  • Peaceful back-to-basics site nine miles from Newark
  • Campfire area for guests to share
  • Pub serving food 600 yards away
Steal a break getting back to basics on the four and a half level acres of Poachers Patch in the village of Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire – although there's easy access from the A17, this is a peaceful place, set back from the road on the south end of the village's High Street. The pitching area is a long meadow that borders the Sandbeck stream to the south and the River Brant to the east, and has a designated campfire area for all guests to share (ghost stories a must, of course…) and a loo block with hot and cold water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site. The local pub the Generous Briton is 600 yards away; it serves food and takeaways, and has a café opposite that's open from Thursdays through to Sundays. Nearby Navenby has a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway, a baker, a butcher, antique shops and two pubs.

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, small, two person)

Liked: Wonderful welcome from Everett great situation close to the village. 11/10 for the cleanliness of the toilets & shower, really were among the best i have ever used on a campsite. Pitches were well defined by marker posts. Despite some changeable weather on the 2nd day, had a wonderful weekend, friendliness of the proprietors was great, wonderful chat and general exchanges throughout the weekend. Thanks once again to Everett for the welcome, the ongoing banter & all around friendly & chilled vibe while maintaining a well kept site. Quiet low key place allowing time to unwind and relax. Wonderful.

Disliked: Not going back soon.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The owners greeted you and gave you a leaflet about the site and information about the area the shower room was the best I’ve ever used on a camp site and everyone had so much room between each other so my dog had space to relax and play

Disliked: Only one toilet for ladies but 3 for men but didn’t affect anything there was never a queue and there was a toilet in the shower room

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Small & friendly site. Immaculatly clean facilities - shower room like home from home. Generous pitch sizes. Free WiFi. Short walk to pub serving great food.

Disliked: No local shops (clearly not the sites fault!). Only one ladies w/c and one shower room (which was absolutely fine for us as site had only a few occupants - but could be an issue at peak times?).
