  • Peaceful touring site near Bourne, Lincolnshire
  • Beautiful location near a river and woodland; dogs are welcome
  • Close to historic town of Stamford and the famed Burghley House
Grab the dog (if you've got one – no need to acquire one specially) and head to Cresslands Touring Park in South Lincolnshire for woodland walks and lazy days near the River Glen. A good base for exploring the surroundings and enjoying a bit of outdoor time, the park is five minutes from a peaceful woodland, for long walks and spotting wildlife (including the kingfishers which live along this stretch of the glen). Guests can also head to the nearby river for walks, or take bikes out onto quiet countryside lanes. Not got a mutt? The site's also welcoming to cats, rabbits… even kids. Whoever's in your party, head to the opposite riverbank for a popular walking spot leading to the nature reserve along the Macmillan Way, a long-distance footpath linking Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset. After all that fresh air you won’t have to venture far for a drink and a bite to eat – Waterside Garden Centre is 500 metres away with a restaurant, and there are a few pubs around a mile away if you fancy some pub grub. Cresslands is four miles south of Bourne, which has a greater selection of eateries, and the historic town of Stamford, with its attractions such as the famed Burghley House and Park and open-air theatre, is about a 25-minute drive. Bathroom facilities on site include two showers, two toilets and two wash basins with instant hot water and nifty extras including shaver ports and hand dryers. Two washing-up sinks and a washing machine are also available.

What customers say

Cresslands Park is a well-kept, eco-friendly spot with lots of nature and privacy. Guests love the super clean, roomy, and serviced pitches (often hedged), and spotless restrooms. Owner David gets rave reviews for his friendly welcome and site care. It's a peaceful gem for most, though some mention noticeable traffic noise from the nearby A15, which most guests adapt to.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Well designed and throughout site. Each pitch feels very private and has its own gravel area and waste point. The site is easy to find and the directions were good. The site has great dog walks and is very near the local garden centre which has a butcher (great for the evening BBQ!) Owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Liked A gem of a site!

David, the owner/manager puts his heart and soul in to Cresslands. The facilities and grounds are immaculate.

The site is beautiful with wildlife and a babbling rive to keep be side. The site has several seating areas where you can soak up it natural beauty.

Any noise from the road melts away when you soak up the surroundings.

There are a couple of pubs a short walk away.

Thank you David, we look forward to our return visit.

Local attractions

Go wandering in Bourne Woods, a peaceful and ancient woodland around five minutes away by car, or give your legs a real workout by linking up with the Macmillan Way for 290 miles of footpath crossing the Lincolnshire Fens. Visit Burghley House and Park, a 16th-century country house near Stamford (25 minutes by car), built for Elizabeth I's lucky Lord High Treasurer Lord Burghley. Sights to see include the Great Hall with hammer beam roof, collections of 17th-century Italian paintings, the gorgeous Heaven Room painted by Verrio, and the gardens packed with sculptures, flowers and plants. While in Stamford, pay visits to All Saints Church and the Stamford Arts Centre, home to art galleries and the tourist info centre. You might also stroll around the Stamford meadows for birdwatching or a picnic on the banks of the Welland. Another option in town is All Saints Brewery, for guided tours of the microbrewery and tastings of its specialised fruit beers. For folk seeking a slice of city life, Peterborough is a 25-minute drive away.
