  • 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.

What customers say

Beautifully landscaped, eco-friendly site with spacious, private, full-service pitches. Clean facilities, a welcoming owner, and great dog walks with wildlife. Traffic noise from the A15 is generally manageable. Highly recommended for its peaceful vibe.

Phil D. 1 review

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Beautiful site, so well looked after. David has a knack for creating a meadow with motorhomes and caravans but with privacy and natural wildlife all around, There are seating areas for meeting other people, a tepee and even a hide so you can watch the kingfishers coming and going from they're nest in the river bank

Disliked some pitches are close to the main road, so bit noisy but this also quietens down during the evening.

If he ever puts anymore pitches in, next to the river would be the best pitches to book, as well away from road

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely wildlife, Kingfishers, Red Kites and…

Liked Lovely wildlife, Kingfishers, Red Kites and lots of bunnies. Nice and peaceful. Good pubs nearby. Butchers in the nearby garden centre really good.

Disliked Disappointed that the local garden centre did not allow dogs (not related to the site :))

Liked This site stands out, it's been turned into a nature reserve complete with a hide opposite a Kingfishers nest.

David is great, adds a personal touch and it's clear that he's created an exceptional location. I'll definitely be back one day

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.
