  • 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.

Rutland C.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked A lovely site with generous, private pitches. A lot of thought, time and effort has gone into this site and David and his partner Jo, clearly work very hard to keep the site so nice. It was lovely to sit and watch the kingfishers along the river and the walk along the river was perfect for walking the dog. The unisex amenities were very clean and the minor problem raised, was dealt with promptly. No area was out of bounds, and the treasure hunt was entertaining! I particularly liked the re-wilding areas which attracted many insects and birds.

Disliked Unfortunately the site runs along a very busy road so there was road noise, but you do get used to it. It won't put us off from coming back though!

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Large pitches with privacy hedging. Small site with good toilets and showers which exceeded the level of cleanliness of previous sites i have visited (and we have been camping for 24 years) Friendly we!come from owners. Nesting kingfishers on site with purpose built hide. Rural feel. 'Competition' to win a free weekend stay next season. Visitors welcome. Relaxed atmosphere. Nearby garden centre for takeaway cake.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Spacious serviced pitches, beautiful & tranquil location & immaculate toilet & shower facilities. David has clearly put a lot of hardwork & time into this gem of a campsite. There is even a treasure hunt that kept us entertained for hours. Great location for supermarkets etc.

Disliked Having to pack up & head home. Would have happily stayed longer.

Alison J.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Fantastic sized private pitches, fully serviced and masses of space for your car. Site has excellent security and David is always on hand should you require him. The site is extremely well maintained with clean facilities and loads of places to sit and just enjoy the wildlife and/or listen to the stream. You’re still able to have conversations with fellow campers as it’s perfectly layed out for privacy or to have a matter with someone. Out of all the many different sites we have stayed at I have never wanted to return until now. We will definitely be returning at some point. Thank you David

Disliked Absolutely nothing

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.
