  • Adults-only glampsite on the scenic Humber estuary
  • Half an hour's drive from Hull for museums, galleries and nights out
  • Fully licensed bar The Alpaca Arms on site
Plenty of soothing greenery, friendly alpacas to meet and no pesky kids scurrying around breaking the peace… yes please. If that sounds like a top getaway for your good and deserving self, break now for a stay at Marshlands Alpacas, an adults-only site with a fully licensed bar on site named The Alpaca Arms. A five-minute stroll from New Holland and the banks of the Humber estuary, this is a prime spot to use as a base for Lincolnshire explores, with plenty of peaceful trails nearby to follow (excellent news for long dog walks in particular). Walk or bike by the river’s edge to soak up views of the wildlife and passing boats, or wander along one of the public footpaths or easy jaunts to the surrounding villages. The historic market town of Barton-upon-Humber is a 10-minute drive (or a lovely five-mile riverside walk) away, with shops, pubs and access to the Waters' Edge Country Park. For a touch of grandeur, head instead to Normanby Hall and Gardens, half an hour away, to stroll among Victorian outbuildings, spot Bambi and pals in the deer park and tour the grand old pile of bricks at its centre. If the deer aren't dear to your heart, hang out with the fluffy herd of alpacas instead. At Marshlands Alpacas, there is an alpaca feed station open on busy weekends from March to September. The station also serves fresh coffee and a tasty takeaway breakfast, made all the better by the excellently scenic views across the countryside. New Holland has a handy village shop for any other foodie bits you may need, and its train station has services to Cleethorpes and Barton-upon-Humber.

Local attractions

You don't need to look far for things to do from Marshlands Alpaca. First of all, this is a lovely riverside area where peaceful walks on public footpaths should quite frankly be irresistable. There's a five-mile riverside path to Humber Bridge, for starters; back in 1981, it was the longest bridge of its type in the world, and it's still a grand sight to take in. From there, you have access to the historic market town of Barton-upon-Humber (otherwise a 10-minute drive). Stroll the streets, go café hopping or take your binoculars into the Waters' Edge Country Park to spy after stunning and rare birds, including the likes of bitterns and marsh harriers. For a little history, stop by The Ropewalk in Barton-upon-Humber, a converted 18th-century rope factory with a small museum, art gallery and a whole range of creative workshops to sign up for. The town also has the Wilderspin National School Museum, where visitors can walk through – and imagine themselves in – Victorian classrooms dating back to 1844.

What customers say

This adults-only, dog-friendly spot offers a quiet getaway with spacious, well-kept sites and spotless amenities. Guests rave about the super friendly owners, Julie & Gary, and the alpacas you can feed. The Alpaca Arms pub is a hit. Most reviews are glowing, though some note the industrial views. Showers cost extra.

Powered grass campsite

Liked We liked absolutely everything about this site! The hosts Julie & Gary are present, helpful and friendly. The site is clearly well looked after with nice facilities including hot showers (£1 for 7 mins with toiletries available which I thought was very fair) a pot wash which actually has hot water and clean toilets. Onsite there is also a cafe/food shack, small pub with beer garden and covered outdoor seating and a lovely herd of alpacas who you can feed. The site is small and quiet, adults only and relaxing. All other guests we encountered were friendly and welcoming. We got the impression that a lot of guests are regulars and this sometimes can make you feel a bit outsidery if you're new but we didn't feel like that at all during our stay which was lovely. The location is great, it's rural enough to be very peaceful and relaxing but there is a village shop a short walk away as well as a train stop which takes you to Cleethorpes, or Hull for attractions such as The Deep is a half hour drive. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay and we would definitely return in the future. Thank you for having us :)
