  • Well-kept pop-up site on the edge of Aubourn village in Lincolnshire
  • Lincoln Water Park 10 minutes’ drive; Newark Castle 20 minutes
  • Off-grid with direct access to dog walks; pub five minutes’ stroll
Surrounded by pretty Lincolnshire countryside, Aubourn Estate is a pop-up site in the grounds of the 17th-century Aubourn Hall, which has extensive gardens occasionally open to the public between April to October. Staying here also puts you close to historic Lincoln and lots of family activities including fishing, golf and a water park. There’s plenty of room around the spacious, level and neatly mown camping field for families to kick a ball around. Stays here are also spot on for anyone wanting to enjoy peaceful walks around the Aubourn Estate’s 2,500 acres of farmland and woodland. Dogs are welcome too, so they can join in your daily perambulations, which may well lead you down to the pub in Aubourn village (five minutes’ walk), known for its delicious food and takeaways (closed Mondays). Back on site, there’s a firepit and picnic benches for you to gather around and eat alfresco on warmer days. Other simple amenities include a portable toilet, chemical waste disposal and a supply of fresh drinking water, but there are no showers or electricity. This place is also strictly for guests who revel in the quietude of a rural village location – so no noise please between the hours of 10pm and 7am.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: I understand that I was the first person to stay on this site - and at first I struggled to find it due to the lack of other tents. Sat nav took me rather out of the way, using the address given, and I eventually found it using What 3 Words, and seeking confirmation from locasl. Anyhow, once there I found myself alone in a large field for the night, in my tiny tent, and it was good. The estate have provided a tap for drinking water, portaloo, chem waste disposal and bin on one side of the site. On an adjacent side there's a picnic bench and fire pit made of bricks. There's a pub 5 minutes' walk away where I had a decent meal and some decent beer. Other pubs are available in Bassingham, about a 40 minute walk away, should you fancy the stroll. It's a little hard to give a detailed review of a site that's so new and had nobody else on it, but I'm sure it will prove popular. It's very convenient for the Newark Showground, Lincoln, etc, and being adults only, should hopefully remain quite chilled out.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks you so much for this helpful feedback. I have now added a map to our pre-arrival information and some directions to make sure future guests will find us more easily. We will put a sign up on site soon too, which should be a help. Sorry about the loo being locked - this was an oversight but it is now open and ready for use. We hope to welcome you back again.
