  • Peaceful dog-friendly site in the Lincolnshire countryside
  • On the National Cycle Route 64, 20 minutes’ drive away from Lincoln
  • Well-stocked fishing pond surrounded by benches; lots of local walks
Sometimes you just want a hidey-hole somewhere with a well-stocked fishing pond, views over the countryside and an all-around peaceful vibe… and what a fitting place Camper UK Leisure Park would be. The well-kept site is set in 18 acres of the Lincolnshire countryside, right on the National Cycle Route 64 (a track which very, conveniently, leads the way to historic Lincoln). The city’s also a 20-minute drive from Camper UK Leisure Park for those heading that way on four wheels and not two. With a medieval cathedral and a castle with a Victorian prison and a copy of the Magna Carta, it’s a historical outing indeed. Of course, you might want to reserve an afternoon (or two, or three, or four) to lounge around by the site’s pond. Try your luck fishing for mirror or common carp (great for the novice, as well as the experienced angler) or take the short, raised walk around the pond and wildlife watch from the seats around the shore. For those who are feeling particularly energetic (and you just might be, with the excitement of a break in Lincolnshire fresh on your mind), there are numerous local walks and footpaths for days out hiking or dog walking. Yes, dogs are welcome here too. Facilities-wise, Camper UK Leisure Park has a handy set available. The modern centrally-heated facilities block has male, female and disabled toilets, washing-up facilities and showers. There’s also a handy separate utility room with two sinks and drainers, a fridge, a washing machine and a tumble dryer (this one requires a small fee) to make your stopover comfier.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: What an idyllic, quiet, picturesque site! All landscaping and facilities were excellent with staff on site beavering away all day to keep the place spotless. I was parked up overlooking the lake - watching the odd angler and the wild ducks dabbling about. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect place from where to spend a day at the Newark Antiques Fair and to explore the wonderful cathedral and city of Lincoln. The flat, fertile Lincolnshire farmland (accessed on foot directly from the site) was just superb to walk the boys (Bran and Gwynn, my Border Collies!) - off lead for miles . . . I would definitely stay again when passing through

Disliked: Nothing

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The location was excellent. Level pitch which was well maintained. The site and the lake and the grounds were lovely and it was peaceful. The facilities were clean.

Disliked: The showers / toilet block may need minor tweaks. The cupboard under the sinks need repairing. One of the seats in a shower cubicle was broken which restricted access into the cubicle.The shower flow would also stop and then decrease if other showers were being used at the same time. The disabled shower room was out of action too as broken. There were 2 showers and 2 toilets in each of the mens and women's blocks. At similar size sites there have been more. 3 possibly 4. Something to consider maybe.

Camping pod

Liked: Myself and my wife arrived at this site just after check in time with our two chihuahuas and was greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our pod, from then we didn’t see the owners again until departure- this isn’t a bad thing though!! we was quite happy with the pod and it was very warm considering the outside temps, this was without using the heater!! Absolutely beautiful location with fields and walks for miles. The pod itself is well kept and has a fridge, kettle bin bed and heater! It exceeded my expectations and was very roomy, even with us taking our own electric air bed we still had lots of room! - a sofa bed is provided but we wanted it as a sofa so took our own. 10/10 would definitely return!

Disliked: Nothing really at all to dislike, the wifi could do with updating as there wasn’t any to connect to although it is shown as having WiFi. This wasn’t a huge issue though & certainly not a complaint. I Also would’ve like the pond outside the pod to have water in but that isn’t on the owners 😂

Local attractions

With historic Lincoln ticked off, next up is historic Newark-on-Trent (half an hour’s drive). The market town has a 12th-century castle and an air museum with 65 different aircrafts. If that’s not quite enough history for you, Doddington Hall & Gardens (five minutes) is an Elizabethan manor house with walled gardens, a café and farm shop and the International Bomber Command Centre (25 minutes) traces the story of Lincoln’s Bomber Command. Swap in the museums for the sand if you feel like a lazy day on Lincolnshire’s east coast. Destinations like Ingoldmells and Skegness are an hour and 20 minutes’ drive away. It’s easy to get carried away with the amusements, so those wanting to get back to nature can take on the lakeside trails at Whisby Nature Park (10 minutes) or browse through Pennells Garden Centre Lincoln (10 minutes) Check out the schedule for Newark Showground (20 minutes) for fairs, festivals and events throughout the year. The Lincolnshire Show Ground (20 minutes) has local crafts and livestock or equine classes.
