  • Serene site inside an orchard and garden in the Lincolnshire Fens
  • Shrubberies Nature Reserve and Holbeach town under a 10-minute drive
  • Barbecues and campfires are permitted around the grounds
How best to sum up the setting of Home Farm? Secluded yet easy to reach – so, all in all, a fine option for those seeking something of the outdoorsy experience without veering too far off grid… Pitches here sit behind a residential property, with each given a generous portion of space in the two-acre garden and orchard, and views over fields and farmland. The vibe is all remote and secluded, but it's also handily a couple of minutes by car from the A17, for speedy access to walks in the Lincolnshire Fens. Choice spots nearby include pastures and pond of The Shrubberies Nature Reserve, less than 10 minutes away by car. Just as convenient for those who don’t want to venture far are Holbeach market town’s supermarkets, pubs and other amenities (with a café for fry-ups and a farm shop for barbecue goodies around a mile or so away) To follow up supermarket sweeps with rifling the racks, Spalding and its Springfield Shopping Outlet are 35 minutes’ drive – water taxis are also available around here for bobbing up and down on the Welland River. Birdwatchers will no doubt prefer to keep binoculars poised and head to one of the local birdlife haunts – the marshlands of The Wash are about three miles away, and the site is also within easy reach of RSPB Frampton Marsh and the trails around Peter Scott's historic lighthouse (part of a cracking 13-mile ramble from Kings Lynn to The Wash) . The beauty of Home Farm is its remote and restful feel – even though it’s placed close enough to the farmhouse for security – so there are no facilities here apart from an outdoor toilet.

Orchard electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet site, really large pitches. If you are looking for back to basics camping in nature this is definitely the site for you. The children loved just running free and playing with sticks. Toilet was clean and as the site was so quiet there was no issue it only being one loo (we did have a portaloo in the tent for the small ones in the tent as the loo was a walk away). Kevin was extremely friendly, and we all fell in love with the dogs!

Disliked: Previous reviews mentioned pigs and there weren't any when we stayed. Dogs were barking a little on the last night which may disturb young children.

Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Tranquil orchard of trees on flat ground, beside a farmhouse with an outdoor toilet. Water easily accessible and electricity optional. Very good value for money.

Disliked: Loud, large dogs may be scary for some people.

Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Haven’t been camping in years , and decided last week I wanted to go somewhere to try my new gear , I received a text from Kevin the day before I went, telling me exact location and entrance to campsite , toilets etc, which made it a lot easier, the campsite was everything I hoped for , I usually like wild camping in woodland, rather than the plain field often at campsites, this place was amazing, the ground was clear and cut short and the trees were perfectly spaced, there is open area if not wanting to be under trees , I made a friend with a squirrel who was very curious as my night went on , the toilet was clean and spotless, plenty of toilet roll , had soap , air freshener, and flowers which made a nice touch , I would recommend this campsite to others and will definitely visit again , Well Done Kevin!

Orchard electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The coverage of the orchard trees gave a sense of seclusion and separation from the world that was needed for my stay at Home Farm. As well as providing some protection from the British rain! Being a good distance to the home of the owners was comforting (as a solo camper), as well as being close to their range of animal friends. Friendly guidance and welcome on my entry was much appreciated, opening a line of communication and reassurance to ask any queries if I had any issues. Loved the range of personalised and recycled camp decor situated around the campsite, including the alternative toilet sign “workshop”.

Disliked: It wasn’t an issue for my stay (as I practically had the site to myself)… however as there is only 1 toilet, I can imagine a fuller campsite could be an issue regarding use of the toilet facilities.

Local attractions

Brought the kids with you on your country hol? Within a 15-minute drive of Home Farm are Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre for meets and greets with nocturnal creatures, a crazy golf course for family tournaments and the Fun Farm indoor play centre for rainy days. If it’s grownup times you’re after, stately homes such as Ayscoughfee Hall Museum and Peckover House (along with their lush gardens…) are under 25 minutes away; alternatively, you could swing by North Ings Farm Museum to learn about the agricultural history of the area through its displays of tractors, machinery and commercial vehicles. For sandy sessions on the coast, the beaches around Hunstanton are less than an hour’s drive away – if you detect a hint of lavender in the area, that’s because around 100 acres of fields growing the stuff (plus a centre with an oil distillery, gift shops and a restaurant) are in this region too.
