  • 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.

This is a highly recommended, impeccably clean, and well-maintained campsite with spacious, level, full-service pitches. Owners are praised for being friendly and helpful, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Facilities are modern and spotless. Its picturesque setting with fishing lakes is enjoyed by both anglers and non-anglers. The site is conveniently located within walking distance of Spilsby's amenities.

Kevin W.

Fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Excellently run business, facilities kept lovely and clean with a lot of great touches around the site. Pitches spacious and level and are full service pitches with power and water.

Disliked Not having a laundry but I was just to early for this as the owners confirmed due to go in soon so more of an observation than a dislike.

Liked The site was extremely clean and picturesque . The owners were very friendly and helpful. You have a very short walk into the quaint town of Spilsbury with a variety of shops, cafes and pubs. I would recommend anyone to stay here even if you’re not a fisherman.

Fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Excellent site friendly approachable owners , everything about the place says “ quality” at a keen price

Disliked No WiFi and all of Lincolnshire seems it could do with it being so flat . It would add to the cost of course but these days people would probably prefer and pay

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.
