Paddock two sheltered by mature hedges

  • Friendly, family-run farm site within 15 minutes' drive of beaches
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth market town; half an hour from Skegness
  • On the main bus route from Lincoln to Mablethorpe (via Louth)
Based in the pretty rural village of South Reston near Louth, Holme Lea makes a handy base for exploring the beaches and wolds of lovely Lincolnshire. Welcoming families and (well-behaved) canines, pitches are scattered across a four-acre site that's neatly divided into two well-maintained and level grass paddocks sheltered by high hedges. This is a handy spot to stay in if you want to ditch the car – Holme Lea sits at the foot of the gorgeous Lincolnshire Wolds, with abundant cycle and walking routes to try out. The local village of South Reston is on a main bus route too, so you can catch regular services to Louth and Lincoln, or seaside towns including Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) and Skegness (half an hour). The village also has a popular local pub, which you can walk to in five minutes; as well as serving a decent pint, it has a small essentials shop if you happen to run out of supplies. For those who want to fish, there are also fisheries within five minutes' drive of the site. Simple on-site facilities include a toilet block, emptying point and various drinking water points around the pitches. There's also a shower room (with sink, toilet and shower) available for a small extra charge.

What customers say

Holme Lea Farm Campsite: Great value, family-run vibe, spacious pitches. Owners are super welcoming, facilities clean with good play areas. Handy for exploring, bus nearby. Site's basic, but some reckon more showers/toilets would be a win.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased you and your children enjoyed your weekend.

We do have things in mind which we would like to do moving forward and thank you for your suggestions. Without raising pitch fees substantially these are not within our budget at the moment unfortunately.

Liked Warm welcome, good pitch size, responses via email, quiet place, good distance to facilities from pitch.

Disliked Only 1 shower room to share. Need more space, better shower facility as floor gets wet easily. Better wash up area with water.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.

As you know we are a small friendly farm site with a mixture of customers including Caravans, motorhomes, and tents. Motorhomes and most camper vans have their own facilities. We do have a large shower room with one shower, vanity unit, WC and decorated with pictures and plants to provide a pleasant experience. We constantly keep an eye on showers and mop the floor if and when required. We are always on hand so if notifield we would attend to it straight away.

We have spent £11,000 recently converting a building to a shower room and providing a wider brick entrance with lighting. We will always want to renew and improve things however as you are aware we charge a very reasonable rate of £22 pn so that is an awful lot of £22 to recoup, 500 pitches! to be exact. We are desperately trying not to increase fees as many sites have done.

If in the future footfall and takings improve we will of course look at facilities again.

Regards Louise

Fantastic Site for a family with kids that appreciate camping!

Emma S.

Power optional grass site

Liked We had a fantastic time at Holme Lea Farm Campsite!

The spacious grassy area is perfect for kids to play, with a great wooden play structure, swings, and plenty of room to run around.

Lots of bits for younger ones all clean and tidy and some great vehicles for them to admire on the grounds tractors and trailers.

The surrounding trees and the charming farmhouse add a lovely rural vibe. I hear the older part is haunted!

It’s a wonderful spot for a family getaway, and the open space makes it ideal for outdoor fun.

Fantastic Hosts! Nothing is too much trouble so thoughtful and kind hearted!

Has all the facilities you would need!

Lots of rules times etc are made very clear and this creates such a nice environment in the site to keep it calm in the countryside!

Very well kept!

Highly recommend it!

Disliked The washing up area could do with a little refining! Perfectly usable but maybe a little update.

More bins as they fill quick! Are also emptied quickly but also fill quickly!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi

Many thanks for your positive review and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.

We are gradually updating as funds allow and the washing up area will be next on the list.

All in all a good site for a couple of nights.

Power optional grass site

Liked The site was well kept and the owners were very helpful from the time we arrived to when we were packing up to leave.

Disliked The toilets were basic, with only one toilet for the ladies. The hand soap unit in the ladies needs to be removed and the sink needs to be bigger to give space to brush teeth and have a wash.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi. Thank you for leaving a review.hope you enjoyed your stay. If I can explain we do have one ladies toilet in the block and another in the shower room with large sink and vanity unit, large mirror etc. All toiletries are provided there too inc hand cream shower gels etc. I agree the soap dispenser is out of use but is difficult to remove completely without leaving an unsightly space. Instead we provide free standing soap, hand sanitizer etc. the majority of our guests have their own facilities in their caravans and camper vans. It is only on the rare occasion such as bank hols that there may be a short wait for toilet.

Local attractions

Longing for a dip in the sea? The vast beach at Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) has clean, safe water backed by a promenade, fish and chip shops and crazy golf to keep everybody busy. Skegness (half an hour) is another resort catering for all the family with amusement arcades, bowling and go-karting. For a run around on almost-deserted sand dunes, head for Theddlethorpe (15 minutes), where you can walk any canine chums and may never see another soul. Wildlife lovers can feed cute rescue seals and get up close to birds of prey at Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre (15 minutes), or spot big cats and bears at Wolds Wildlife Park (25 minutes), while kids can accompany keepers on their rounds at The Jungle Zoo (40 minutes). Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (50 minutes) and Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony (half an hour) are the places to see common seal colonies. Market town and self-appointed ‘capital’ of the Lincolnshire Wolds Louth (15 minutes) is home to numerous well-priced antique shops, and is the jumping-off point for circular or long-distance walks in the hills. For a bit more adrenaline in your life, see what's on at Cadwell Park Circuit (15 minutes), or sign up for a track day.
