A warm welcome is very much assured at Laurel Park Campsite in south Lincolnshire, a lovely little site that's secluded and sheltered on a quiet country lane and surrounded by miles of walking and cycling trails including the National Cycle Network Route 1. It's also south of the Wash Nature Reserve, a wildlife haven with miles of coastal walks and many available boat trips to see seals and nesting birds. Settle down here for a highly quiet and unwinding stay – seriously, this is a most serene site… Facilities include a comfy communal lounge with sofas, TV and DVD player, a piano, pool table, games, Tassimo coffee machine and communal freezer, as well as a book and DVD lending library. The site shop is well stocked with food and camping essentials, gift and thrift items, frozen foods and ice creams. Also on site is a small menagerie of animals for guests to meet: help feed, walk or pet the miniature donkeys, pygmy goats, chickens and rabbits, or help walk the donkeys and goats. Amenities at Laurel Park include toilets and free electric showers, two chemical disposal points, a washing-up area with free hot water, laundry facilities, a mobile phone recharging point, Calor gas sales, ice pack freezing and recycling facilities. Pick up supplies at the market town of Long Sutton two miles away, which has shops, pubs, banks, takeaways and a market on Fridays; more supplies and shops are in Spalding about 12 miles away.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: We found it a campsite that had everything required and more, especially for children as they all would wake up for the morning feeding at 8:30am and present themselves diligently. We hired a firepit and bought some wood, which was worth it in the evening for the warmth and charm. It’s a well enclosed space so kids could run around and play games together. Really quiet, which I loved. There is a kettle, microwave and fridge, all to share if needed. We drove about 50 minutes to Heacham and Hunstanton beaches, where we caught the tide coming in, so worth the long ish drive to get there! I would totally recommend Laurel Park campsite, it has mindful owners who care about our environment and repurpose materials where they can.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: As soon as we arrived we were shown to our pitch by Andy and shown where everything was. The whole stay was lovely and calming. Every morning my children (8 and 13) went into the animal pen and fed the chickens, rabbits and Guinea pigs. They spent lots of time in the common area with the pool table and sofas, relaxing and playing with new friend that they had made on site. We hired a fire pit for the evening and they had things that we needed in the shop (fire lighters, marshmallows etc). Toilets were always lovely and clean. A great place all round.

Local attractions

The Wash has the biggest nature reserve in England, made up of sand and mud landscapes, salt marshes, waters and sandbank islands visible at low tide. It's probably best known for its seals and has the biggest single colony of common seals in Europe at Seal Island; visit in June or July to see the new pups. Market town Spalding is a good day out, particularly at its Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre, as is a day among the medieval architecture and many museums of historic King's Lynn. Wisbech, its brewery, gardens and maze is about 25 minutes' drive away, and Hunstanton and Skegness are less than an hour away. Many visitors to this part of the country also go to the royal estate of Sandringham to see the house, museum, gardens and the parish church of St Mary Magdalene.
