  • Peaceful Lincolnshire Wolds park less than a mile from Market Rasen
  • On the Lindsey Trail for cycling, walking and riding
  • Dog-friendly site with launderette and centrally heated bathroom block
If we were fortunate enough to possess our own nag, we'd surely be cantering forth to this campsite on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds as soon as ever we could. For Walesby Woodlands Caravan Park, run by Paul and Julia in a peaceful woodland setting, is bang on the Lindsey Trail, yielding miles upon miles of trotting (and ambling, and cycling) opportunities through the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Walesby is a quiet park, used as a base by clever campers who want to explore the attractions and villages of the Wolds or delve into local countryside pursuits like fishing, golf and wildlife watching. It's less than a mile from Market Rasen for traditional shops, a farm shop, bakery, butchers, supermarket, pubs, fishing, golf and the Market Rasen Racecourse. The site is also within driving distance of Skegness and the Lincolnshire coast. The pitch price includes free hot water for the centrally heated shower and loo block. Walesby Woodlands also has a launderette, Calor gas for sale and an automatic security barrier for added safety. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please note that the owners are keen not to disturb resident wildlife so they keep light levels low by night. The toilet block is well-lit but it's a clever idea to pack a torch to find your way there.

What customers say

A top-notch, tranquil, super-clean spot. Guests rave about the big pitches, neat loos, and amazing staff. Perfect for quiet woodland strolls. Minor Wi-Fi/shower timer grumbles were outweighed by the warm welcome and a strong urge to visit again.

Victoria C.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked 3rd Visit this year (March & August) and actually stayed 2 weekends in a row in August because we like it so much! Great facilities, toilets and showers are kept immaculately clean. The staff and owners are really friendly and welcoming. It’s a peaceful location and great for accessing lots of local walking paths as well as the Viking way. The WiFi and phone signal is a bit hit and miss, but we like that! Makes it easier to switch off and relax.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely, well kept site with very clean facilities. My children loved the park and lovely walks nearby. We had our electricity mains break as soon as we arrived, the gentleman in reception was very helpful and let us borrow one of his own. Thanks again.

Disliked The only downside for us personally, I felt the pitches could be just slightly bigger in the tenting area.

Local attractions

For day trips, Skegness, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire coast can be reached in about an hour in the car and lovely Lincoln is within about 40 minutes' drive. If you prefer to stick closer to home on your own feet/wheels, Walesby Woodlands is on both the 75 miles of the Lindsey Trail and the National Cycle Trail One. The Viking Way, from the Humber Bridge in north Lincolnshire to Oakham in Rutland, also passes near the park, as does the 78-mile circular Lincolnshire Wolds Way (handily broken into daily sections of about six hours each). Lincolnshire is pretty nifty for market towns and shopping, like at Louth, Horncastle and Woodhall Spa, all well within an hour's drive; be sure and wheel back many samples from Louth's award-winning The Cheese Shop. At Woodhall Spa, have an old-fashioned evening out at Kinema in the Woods, entertaining those around the area since 1922 and with its own 18th-century organ – and organist.
