  • Peaceful retreat with fishing on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and 25 minutes from east coast beaches
  • Wildlife haven with two fishing lakes; walk to the village social club
Scenic Alvingham Lakes is a peaceful holiday retreat on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the added bonus of fishing on site. Just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic Georgian market town of Louth, it's easy to track down a varied selection of good eateries and pubs. Plus, some of the finest east coast beaches are also a short drive away. The site has two fishing lakes crammed to the brim with common, mirror, grass and Crucian carp as well as roach, rudd, bream and tench – plus what the owners say are a few little surprises. Folks flock here from all over for the fishing and peacefully scenic surrounds, on a friendly and calm site full of feathered inhabitants like heron, moorhens and doves. It's a basic but well-maintained site, with a toilet, handwashing facilities and barbecues (and dogs) allowed; there's also a self-service café for drinks and snacks in between angling or just wandering placidly around the scenic surrounds. Louth is three miles away and a big supermarket is within 15 minutes' drive of the site. For drinks after a long day's fishing, the village social club is a short walk away.

What customers say

Lovely, peaceful spot! Ian and Terri are class hosts, the fishing lakes are grand, and there's loads of wildlife. Facilities are spotless and pitches are roomy. Handy for towns and beaches. Some found the track a bit rough, but most are keen to come back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The site location is excellent, great hosts, well stocked water with fish, adults only, not overcrowded.

Disliked The facilities are listed as basic and probably are, the shower needs to be bigger even for me, i only weigh 70kg and i was struggling.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely peaceful location not too far from local and coastal towns.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked A really memorable time had enjoying fishing and caravanning within this well managed site. Ian and Terri were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and tidy. Wouldn’t hesitate to return, hopefully next time for longer. Great meals available within the local Woolpack Inn, Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea with lovely clean beaches. My dog also loved the site with all the local wildlife for her to see and her daily walks around the complex

Local attractions

The pubs, eateries, independent shops, traditional markets and award-wining butchers and grocers of lovely Louth are three miles away; after eats or shopping, have a wander around this historic town to see its 17th- and 18th-century buildings or take in a show at its Riverhead Theatre. Louth market days are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The towpath of the disused canal runs along to Louth if you want to get there via a scenic wander, while if you're up for a longer walk you can follow it from there all the way to Tetney Lock, via the local churches, heaps of wildlife and spectacular views. A 20-minute drive away is the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, where seals come to pup each autumn, and 30 minutes away are the beaches of Lincolnshire's eastern coast.
