait shop and accessible platforms
If you like to have a fishing lake on site when you’re travelling in your tourer, it’s fair to say that you’ll probably be very happy indeed with a stay at Woodlands Fishery, on the edge of the Lincolnshire town of Spilsby. And that’s because this 12-acre country park is home to a peaceful carp and coarse fishery complex that’s got not one, not even two, but a splendid five different lakes for pleasure anglers to choose from. Owners Pam and Keiran always do their utmost to ensure this is a top-notch experience for all guests, keeping the lakes well stocked with carp, perch, bream, tench, rudd and other species. You’ll need to bring a licence along if you’d like to fish, and agree to the catch-and-release policy; tackle and baits are available at the shop, along with snacks and drinks, and there are accessible platforms so everyone can join the fishing fun. Not into fishing? No problem – there are plenty of other ways to fill your time nearby. The site is on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with lots of lovely footpaths to follow for scenic walks, and there are attractions nearby like the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre or the National Trust’s Gunby Estate. And as Skegness is a mere 20 minutes’ drive away there’s also scope for a day at the seaside. Closer to home, a 10-minute walk takes you to the town centre for shops, cafés, takeaways and the Monday market. Facilities on site include a launderette, a washing-up area and a toilet block with underfloor heating. Touring pitches all have electric and water supplies plus waste disposal.

Fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Nice level pitches and not too many of 'em, which we like a lot. Even on a V cold March the site was a good place to be - ponds, Canada and greylag geese, duck + coot.
Town a very easy + level walk with chippy, Chinese, deli + a choice of pubs. Happy days!
Toilet block/showered/pot wash spotless.
Choice of ponds for coarse fishing if that's your thing.
Also just 30 min drive to coast, and we noticed a few local public footpaths for walks too.
Onsite owner/managers chatty + helpful! 👍
We paid full price, but have since discovered offers are available so check it out online... we'd most def go back!

Disliked V little -ve to say really. Nice if waste could be a wee bit closer but that would only affect very few pitches tbh.
Hose for Elsan being relocated to improve convenience IS ALREADY IN HAND but that's just being petty as I really AM struggling with a dislike...🤣🤣

Fully-serviced gravel touring caravan pitch

Liked We've just had a fantastic couple of days at Woodlands Fishery Spilsby. If you're looking for peace and tranquility, this is the spot. The only real 'noise' we heard was the local geese!
The site features five beautiful lakes that are perfect for fishing. A huge plus is the on-site shop which stocks various basic essentials, so you don't have to leave the site if you run out of something. They also have various fishing equipment that you can hire and fish bait for sale, which is incredibly convenient if you forget anything.
The showers and toilets were spotless and very well-maintained throughout our visit. The owners Kieran and Pam, were lovely, friendly, and couldn't have been more helpful. A perfect getaway for caravaners, we’ll definitely be back!

Disliked Absolutely nothing

Liked Lovely quite site, owners very welcoming prestine facilities. Local village 10 minutes walk where you can also catch the bus to Skegness or other surrounding towns.

Fully-serviced gravel touring caravan pitch

Liked We loved our stay at Woodlands Fishery and hope to return.
Booking was simple, with clear information provided, and check in was straightforward. The pitches are spacious and fully serviced and overlook the beautiful natural lakes. The whole site, including the facilities, is kept immaculate.
Pam, Kieron and their team are really welcoming, friendly and helpful - always making time for a chat.
The site is located a few minutes walk from Spilsby, which has a choice of shops and places to eat. It is on the edge of the Wolds, and within easy driving distance of places like Lincoln and the coast. We enjoyed many dog walks on the beaches, in the wolds and direct from the site on nearby public footpaths.
We didn't fish during our stay and you don't need to be an angler to enjoy this site, but the fishing looked well managed and good value too.

Local attractions

Drive north for a few minutes and you’ll reach the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape, a lovely area for walks among low hills. If you’re more of a stroller than a hiker, maybe you’d prefer a wander around one of the local heritage attractions – with a drive of 10 minutes you can get to either the ruins of 13th-century Bolingbroke Castle (birthplace of Henry IV) or the grander Gunby Estate, Hall and Gardens, with walled gardens, elaborate interiors and a rather nice tea room. For a different kind of history, head to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (10 minutes’ drive), which has exhibits about World War II Bomber Command including a Lancaster bomber. Fancy some sea air? It’s a 20-minute drive to Skegness for a walk along the beach, a go on the rides at the amusement park and a visit to Natureland Seal Sanctuary. A little way south of the town, Gibraltar Point (25 minutes’ drive) is a popular location for birdwatchers; you might also spot seals here sometimes.
