Welcome to cresslands touring park
Entering into the touring park

  • Peaceful touring site near Bourne, Lincolnshire
  • Beautiful location near a river and woodland; dogs are welcome
  • Close to historic town of Stamford and the famed Burghley House
Grab the dog (if you've got one – no need to acquire one specially) and head to Cresslands Touring Park in South Lincolnshire for woodland walks and lazy days near the River Glen. A good base for exploring the surroundings and enjoying a bit of outdoor time, the park is five minutes from a peaceful woodland, for long walks and spotting wildlife (including the kingfishers which live along this stretch of the glen). Guests can also head to the nearby river for walks, or take bikes out onto quiet countryside lanes. Not got a mutt? The site's also welcoming to cats, rabbits… even kids. Whoever's in your party, head to the opposite riverbank for a popular walking spot leading to the nature reserve along the Macmillan Way, a long-distance footpath linking Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset. After all that fresh air you won’t have to venture far for a drink and a bite to eat – Waterside Garden Centre is 500 metres away with a restaurant, and there are a few pubs around a mile away if you fancy some pub grub. Cresslands is four miles south of Bourne, which has a greater selection of eateries, and the historic town of Stamford, with its attractions such as the famed Burghley House and Park and open-air theatre, is about a 25-minute drive. Bathroom facilities on site include two showers, two toilets and two wash basins with instant hot water and nifty extras including shaver ports and hand dryers. Two washing-up sinks and a washing machine are also available.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Our first visit to Cresslands Touring Park. A very friendly welcome from David and informative booklet with all the information we needed. Beautiful green area with hedging each side of our pitch. Lots of birds singing. Good clean showers and toilets although there were only 2 so could get a bit busy at times although we have all our own on board facilities and the pitches are fully serviced. We will certainly be back again hopefully for a longer stay.

Disliked Quite a busy fast road so entering and leaving can be a bit challenging.

This site was everything we wanted and more, so much so we…

Liked This site was everything we wanted and more, so much so we booked an extra night. We liked how the site was laid out affording everybody with privacy. The toilets, showers and washing up area were spotless and David was very helpful and we appreciate the time and effort David puts into making the place a little oasis. We would stop again in a heartbeat. Loved watching all the rabbits in the evening.

Really nice, but noisy

Liked This was a lovely site, not too big not too small. Shower and toilet blocks were kept clean. David was very friendly, we had a few chats with him. We liked the shrubs between each pitch giving you that bit of privacy especially with a dog. Overall the site was very well maintained. We also like the kingfisher hide.

A lovely site/great hosts. peaceful - but close to main road

Local attractions

Go wandering in Bourne Woods, a peaceful and ancient woodland around five minutes away by car, or give your legs a real workout by linking up with the Macmillan Way for 290 miles of footpath crossing the Lincolnshire Fens. Visit Burghley House and Park, a 16th-century country house near Stamford (25 minutes by car), built for Elizabeth I's lucky Lord High Treasurer Lord Burghley. Sights to see include the Great Hall with hammer beam roof, collections of 17th-century Italian paintings, the gorgeous Heaven Room painted by Verrio, and the gardens packed with sculptures, flowers and plants. While in Stamford, pay visits to All Saints Church and the Stamford Arts Centre, home to art galleries and the tourist info centre. You might also stroll around the Stamford meadows for birdwatching or a picnic on the banks of the Welland. Another option in town is All Saints Brewery, for guided tours of the microbrewery and tastings of its specialised fruit beers. For folk seeking a slice of city life, Peterborough is a 25-minute drive away.
