  • Adults-only glampsite on the scenic Humber estuary
  • Half an hour's drive from Hull for museums, galleries and nights out
  • Fully licensed bar The Alpaca Arms on site
Plenty of soothing greenery, friendly alpacas to meet and no pesky kids scurrying around breaking the peace… yes please. If that sounds like a top getaway for your good and deserving self, break now for a stay at Marshlands Alpacas, an adults-only site with a fully licensed bar on site named The Alpaca Arms. A five minute-stroll from New Holland and the banks of the Humber estuary, this is a prime spot to use as a base for Lincolnshire explores, with plenty of peaceful trails nearby to follow (excellent news for long dogs walks in particular). Walk or bike by the river’s edge to soak up views of the wildlife and passing boats, or wander along one of the public footpaths or easy jaunts to the surrounding villages. For a touch of grandeur, head instead to Normanby Hall and Gardens, half an hour away, to stroll among Victorian outbuildings, spot Bambi and pals in the deer park and tour the grand old pile of bricks at its centre. If the deer aren't dear to your heart, hang out with the fluffy herd of alpacas instead. At Marshlands Alpacas, there is an alpaca feed station open on busy weekends from March to September. The station also serves fresh coffee and a tasty takeaway breakfast, made all the better by the excellently scenic views across the countryside. New Holland has a handy village shop for any other foodie bits you may need, and its train station has services to Cleethorpes and Barton On Humber.

What customers say

Top spot! Cleanliness and pitch upkeep get a nod, plus Julie & Gary are legend. Alpaca Arms is a ripper, and feeding the fluffy mates is a treat. Toilets are spotless. Chill vibes, but showers need a quid and sometimes there's a bit of noise.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked Arrived to a very welcoming smile from the owner and was checked in and pitched within 30 mins. Lovely big pitch( hard standing) with hedge around us.
The Bar is a friendly well stocked place where we were made to feel very welcome. Geeza served a perfect Guinness ! And cocktails a plenty all reasonably priced.
The breakfast was superb, proper Lincolnshire bangers and delivered to the van for free🤣.
Mr Whippy home made ice creams on Saturday were very nice.
Showers/toilets were clean and a decent shower (£1) .
The Alpacas were in the field ready for feeding at 0930 on the dot, guests can feed them for a small fee.
Village shop and Chinese 5 min walk from site.
Lovely place and so relaxing , being Adult only was a preference for us and we won’t be strangers to the place.
Thank you For a great Weekend Marshland Alpaca Camp Site👌

Disliked Leaving !

Local attractions

Without any kids in tow, having hols full of grownup-sanctioned adventure is a cinch: head towards Grimsby (half an hour's drive) for tours and tastings at Rutlands Arms Old Mill Brewery and a stop at the taproom of the town’s newest brewery, Docks Beers. Otherwise, venture towards Hull (half an hour) for sedate turns around pleasant gardens, stately manors, museums galore and a must-do stop at The Deep aquarium. Anyone who’s after something more high-adrenaline and doesn’t mind a slightly longer drive should make the hour and 20-minute journey down the coast to Ingoldmells for a day at Fantasy Island theme park, or continue on to Skegness (an hour and 20 minutes) for stock car and banger racing at Skegness Raceway. For days in the great wide open, there’s plenty of choice: the Lincolnshire Wolds are about half an hour away for hiking, biking, riding and geocaching, or a coastal detour to Cleethorpes (35 minutes) and its seaside stretch is a top pick for beach and sandcastle days. A trip to Spurn National Nature Reserve (an hour and 15 minutes) shouldn’t be spurned either, even if it’s over an hour away – take a stroll along the sand island for slow-paced explores or sign up for a safari or wildlife-spotting boat trip to see it at its best.
