  • 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.

Marshland Alpacas: peaceful, adult-only retreat with spacious pitches. Spotless facilities, popular on-site pub. Guests love feeding alpacas. Hosts Julie & Gary are friendly, helpful. Minor notes on shower costs/surrounding noise.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had a wonderful first visit just for a weekend. We felt welcome, the site was well organised, clean and tidy. It was quiet and friendly and the bar plus cafe food was great. We had a wonderful stay.

Disliked Would like the option to use a plug for a hairdryer as a camper in tent!

Liked A little gem of a campsite, so glad we found this place, will be a definite go to when we next come this way, lovely pitches, great bar and excellent toilets and shower facilities. Julie and Gary were great hosts with food available during our stay, and the Alpacas were an added bonus to watch and while away time on site

Enclosed powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Unbeknown to me I had booked the enclosed pitch where your dogs can run free. Brilliant!!!! So easy to open the door to let them out in the morning. Not seen that before and will look out for it again.

Disliked Nothing about the site.
Road in village was abit tight.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review.
Just to let folk know they don't need to drive through the village there is a small bypass that brings you in at the top of the village. So you dont need give way at parked cars on the village main road.

Relaxation at its best

Liked Super friendly owners that couldn't do enough for you, we enjoyed several meals cooked by Julie, Bar was incredible and a great atmosphere all round, Alpacas on the door step was just the icing on the cake. overall could not complain about this site. Facilities were spotless.

Disliked Not really a dislike but please be aware the showers only accept £1 coins so don't be me and take a £2 for a 14 minute shower.

Liked Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this campsite, for the fifth time. Everything is top spec. The owners, Julie and Gary are extremely friendly.
We took the train, from the local station, which is a short walk from the campsite and had a lovely day in Cleethorpes. Then came back to a merry evening at the Alpacas Inn.
We will certainly be returning.

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.
