  • Spacious and quiet site in the Lincolnshire Wolds, with fishing pond
  • Within 40 minutes' drive of medieval Lincoln and Mablethorpe beach
  • Pub with food five minutes' drive away; 15 minutes from Market Rasen
Tucked into the Lincolnshire countryside, Little Owls Caravan and Camping is a memorable outdoor experience 15 minutes' drive from Market Rasen. Set over 12 acres of level, well-drained paddocks, this peaceful spot has an array of facilities, including a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point and a water and waste point, along with a luxury shower and toilet block (new for the 2024 season) and a laundry facility. Everyone can stretch out, enjoy the peace and the views, and listen out for the plentiful population of local owls. Tucked away among all this there's also a fishing pond, which guests can use for an extra charge. Families and dogs are welcome on the site; younger visitors will also have a hoot down the road at Hall Farm Park (five minutes), taking tractor rides to feed the cows and goats, bouncing in the soft play area and sliding down the artificial snow slopes. Further outdoor antics are on offer at Wild Pines Park (20 minutes), such as zipwires and high-up rope walks, along with archery and adventure playgrounds down at ground level. A pub with food is a five-minute drive away in South Kelsey, and further options for eating, drinking and stocking up are in Market Rasen.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: One of the toilet blocks is great and well maintained, showers were nice. Big open field with plenty of spaces.

Disliked: The field is very bumpy in places so you have to be careful where you pitch up. The second toilet block didn’t seem to be cleaned at all during our 3 night stay and there were no hand towels or hot water in this block. Not so much an issue as the other block was nice, just further to walk. The biggest issue, hence the 3 stars, was unfortunately for the campsite, there’s a kennels or something down the road and the dogs can be heard barking through the night, even through earplugs.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We encourage all our guests to use the brand new toilet block which was pointed out to you on your arrival, not the old field toilets. We are sorry that you found the field bumpy in places; after all it is a camping field and we have had no other comments about this.

Lovely quiet site, with fishing pond. Brand new shower and toilet block.…

Stuart K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: Nothing bad at all to say, the welcome was marvellous, advised on arrival to take any available pitch. On the tent pitch area is an older container with toilets and shower area. If you want to be spoilt visit the new absolutely spotless toilet, shower and washing up area next to the sited touring caravans. Hot water every time. If you like to fish there is a well stocked pond on site. We just wanted to sit & relax and we certainly got that. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jonathan & his mum for making a great stay.

Local attractions

The Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is big on views and full of bumper opportunities for walking and cycling. Market Rasen is at the top of the 69-mile Lindsey Trail, a combo of paths, bike tracks and bridleways through Domesday-book villages and even older woodlands, past Tennyson's birthplace and Neolithic long barrows down to nature-filled wetlands. Market Rasen, whose weekly markets have been a crowd puller since medieval times, is also a handy point to join bigger bike routes like the Viking Way from Humber Bay to Oakham and the coastal Hull to Harwich path. If you prefer watching others do the running, the racecourse has fixtures all year. For the beach, beetle over to Cleethorpes (40 minutes) for all the sand and candy-floss-fuelled stuff seaside trips are made of. Quieter Mablethorpe is an hour away, with a population of seals in the nearby sanctuary and slides as well as cyclone spinning wheels at the indoor Aquapark. For historic days out, loaf over to Lincoln (half an hour) to see the 11th-century castle, 12th-century cathedral and its town centre of steep winding alleys. The International Bomber Command Centre (40 minutes) records and remembers the part Lincolnshire played in World War II, and at a similar distance, Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre explains a still-living but much changed local way of life. It’s a fine place for fish and chips too.
