  • 70-acre estate including fields and woodlands
  • Six-acre fishing lake on site with rudd, roach and tench
  • Great base for exploring the Lincolnshire countryside
No word of a lie: you might land a whopper of a carp at Oakhill Leisure between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. For monsters of up to 35lb have been angled for at the site's six-acre fishing lake, as well as sizeable specimens of rudd, roach and tench. If you're not fishing or if you feel like doing a victory lap after landing a massive carp, plenty is on hand to explore, as Oakhill is on a site made up of the 10-acre campsite, walking and playing fields covering 30 acres, and finally about 20 acres of woodland. Take the 20 to 30-minute circular walk around the lake and through the woodland; it and the site grounds are pretty handsome… The accommodation part of Oakhill is on flat and well-drained grassland, bordered by trees on three sides and a hedge. Toilets, showers and a washroom are in the facilities building and a play area is also on site. But back to the fishing… You'll need a fishing licence (available at the post office) to fish at Oakhill Leisure, as well as your own equipment and bait; a small charge applies to angle on site, and you'll need to call the office in advance to book your peg. Please note that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult and that they aren't allowed to stay around the lake overnight.

What customers say

Campers rave about the spotlessly clean site and top-notch loos. Staff are super friendly, the sites are roomy and the surrounds are gorgeous. A few grumbles about slow Wi-Fi and road access, but management's aware.

Joseph G. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent site (three person)

Liked We absolutely love coming here as often as we can. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the facilities are amazing- best we have seen! Like every camp site there are rules to make sure everybody enjoys their stay which are enforced however what I like is that unlike other campsites, you are encouraged to have fun and enjoy the stay the way you please! I have been to other campsites that are so strict on noise, pitch parameters, fires, BBQs etc and it makes you feel on edge.

What makes this place is the staff friendliness, the facilities and the cleanliness!

Thank you for another lovely stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Toilet and shower block was the best I’ve ever stayed at. Superb

Disliked The road into the site from the main road. Our van nearly shook itself to bits

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 10/10 review!! To answer your dislike, sounds like you entered from wood lane. We always recommend you follow the brown signs in. This will take you the main route to the site avoiding this little country lane.

Cracking little site! Clean & secure! Will 100% return!

Craig P. 1 review

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Facilities were modern and exceptionally clean. Showers were fantastic.

Disliked With it being so close to the fishing lake there is at night quite a few mosquitos. Wasn't too much of a problem if you use citronella candles and deet spray. Just be mindful to use the fly screens on your tent/caravan.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a lovely review. Hopefully you will visit us again.

Local attractions

Food, glorious food… bring the bike and cycle to the nearby villages of Norton Disney, Bassingham and Auborn for drinks and home-cooked Lincolnshire food in friendly well-run pubs. Evening meals recommended by the team are at the Green Man pub a mile and a half away. Visit nearby Newark for its castle, National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum and central square with a market all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Food and drink are recommended here too at Oakhill Leisure's fave coffee shop Strays in Middle Gate. The site is handy for lovely Lincoln, where you can have a look at the castle, the Medieval Bishop's Palace and the grand old cathedral: the views (and the walk to it up Steep Hill) are just a bit fabulous…
