Syntes om 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.

Syntes ikke om 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!.
