  • Adults-only site on a quiet park edging Burton upon Stather
  • The Deep Aquarium 35 minutes’ drive; Lincolnshire Wolds 40 minutes
  • Fishing lake and shared lakeside log cabin; rural walks from the site
If you’re thinking of a quiet North Lincolnshire holiday, perhaps you should be thinking Acorn Wood. Set on the outskirts of the village of Burton upon Stather, this adults-only site should be a relaxing getaway for anyone who appreciates countryside walks, a peaceful setting and maybe a spot of fishing. The well-stocked on-site fishing lake is for the use of experienced anglers – and don’t forget that a rod licence is required by law. Sitting on the banks of the lake is the communal log cabin, where you can chill while using the book and DVD swap, make new friends among fellow guests, have a drink and socialise. A small shop is open daily for you to stock up on basics, gifts and fishing bait (opening times vary depending on time of year). Burton upon Stather itself has a couple of essentials stores, pubs that do great food and lots of walking and cycling opportunities.

What customers say

This is a quiet, adult-only park with roomy, tidy sites and spotless facilities. Guests love the friendly owners, peaceful vibe, and fishing lake. It’s a short walk to a village with a pub and shop. Minor issues like occasional dog barking and bird droppings are being handled. Wi-Fi was mentioned. Highly recommended for a relaxing escape.

Liked The site was beautiful, clean and in beautiful settings. The toilets were lovely and clean. Owner was a lovey friendly lady. Fishing lake is a lovely walk round.

Disliked Not disliked but a bit too quiet for camping, great for camper vans and caravans. If you like peace and quiet this is perfect.

Nuthatch camping pod

Liked We recently had the most amazing stay at Acorn Wood Campsite, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better little getaway.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The owners greeted us and took the time to show us around and explain where everything was, which was such a lovely touch. We stayed in the onsite pod which was dog friendly so we was able to take our 2 dogs along for the getaway. The facilities were fantastic, spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away.
The fact that it’s adults only made it even more perfect for the peaceful and relaxing getaway we needed. The pond was lovely, and the fishing house was such a fantastic idea and incredibly well equipped. Even if you're accompanying someone who loves fishing but you're not a fisher yourself, there's still somewhere comfortable and enjoyable for you to relax — such a thoughtful touch!
We also loved the “share a book” idea. It’s the little things like this that make a place feel extra special.
We loved every single minute of our stay and made memories we’ll treasure. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Acorn Wood Campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, welcoming and truly special getaway.
Thank you for helping make our engagement gift into such a wonderful memory! ❤️🐾
