  • Touring pitches at a 12-acre country park on the edge of Spilsby
  • Close to Lincolnshire Wolds walks; 20 minutes' drive to Skegness
  • Five fishing lakes on site, with bait shop and accessible platforms
If you like to have a fishing lake on site when you’re travelling in your tourer, it’s fair to say that you’ll probably be very happy indeed with a stay at Woodlands Fishery, on the edge of the Lincolnshire town of Spilsby. And that’s because this 12-acre country park is home to a peaceful carp and coarse fishery complex that’s got not one, not even two, but a splendid five different lakes for pleasure anglers to choose from. Owners Pam and Keiran always do their utmost to ensure this is a top-notch experience for all guests, keeping the lakes well stocked with carp, perch, bream, tench, rudd and other species. You’ll need to bring a licence along if you’d like to fish, and agree to the catch-and-release policy; tackle and baits are available at the shop, along with snacks and drinks, and there are accessible platforms so everyone can join the fishing fun. Not into fishing? No problem – there are plenty of other ways to fill your time nearby. The site is on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with lots of lovely footpaths to follow for scenic walks, and there are attractions nearby like the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre or the National Trust’s Gunby Estate. And as Skegness is a mere 20 minutes’ drive away there’s also scope for a day at the seaside. Closer to home, a 10-minute walk takes you to the town centre for shops, cafés, takeaways and the Monday market. Facilities on site include a launderette, a washing-up area and a toilet block with underfloor heating. Touring pitches all have electric and water supplies plus waste disposal.

What customers say

A lovely, peaceful spot with grand pitches. Pam and Kieran are a gas! Great showers and washing up area. Close to Spilsby town too. Fishing lakes galore. Watch for goose muck and the odd midge. Will be back!

Ian F.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly welcome on arrival, were met at the entrance shown to pitch & given all the relevant info, didn’t go into the reception/tackle shop as we don’t fish so didn’t require any permits, had our own provisions & the local supermarket is a 2 min drive away. Immaculate toilet & shower facilities, peaceful, only short walk to village centre. Short drive to Skegness & the coast, 45mins to Lincoln. Nice stroll around the lakes watching the fishermen. No Wifi but decent enough mobile signal for streaming, owner said WiFi is coming in the future. Not our usual choice of touring site as we don’t fish but we were very pleasantly surprised & will definitely be staying here again when next in the area.

Disliked Nothing, maybe the midges but to be expected near the lakes.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful and well maintained site . Met at Reception and shown to our pitch by our freindly hosts Pam and Kieran who work hard to keep the site looking nice. Good sized pitch with plenty of room for our car van and awning (the webpage says no awnings . but best to call and check as some are not big enough) Lovely walk arond the 5 fishing lakes on site, good fishing to be had. A well stocked fishing, tackle and bait shop is onsite...campers shop and wifi is in the pipeline. Lovely new shower block and under cover dishwashing facility with plenty of hot water. Site was so peaceful
A quick walk into the town with a sainsburys, local shops, cafes, pubs and takeaways and local buses. Lots to do and see in the area. Raf Typhoons flybys an added extra!
This site is a gem We enjoyed ourselves so much we extended our stay. A big thanks to Pam and Kieran for all their help and knowledge. We will definitley be back.

Liked Layout, views, pitch sizes, proximity to shops, cleanliness of facilities and most of all the hosts, who go out of their way to make sure everything is good.

Disliked Nothing really. If pushed I'd say goose poop, but we liked the geese and you can't have them without the poop :)

Judy R.

Fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Excellent, clean, well maintained site. Large, fully serviced pitches. Beautiful surroundings with lovely view of Lincolnshire Wolds. We don't fish but fantastic walk around five lakes. Shop, disabled toilet, Elsan, recycling. Five minutes walk into market town where we found several pubs, restaurants and regular buses into Skegness. No WiFi (except near the shop)yet but it's coming soon.
Pam and Kieran, who are so friendly and helpful, have obviously worked very hard to produce this lovely site which we shall revisit soon.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Drive north for a few minutes and you’ll reach the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape, a lovely area for walks among low hills. If you’re more of a stroller than a hiker, maybe you’d prefer a wander around one of the local heritage attractions – with a drive of 10 minutes you can get to either the ruins of 13th-century Bolingbroke Castle (birthplace of Henry IV) or the grander Gunby Estate, Hall and Gardens, with walled gardens, elaborate interiors and a rather nice tea room. For a different kind of history, head to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (10 minutes’ drive), which has exhibits about World War II Bomber Command including a Lancaster bomber. Fancy some sea air? It’s a 20-minute drive to Skegness for a walk along the beach, a go on the rides at the amusement park and a visit to Natureland Seal Sanctuary. A little way south of the town, Gibraltar Point (25 minutes’ drive) is a popular location for birdwatchers; you might also spot seals here sometimes.
