  • Peaceful working farm site surrounded by Lincolnshire grazing fields
  • Within easy reach of Newark, Lincoln, Grantham and Nottingham
  • Option of ordering full English or continental breakfasts
Huge spacious pitches and open fields await at this back to basics site in rural Lincolnshire, in a handsomely historic location between ancient Lincoln and the old market towns of Sleaford, Newark and Grantham, and within easy reach of the lights and sights of Nottingham. Adjoined to a working farm, this site is in a peaceful spot and secluded setting, surrounded by countryside a short distance from the River Witham. Rectory Farm is shaded by mature trees and has spacious grassy pitches among a field surrounded by hawthorn hedges. Guests are welcome to choose a pitch under the shade of mature trees or out in the open. The site owners give you the option of ordering full English or continental breakfasts, so no need for camping stove faff in the morning if you'd rather get up and out for your days of sightseeing. On the amenities front, toilets, showers and a washing-up area are all available for guests' use. As this site is on a working farm, there'll often be tractors and trailers trundling up and down the farm track during harvest time in August and September until around 9pm.

What customers say

A peaceful, quiet, and friendly farm site. Praised for warm welcomes, helpful owners, and well-kept, level pitches. Basic but clean facilities. Excellent farm breakfast a highlight. Minor issues: tricky to find, limited toilets/showers.

Sarah T.

Willow Tree primitive grass tent or travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked This was a lovely site with really friendly hosts. Quiet location and perfect for me and the children with room to play. The breakfast was very yummy and made our stay much easier and a holiday for me too. It’s a working farm and you can see the animals in the fields which was also a nice extra for my boy who loves tractors and animals. Definitely worth a visit.

Disliked Nothing.

Crabapple primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely small site on working farm with trees and hedges. Plenty of space. Single toilet and shower close by. Very good value. Highlight was the cooked breakfast provided by Clare. Absolutely delicious and plentiful. Clare is a lovely friendly host who gives you a warm welcome. A great stopover when travelling south to north and vice versa.

Crabapple primitive grass campsite

Liked Stopped off for work - liked the location, very quiet.
A warm welcome and shown where everything was.
Ideal overnight stay - couldn’t ask for anything more.

Disliked Had a slight issue finding it with sat nav - use the name of the farm and not the postcode.
