  • 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

This neat, small campsite gets props for its big, private spots, top-notch loos, and lovely riverside setting. David and the owners are super friendly and helpful. A bit of road noise from the A15 is mentioned, but most found it fine, enjoying the peace and wildlife. Many keen to come back.

Liked Hearing the birds in the trees..

Disliked 2 showers and 2 toilets for the whole site and they were unisex, not to everyones satisfaction, no vanity basin in the shower room, so you had to brush your teeth on display in the sink that everyone uses for handwashing. No disabled facilities. No shop onsite / no pubs or anything nearby within safe walking distance . We were given a pitch a long way from the toilets /shower block as we had a problem with our motorhome and filling it with water. So were relying on use of the wash facilities. Dimly lit at night. Site next to a busy noisy main road . Very disappointed 😞. Couldn't wait to leave and wont be returning.. Site needs development and there is huge room for improvement..

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked A lot of work has gone into making this a lovely eco friendly site, for wildlife, fauna and people. Our pitch was perfectly level, which is rare. We had privacy but still felt part of the site. The showers/toliet facilities were really lovely. They are small and are communal but at no time felt uncomfortable. Would happily stay there again. Would recommend.

Disliked Sometimes road noise was really loud. Did die down after peak times.

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.
