  • Small Lincolnshire site next to the village hall in North Scarle
  • Newark-on-Trent and Lincoln 20 minutes' drive; beaches over an hour
  • Playing field and play area within a short walk of the pitches
Spacious pitches in a quiet spot well away from busy roads, with its own play area and playing field all within a short walk. Sounds good, right? That’s what you can expect from a stay at North Scarle Campsite, next to the village hall (which can also be hired) in the Lincolnshire village of the same name. There are only a handful of pitches at this site, but each of them is a generous 7 m x 7m, and has both electric and water hookups. Fresh water and a chemical disposal point are on site, and toilet and shower facilities are available in the adjacent village hall. The playing field is great for kicking a ball around or taking the dog for a walk; two dogs are permitted per pitch, and they must be kept on leads while on site. Being just on the edge of the village also means you can take the kids to the nearby play area. The village hall hosts a car boot sale every other Sunday from April to September – maybe drop in to see what treasures you can find? The site is well placed for exploring Lincolnshire, as it’s halfway between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent, making it easy to visit either of those, along with attractions including Doddington Hall & Gardens or the International Bomber Command Centre. Pubs are a short drive away, in the surrounding villages, for a meal or a relaxing pint.

FHU grass and earth campsite

Liked Quiet site with spotless facilities and water, disposal etc easily accessible. Fairly priced.

Disliked It's very nearly a ten. But the 20 pence for shower is a major nuisance for such a trivial amount. Firstly, in this cashless society, it was hard to find the coins. Secondly the twenty pence doesn't buy long enough so I had to come out of the shower with shampoo in my eyes and trek naked across an unlockable space to put another 20p in. Would much rather pay an extra £1 per night and include the shower. Also, the disabled toilets has no bin. Very difficult if you have hidden disabilities.

From the manager: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your helpful feedback.
The slots are definitely something we are wanting to upgrade. and I’ll pop a bin into the accessible toilet today.
The site is run solely by volunteers and is our main fundraising source for the village hall and its grounds. Your support is greatly appreciated and we do hope you’ll be able to stay again.

Great little basic campsite.

FHU grass and earth campsite

Liked Lovely little basic campsite, good showers and toilets. Had a 2 night stay and would definitely come back. Pitches decent size , campsite wasn’t completely full and they spaced us all out well which was nice touch.
Bring provisions with you as no shop or pub in the village. We could use the big playing field next door for a walk and nice and quiet village. Did a day trip to Lincoln and Doddington hall. Would definitely recommend. Toilet and shower block were spider free and clean. Hurrah!

From the manager: We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us, hope that you will be able to visit again soon!

Great little campsite will definitely return!

FHU grass and earth campsite

Liked Lovely little campsite, well looked after grass pitches with electric hook up, good clean shower and toilets. We booked as it was recommended by friends who stay yearly. Little playground was close to the pitches and no road to cross to get to it so felt safe, kids could run around and without me worrying! Absolutely huge playing field a short walk from pitch which we used for dog walks and a morning run! Just did a short stay but would definitely return.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So pleased you all enjoyed your first stay with us! We look forward to welcoming you back again, it was lovely to meet you.

Disliked Too close basically on top of each other

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m sorry you don’t seem to have enjoyed your stay at our little campsite. Your 7 meter wide pitch had no campers either side and our toilets are cleaned and checked very regularly, the site is scoured for litter, so while a little unsure what your review is pinpointing, we of course take constructive feedback onboard. Maybe camping isn’t for you? Thank you for putting your free running dog on a lead when asked and moving your car from another person’s pitch. We have ample parking at the carpark for large tents that fill the pitches. We are very clear that the campsite has a small children’s playground and no other amusements for teens, nor do we offer free WiFi. I’m also sorry you didn’t think we were friendly, we had a nice chat on your arrival!

Local attractions

This area has played quite a part in military and aviation history, and you’ll be able to learn a bit more about that at Newark Air Museum (15 minutes’ drive) and International Bomber Command Centre (half an hour). If you’re visiting the second of those, take a detour to visit Lincoln (half an hour) to see the cathedral, castle and guildhall. The city’s Museum of Lincolnshire Life will give you more of an insight into local history, as will the Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum (10 minutes) and Mrs Smith's Cottage (25 minutes). On a grander scale is Doddington Hall & Gardens (10 minutes), a wonderful Elizabethan estate with a café and farm shop as well as walks, bike trails and a padel court. For more outdoor time, make trips to RSPB Langford Lowfields (10 minutes) and Hill Holt Wood (15 minutes) or meet the woolly residents of J and J Alpacas (25 minutes).
