Close to fishing spots (added by manager 02 Aug 2022)

Leafy family-friendly site with five scenic fishing lakes
A 35-minute drive from Lincoln and under an hour from Nottingham
Restaurant, bar, pool, darts, boules, jukebox and night fishing

Fishing for a calming hol spent out in nature? Net yourself the dream stay at Woodland Waters, a family-friendly site on the edge of Ancaster village, 15 minutes’ drive from the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. This scenic spot would be quite the catch for fishing fans – there are five well-stocked fishing lakes on site where carp, tench, bream and others are up for catch and release, night fishing is available on request and matches are held throughout the year. Anyone not keen on casting a line can devote energies to other pursuits, like rustling up a picnic spread for lakeside eats, spending some time with the kids at the play area or exploring the 72 acres of wooded valley. Not biting? Wander the Ermine Street Roman road (which stretches between London and York and passes through Ancaster) or hurry along to Ancaster Leisure (10 minutes away) for karting, paintball, laser tag and bowling. That sounds like an itinerary that requires high energy, so make sure to spend some onsite time in Woody’s Bar and Lakeview Restaurant to sample homemade and locally sourced food, chug a few ales, beers and wines, challenge someone to pool, boules or darts, cuddle up next to the woodburning stove, and take in the views over the lakes while listening to tunes from the jukebox.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: In wunderschöner Natur mit tollen kleinen Seen und einer interessanten Tierwelt. Nach Angabe des Kennzeichens öffnet die Schranke zur Ein / Ausfahrt selbstständig. Hochmodern!. Sanitäranlagen ok. Das Restaurant sehr schön. Wir haben dort richtig gut zu Abend gegessen. Freundliches Personal. Leider waren wir auf der Durchreise nur eine Nacht dort. Echte Empfehlung.

Disliked: Nichts

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The lakes, the dog walks around the lakes, friendly maintenance staff, local national trust

Disliked: I feel we were mislead by the positive reviews and the photos. Our pitch was directly in front of the play park with no lakes in view. The children were running around our van all weekend, hitting it with a football, throwing stones down the slide past 23:00. Children were on go karts and segways. It wasn't relaxing. The showers were blocked and the facilities needed a deep clean. There are a LOT of pitches and it is a lottery where your pitch is.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Great site spotlessly clean and level pitches. Lake walks are beautiful and plenty of wildlife to be seen. Woodys Pub on site is a nice extra with a good menu if slightly over priced. Toilets and showers very clean and staff very helpful. Can't recommend this site enough.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: As we pulled up to the barrier the lady in the office greeted us with a smile, which is always nice to see. As soon as I walked in to check in she had the paperwork ready with a map for our pitch location sorted. A very well organised site. On site bar with food and very clean facilities.

Local attractions

History buffs will certainly want to make their hasty way to this part of Lincolnshire. It’s a treasure trove of old England… Grantham (15 minutes’ drive) is a top choice for first forays into the past – it’s the town where Isaac Newton attended school and is home to the spectacular 14th-century Grantham House as well as a local history museum that gives an overview of everything from the Normandy landings to the Iron Lady. If appetites for stately homes have been whetted by Grantham, satisfaction can be found within easy reach: the 17th-century Belton House and its gardens, parkland and adventure playground are 10 minutes from base, and Newton’s homestead of Woolsthorpe Manor (although much more modest) is within 20 minutes – just watch out for falling fruit… Step back into the present day and take to the open air for refreshing saunters around Easton Walled Garden – referred to by US president Franklin D Roosevelt as ‘a dream of Nirvana… almost too good to be true’ – and the scenic market town of Sleaford, both 15 minutes from home base. Need more bang for your urban buck? Lincoln is 35 minutes away for shopping and even more history, and Nottingham’s arboretum, caves and Robin Hood experience are within an hour.
