  • Small Lincolnshire site next to a working farm with horses and sheep
  • A 15-minute drive to Lincoln; about one hour to the North Sea coast
  • Five minutes’ walk to a golf course; half an hour’s walk to the pub
Small in size but offering a big welcome, Branston Moor Campsite is a peaceful spot about seven miles south east of Lincoln (15 minutes’ drive). Close to the village of Branston (five minutes), where there are pub and supermarket amenities, this rural spot sits next to the owners’ working farm, so you may catch sight of horses and sheep while you’re out and about around the pitches. In addition to well-maintained and level grounds, Branston Moor has access to simple facilities such as a small toilet block with flushing toilets, showers and a washing-up shack with cold taps and a small fridge. Guests here are also welcome to build a campfire – as long as the weather conditions mean it’s safe to do so. If you like to play golf, the nearest course is just up the road (about five minutes away on foot); if that’s not your thing, there are lots of cycling and walking trails in the local area too, not to mention a pub in nearby Potterhanworth (about half an hour’s walk away). While many guests will want to stick close to base and focus on exploring Lincoln or the Lincolnshire Wolds, it’s pretty easy to get out to the coast too, since seaside spots like Mablethorpe or Donna Nook can be reached in about an hour by car.

What customers say

A chilled, welcoming spot with spacious, level sites at a good price. Owners are lovely, facilities are quirky but clean. Nice quiet rural vibe. Toilets/showers always have hot water, though a few reckon they could do with a spruce-up.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Spacious grass pitches, as described facilities are rustic but well thought out. Washing up area with fridge and kettle, large gas powered showers and basic but clean toilets. Lovely peaceful site on working farm.

Disliked Nothing - it’s not at all swish but that is not what is marketed as.

From the manager: Thank you for your review , we are sad that we didn't achieve our usual level of service for you .
We run a small campsite with sustainability at its heart and recycle as much as we are able.
We do have books and games in the Summerhouse for children and during the summer holidays put an activity tent up for children to play in and make use of the toys inside.
We are always approachable as we live nextdoor and if there are issues with facilities we positively encourage campers to let us know.
We know there was an issue with one of the toilets which was left in a bit of a state. We hope that campers do remember that there are other guests and leave facilities how they would like to find them .
We hope you enjoy your camping experiences in future.
Kind Regards Angela and Roy

Liked Brilliant little site. I picked a night with the worst rain storm for months. Because of that I had the place more or less to myself. Owner was away, but the only other camper ( who's been going for seven years ) took my money. Field is flat with a decent hedge to keep the wind off where I parked. Showers clean, toilet clean. But they would be with no visitors. Easy to find. I'll certainly be going back. If you visit, tell them Steve sent you....

Disliked I don't know what it would be like at the height of the season but I think I would atill like to visit.

Local attractions

Consecrated at the end of the 11th century, the cathedral in Lincoln has a spectacular vaulted interior and stained-glass windows, while Lincoln Castle displays one of only four existing copies of the original Magna Carta. On the outskirts of the city, Boultham Mere Nature Reserve is an area of wetlands inhabited by wintering birds. National Trust - Tattershall Castle (half an hour’s drive) is an imposing medieval fortress built in red brick. Its Great Tower is adorned with huge Flemish tapestries, ornate windows and oversized fireplaces. It is possible to walk along the battlements for far-reaching views of the Lincolnshire Fens. A day at the seaside is always a good idea, so head to the North Sea coast to places such as Mablethorpe (one hour), with a vast sandy beach popular with watersports enthusiasts, and the seafront Queen’s Park, featuring a paddling pool, boating lake and miniature golf. Donna Nook (one hour) is a breeding ground for grey seals.
