  • 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 National Landscape 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 well-kept, peaceful campground with excellent, spotless facilities and friendly owners. Visitors appreciate the quiet rural location, flat pitches, and nearby woodland walks. While some mention occasional noise from other campers or farm animals, and limited shower/toilet availability during peak times, the overall experience is highly positive, with many recommending and returning.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked I have just returned from spending 2 nights at Forest View Camping with my partner and our two toddler boys and I can confirm we were really happy with our experience staying here. We were first time campers so didn’t know what to expect but were thrilled upon arriving. The location was peaceful and really well maintained and despite there being numerous other campers we were not on top of each other and everyone had their own spacious little area. The facilities were great, the shower rooms and bathrooms were very homely and clean and were obviously maintained frequently as the bins were always empty and toilet rolls always replenished. There was also a large washing area which was great for cleaning up after meals and were always empty and spotless when I used them. It was great that you could get free drinking water onsite saving you having to bring bottled with you. It was nice to be neighbouring the working farm and the boys loved wandering over to see the cows throughout the day. In terms of location it felt very remote which we liked but was only a very short drive to local areas if you needed to stock up on anything. We also visited the wood over the road which was a lovely walk.

Overall a magical stay and we cannot wait to return. Thank you so much for having us.

Disliked There was absolutely nothing we disliked however as there were no onsite electrics it could be convenient to maybe have a boiling water tap in a safe area as I did miss my morning coffee and as first time campers this wasn’t something we had invested in just yet.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Plenty of space.

Clean toilet

Disliked Had a “private party” on and it was loud after what they specify as quiet time. Was loud til 1am. If you’re in a camper or car then it would have been fine. But in a tent, it was so loud.

Maybe let people know in future when they book so they have the option to cancel? I wouldn’t have stayed if I would have known.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We can only apologise if music was played loud after our quiet time.

We did speak with a group with music and they ensured us they would keep down .

Unfortunately, we can only rely on people to do the right thing which they don’t always do.

Please understand, that our power to enforce is limited, however people more often than not do comply.

We do rarely have these issues but it’s difficult for us to manage these situations when they do occur.

The “private party” was a last minute booking and so we wouldn’t have been able to inform all guests anyway.

Thank you for your review .

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The campsite was clean, well kept and had fantastic showering & cleaning facilities! The surroundings were stunning with gorgeous sunsets over the camp.

Friendly cows on the site too, which the children (and me) loved.

We will definitely be visiting again.

Disliked Only downfall (if you’re bothered ) is there is no WiFi!

Local attractions

There are lots of walks and cycle routes to follow in the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape 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).
