  • Simple pitches at a Lincolnshire farm five minutes’ drive from Wragby
  • A 10-minute walk from a nature reserve and swimming/watersports lake
  • Woodland views; 15 minutes’ drive from the Lincolnshire Wolds
A little walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds, followed by an open-water swim or paddleboarding at neighbouring Ocean Walker Academy (addtional charge for the latter two)? If that sounds like a pretty fine way to spend a day, plot a course to Forest View Camping, in the Lincolnshire countryside five minutes’ drive from Wragby and 20 minutes from Market Rasen. The views and vibe here are mighty peaceful, as the site looks out over farmland and the next-door woodland (part of the Bardney Limewoods National Nature Reserve). The surrounding area, though, is packed with things to do: for starters, a 10-minute walk will get you to Chambers Farm Woods for woodland walks, picnic spots and a butterfly garden. Other days out? Well, it’ll take you about 15 minutes in the car to get to the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a stroll or to meet the residents of the Wolds Wildlife Park. The centre of Lincoln is about 25 minutes away for city wanders, and Skegness 45 minutes for a bit of beach time. Back at base, it’s a fairly simple setup that’s been designed to integrate well with its setting on a family-run working farm. Pitches are flat and well maintained, and have access to modern toilet and shower facilities.

What customers say

This is a clean, peaceful, family-run campground set in beautiful rural surroundings. Guests consistently praise the immaculate facilities, spacious pitches, and friendly, accommodating owners. Fire pits are available to rent and are a popular addition. While some mention the occasional fly or wasp, or the site being a little sloped, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors stating they will return. Some suggest additional toilets/showers may be needed during peak times.

Kel R.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Clean facilities
Nice and peaceful
Lots of space

Disliked No response from email regarding asking how we found facilities, so when we went use the shower we couldn’t get the water come hot so could not have one, and thought pointless trying to contact and no one around in the morning to ask. Having pay extra compared to others and then extra for shower- only on this occasion we couldn’t shower

From the manager: Thank you for your review recognising our spacious and peaceful site and its clean facilities.
Sorry you didn’t receive a response to your email on this occasion. On checking, it would appear it was sent at 9:30pm on the day of your arrival which is outside of our office hours and 30mins after our last check in time. Ordinarily we would have happily responded with answers to your questions.
Our facilities are sign posted however, but we do appreciate that we are currently having our fencing upgraded which has meant some signs are not as clear as normal.
Regarding the shower, we can only assume you have attempted to use the offline shower which was signed as such. The main shower is always operational and was on this occasion, so again , we can only apologies that you missed this. Regardless, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we welcome you back next year!

Caroline A.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Very quiet site ( we were the only ones there!). Very clean toilets and showers. Lovely woodland nearby for a walk. Good value.

Disliked No evidence of, or communication from a warden.
No chemical disposal point, as far as we could see.
Asking £2 for a shower, albeit via an honesty box, seems excessive.

Local attractions

There are lots of walks and cycle routes to follow in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but if you’d like something to get the heart rate going a bit faster, try a high ropes course at Wild Pines Park (20 minutes’ drive) or go indoor go-karting at Gridline Racing (25 minutes). Animal encounters are easy to come by in this area too – stop by to meet the farm animals at Rand Farm Park (10 minutes) or Tattershall Farm Park (half an hour) or plan days out meeting the bigger beasts at Woodside Wildlife Park (10 minutes) or Wolds Wildlife Park (15 minutes). Other days out nearby might include a city day in Lincoln (25 minutes), where you can visit the cathedral and castle while strolling around the historic centre, or Skegness (45 minutes) for the pleasure beach, aquarium, seal sanctuary and games of golf (the full game or fun rounds of adventure golf).
