Scenic fishing lake (added by manager 05 Aug 2022)
Tent
Plenty of space for tents -we also have rough camping fields if you want to get away from everyone
Well cut grass and maintained surrounds

  • 70-acre estate including fields and woodlands
  • Large fishing lake with rudd, roach and tench
  • Perfect place to explore the Lincolnshire countryside
No word of a lie: you might land a whopper of a carp at Oakhill Leisure between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. For monsters of up to 35lb have been angled for at the site's six-acre fishing lake, as well as sizeable specimens of rudd, roach and tench. If you're not fishing or if you feel like doing a victory lap after landing a massive carp, plenty is on hand to explore, as Oakhill is on a site made up of the 10-acre campsite, walking and playing fields covering 30 acres, and finally about 20 acres of woodland. Take the 20 to 30 minute circular walk around the lake and through the woodland; it and the site grounds are pretty handsome.... The accommodation part of Oakhill is on flat and well-drained grassland, bordered by trees on three sides and a hedge. Toilets, showers (new in 2019) and a washroom are in the facilities building and a play area is also on site. But back to the fishing... You'll need a fishing licence (available at the post office) to fish at Oakhill Leisure, as well as your own equipment and bait; a small charge applies to angle on site, and you'll need to call the office in advance to book your peg. Please note that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult and that they aren't allowed to stay around the lake overnight.

Unpowered grass tent site (two person)

Liked: The site manager was most helpful and the pitch was level and in good condition. Fantastic heated shower block and toilet block, both of which were in great condition and were spotlessly clean. Site security barriers are effective and secure.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent site (three person)

Liked: The pitch was a great size and nice and flat as well. Toilets and wash areas are impeccable. Staff are also very friendly and the site is quiet.

Disliked: The only bad thing with the pitch is that the sub core that's been used isn't down very deep. Making it hard to drive pegs in without bending them.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such an amazing review.. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us!!! We are super lucky here the land has amazing natural drainage, however as a side effect its can be a little tough but this is the first time its has ever been mentioned.. Hopefully this wouldn't put you off visiting us again.

Powered grass tent site (four person)

Liked: Lovely camp site. Staff really friendly You can just let your children run wield cause you know they can't get out of the site. Dog friendly which was great. Midnight walk through the woods was a great adventure. We would definitely go again. Children really enjoyed it with park n little building in the wood. I give it 10 out of 10.

Disliked: Only thing which they could do is put all tents campers together instead of bein inbetween caravans.

Local attractions

Food, glorious food... bring the bike and cycle to the nearby villages of Norton Disney, Bassingham and Auborn for drinks and home-cooked Lincolnshire food in friendly well-run pubs. Evening meals recommended by the team are at the Green Man pub a mile and a half away. Visit nearby Newark for its castle, National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum and central square with a market all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Food and drink are recommended here too at Oakhill Leisure's fave coffee shop Strays in Middle Gate. The site is handy for lovely Lincoln, where you can have a look at the castle, the Medieval Bishop's Palace and the grand old cathedral: the views (and the walk to it up Steep Hill) are just a bit breathtaking...
