  • Adults-only glampsite on the scenic Humber estuary
  • A 10-minute drive from Barton-upon-Humber and half an hour from Hull
  • 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 dog 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. The historic market town of Barton-upon-Humber is a 10-minute drive (or a lovely five-mile riverside walk) away, with shops, pubs and access to the Waters' Edge Country Park. 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-upon-Humber.

What customers say

A ripper little adults-only spot, super clean & spacious. Owners are legends, the Alpaca Arms pub is ace, and the alpacas are a treat! Showers cost a few bucks, and the pub can get a bit loud. Location's a bit of a mixed bag.

 Graham H. 1 review

Powered grass site

Liked The site was superb principally due the excellent hosts Gary and Julie. The ethos of the site is it should be friendly and all on site should say hello and talk almost like a family environment. It was good to see the inquisitive alpacas as well.

Disliked I dont think I disliked anything really, well apart from the rubbish phone reception but you cannot lay the blame for that on the site

Powered grass site

Liked We stayed as a stopover on the way home from further north. Campsite is nice. Spacious pitches with hedges between. Showers clean and hot. Didn't use the on site pub as it was closed that night.

Disliked The campsite is in the village of New Holland. The village gives the impression of having seen better days. We walked along the riverside path. This was accessed through an industrial site. Although the campsite was fine, we didn't like the area.

Liked Everything, nice quiet site, lovely toilet and shower block, good sized pitch, the Alpace Inn was lovely and even opened Wednesday due to England match even though it usually shuts just in a Wednesday. The hosts were amazing and the Alpacas next to the tent were a lovely touch.

Disliked Nothing really, booked for 2 nights but ended up booking a 3rd and staying another night.

Local attractions

You don't need to look far for things to do from Marshlands Alpaca. First of all, this is a lovely riverside area where peaceful walks on public footpaths should quite frankly be irresistable. There's a five-mile riverside path to Humber Bridge, for starters; back in 1981, it was the longest bridge of its type in the world, and it's still a grand sight to take in. From there, you have access to the historic market town of Barton-upon-Humber (otherwise a 10-minute drive). Stroll the streets, go café hopping or take your binoculars into the Waters' Edge Country Park to spy after stunning and rare birds, including the likes of bitterns and marsh harriers. For a little history, stop by The Ropewalk in Barton-upon-Humber, a converted 18th-century rope factory with a small museum, art gallery and a whole range of creative workshops to sign up for. The town also has the Wilderspin National School Museum, where visitors can walk through – and imagine themselves in – Victorian classrooms dating back to 1844.
