  • Spacious adults-only site in the Lincolnshire Wolds, with fishing pond
  • Within 40 minutes' drive of medieval Lincoln and Mablethorpe beach
  • Pub with food five minutes' drive away; 15 minutes from Market Rasen
Tucked into the Lincolnshire countryside, Little Owls Caravan and Camping is a memorable outdoor experience 15 minutes' drive from Market Rasen. Set over 12 acres of level, well-drained paddocks, this peaceful, adults-only spot has an array of facilities, including a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point and a water and waste point, along with a luxury shower and toilet block and a laundry facility. Stretch out, enjoy the peace and the views, and listen out for the plentiful population of local owls. Tucked away among all this, there's also a fishing pond, which guests can use for an extra charge. Suited to folks who want a quiet getaway, the site is keen to make the site as peaceful an experience as possible. A pub with food is a five-minute drive away in South Kelsey, and further options for eating, drinking and stocking up are in Market Rasen. Market Rasen is at the top of the 69-mile Lindsey Trail, a combination of paths, bike tracks and bridleways through Domesday-book villages and even older woodlands, past Tennyson's birthplace and Neolithic long barrows down to nature-filled wetlands.

Liked We were met by the friendly owner who showed us to our spacious pitch.
Which was electric and serviced by a water point and water waste point. A first for us as campers, nice touch.
Campsite was clean and well looked after and very peaceful.
Didnt see any owls although heard them.
The toilet block was well maintained and spotless.

From the manager: Thank you Abigail for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm sorry that you were unsure where the rubbish needed to go, no one else has ever mentioned this before. We have 2 black bins very close to where you were sited in the top field and a recycling area near to the toilet block. We are always on hand to assist if you need any help or guidance.

Cleanest toilet/shower block I’ve ever seen!

Daniel B.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked We stopped at Little Owls for 2 nights and absolutely loved our stay. The site was lovely and quiet and really made for the relaxed weekend that we were looking for. It is also not far from Willingham Woods which we had a drive to. The toilet and shower block was immaculate! I haven’t seen anywhere so clean! It had a separate room for pot washing which also had a notice board with pamphlets for activities in the surrounding area, as well as information on local taxi firms and takeaways that would deliver to the site. They have a separate area for recycling etc which the owners were always on top of emptying. The owners were also very welcoming and friendly. They offered us an electric hook up cable if we needed it and also asked us the following morning if everything was ok with our stay. I’ve already recommended this site to a few friends and we would definitely visit again in the future!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Daniel for taking the time to leave such a great review, we really appreciate it.
We are pleased that you had a relaxing stay and everything was to your liking and look forward to welcoming you both back very soon.

Will certainly visit again, and comes highly recommended.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The wild meadow field, very peaceful and quiet, calming views, adult only, very clean facilties, local walks.

Disliked We would have benefited from the grass being cut as there were patches of nettles throughout the field where you walk.

Mixer taps would work better as hot water was very hot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you enjoyed a peaceful break camping in the top field. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the field didn't get cut as planned in time for your stay, so apologies for that.
We take on board your suggestion about mixer taps and we are seriously considering changing all the taps at the end of the season.

Local attractions

The Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape is big on views and full of bumper opportunities for walking and cycling. Market Rasen, whose weekly markets have been a crowd puller since medieval times, is also a handy point to join bigger bike routes like the Viking Way from Humber Bay to Oakham and the coastal Hull to Harwich path. If you prefer watching others do the running, the racecourse has fixtures all year. For the beach, beetle over to Cleethorpes (40 minutes) for all the sand and candy-floss-fuelled stuff seaside trips are made of. Quieter Mablethorpe is an hour away, with a population of seals in the nearby sanctuary and slides as well as cyclone spinning wheels at the indoor Aquapark. For historic days out, loaf over to Lincoln (half an hour) to see the 11th-century castle, 12th-century cathedral and its town centre of steep winding alleys. The International Bomber Command Centre (40 minutes) records and remembers the part Lincolnshire played in World War II, and at a similar distance, Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre explains a still-living but much changed local way of life. It’s a fine place for fish and chips too.
