  • Peaceful back-to-basics site nine miles from Newark
  • Campfire area for guests to share
  • Pub serving food 600 yards away
Steal a break getting back to basics on the four and a half level acres of Poachers Patch in the village of Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire – although there's easy access from the A17, this is a peaceful place, set back from the road on the south end of the village's High Street. The pitching area is a long meadow that borders the Sandbeck stream to the south and the River Brant to the east, and has a designated campfire area for all guests to share (ghost stories a must, of course…) and a loo block with hot and cold water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site. The local pub the Generous Briton is 600 yards away; it serves food and takeaways, and has a café opposite that's open from Thursdays through to Sundays. Nearby Navenby has a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway, a baker, a butcher, antique shops and two pubs.

PAUL B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Large spacious grass pitches. Quiet, peaceful, tranquil site. Owners pleasant.

Disliked: Not a dislike. However, the lane to the pitches is quit narrow with a high hedgerow to the left and a picket type fence to the right with a short 'S' bend to manoeuvre round. Any 8ft wide touring van would have difficulty in traversing to and from the allocated pitch.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, small, two person)

Liked: Pet Friendly is a Fantastic Find for Camp Sites, very much appreciate Allan & Judith allowing dogs with pitched tents, hope they never stop allowing dogs at their site. Very short drive to Newark Showgrounds. Very clean shower/toilet facility.

Disliked: Not that I disliked, but forgot my earplugs for the sun rise morning service of prayer songs from ALL the wood pigeons living in the tree's.....
