Líbí se We stayed at Lupine Woods Campsite from 3rd–7th August. This is a quiet, basic site with NO Internet, perfect for those wanting to relax in a natural setting away from crowds.
If you want entertainment, play areas, or fast food, this is not the place for you. Finding it was easy. In Haxey, turn onto Turbary Road and follow it past where the tarmac ends; a short, smooth gravel road leads to the car park. There is no reception, shop, or café, though a vending machine offers canned drinks for £1. The large building on-site is the IABTC Canine Activities Centre, which runs various dog training workshops. On arrival, look for the lady in the caravan under the trees. She will contact the helpful owner, Dan, who arrives within minutes to finalise bookings. It was quiet when we arrived, so Dan kindly let us choose our pitch. Since we have a dog, we picked a shady spot with electric hook-up (EHU). Dan asked to keep dogs on leads but pointed out a secure, fenced dog field where they can run free (it was a bit overgrown due to a mower malfunction during our stay). He also highlighted a 10-minute woodland walk on-site and longer walks in the adjacent Haxey Turbary nature reserve. The site is ideal for watching wildlife, including rabbits, butterflies, and even a Barn Owl. Because of the rabbits, the ground is slightly uneven with holes, so check the terrain before pitching. The soil is soft, black sand, meaning tent pegs go in easily but require extra securing. Due to hot weather, fires and BBQs were rightly banned. Facilities are basic but functional. The toilet and shower block is a portacabin (ladies at one end, gents at the other) with two toilets and a large shower. It looks a bit jaded and could use a lick of paint, but it was clean with plenty of hot water. Apparently, the local council refused planning permission for a permanent block, hence the current setup. The dishwashing station is also basic but adequate, and there are plenty of water points. During our stay, there were only a few tents, caravans, and motorhomes, making for a peaceful atmosphere. Dog training classes ran on Tuesday and Wednesday, which gave our dog plenty of entertainment. We had a very relaxing five days, slept incredibly well, and found Dan to be an excellent, attentive host. We highly recommend Lupine Woods for a quiet nature break and will definitely return.

Nelíbí se Nothing to dislike.
We are happy that it has no Internet connection, not an issue for us but am mentioning it again - for anyone who CAN'T live without Internet - this is NOT the site for you!.

Líbí se Big spacious pitches.
Access to the woods for walking the dog.
Close proximity to the toilets, showers, water point, pot wash, etc.
The £1 vending machine for ice cold drinks.

Nelíbí se When we first arrived, we pitched our tent at an electrical hook up point, to find that it had been disconnected along the line. After a quick and cheerful telephone call, this was very quickly remedied by Dan, and we were able to use our luxuries soon enough.
Very sandy ground in places.

Líbí se Basic amenities but that's all we were expecting. Nice chap who met us and let us arrive a little late due to a breakdown. Pleasant and quiet.

Líbí se Loved how rural it is
And how quiet
And would definitely come again
So much wildlife to enjoy

Nelíbí se The rabbit holes were off the scale
Even in the tent we were falling into them
And the toilets were quite a long walk from the tent pitches

Líbí se The isolation and lovely big pitches a real back to nature site.

Nelíbí se Honestly we disliked nothing about the site it suited us really well but can imagine youngsters may get bored here.
