  • Peaceful park with spectacular views
  • Less than half an hour's drive from Lincoln
  • Fresh eggs for sale from resident hens
Bells, whistles and noisy nightclubbing are not what you'll find on the menu at Larkrise Holiday Campsite in Lincolnshire. But you'll be able to sample first-rate vistas, wide open space, peace, quiet and pitches on a huge grass field – and the freshest of eggs for sale from resident hens. It's enough to make one get up very early. Larkrise is in an agreeably rurally location but only about a 25-minute drive from Lincoln, a mile from the pubs and food shops of the local village and also a mile from the butcher, café and produce of the award-winning Uncle Henry's Farm Shop (we'd bet a year's worth of Lincolnshire sausages that littlies will love the tractor and tyre swings at this last). As well as the huge pitching field, Larkrise comes with showers and loos, chemical loos, fresh water, chemical disposal, optional electric and picnic tables.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Good sized pitch size and animals next to site. Friendly guy came to greet us. The farm shop was a honesty shop. Lovely

Disliked: The toilets were unclean. Even by a camp site standard. No hand drying facilities or mirror in ladies shower. There were no washing up facilities. I expect insects to enter the tent but I think I must of been pitched on 5 ant nests. The bushes behind my tent had white dry toilet roll with human poo on.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The toilets/showers were cleaned the evening this party arrived and the site was quite quiet save this camper's boys had to be asked to get out of the conifers at about 9pm at night. Since the other recent review is glowing I think this speaks for itself on the issue of cleanliness.

As for facilities it is made plain on the information there are no bells and whistles. This is a simple site on a big grass field. As the weather was warm a few ants might have been about. It may be that this family would have been more at home on a more sophisticated site,

My daughter had a fab time and wants to go back again!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful and relaxing. Lots of space for the kids to run around. The owners were great and lent me a fan heater for our tent as it was our first time camping and i didn't anticipate how cold it got at night!
Shower and toilet not too far away. Gate was locked, we felt safe!

Larkrise 1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked: Very clean cottage and plenty of space for our little dog to run around. Lots of amenities in the kitchen

Disliked: Not being able to park right beside the cottage as the gate was locked

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Parking is literally just behind the cottage and the carpark is locked overnight (code is given for late night access). The area in front of the cottage is a courtyard with a heavy gate which bolts from the inside so is not suitable for guests. No wifi is available due to rural broadband.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I received a warm welcome when I entered this site, followed by an informative introduction of this quiet place. There was a self-service shop. Although I did not buy anything from there as I had enough food, I found the price of their sausage was quite attractive.

Disliked: Some comments mentioned about the cleanliness of the toilet or shower bay. I agree to certain extent but the condition was in fact acceptable.

Larkrise 1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked: We had a lovely week staying at Larkrise in the cottage. We received a very warm welcome from the owners and the manager which was appreciated after a long drive. The cottage was very clean, with beds made up on arrival, and very comfortable. The cottage had everything we could possibly need and some things we hadn't even thought about! The shower is great, very hot and powerful which was needed after long days out exploring. Dishwasher and washing machine were also a welcome addition. No WiFi as it rural but our phones had surprisingly good signal and data worked with no issues.

Larkrise is set in lovely surroundings of you want a peaceful holiday. There is a road but honestly you don't hear it at all. The camping field was a great safe place for our 9 year old to play when on site. He loved the goal posts. The onsite shop is well stocked and came in handy when we needed some late night ice cream. The local town is literally a few minutes drive away with a choice of small supermarkets, a great children's play area and even a takeaway or two. Further afield we visited The Deep, Cleethorpes Beach, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum and many more.

Local attractions

To Lincoln first, we think, for castle, cathedral, Medieval Bishop's Palace and the two million or so objects of The Collection which now includes the Usher Gallery. Whisby Nature Reserve and Hartsholme Country Park, RAF Waddington, RAF Scampton and Cadwell Park motor racing circuit are all just outside Lincoln, while more speedy days out are at Gainsborough's Blyton Circuit and the hair-raising skydiving of Hibaldstow Airfield. Hang gliding is nearby at Trent Valley Gliding Club. History and heritage hunters in the region have quite a bit more to pick from, from the fifteenth century timber-framed stronghouse of Gainsborough Old Hall to grander piles in the region like Elsham Hall and Normanby Hall. The four-sailed Mount Pleasant Mill at Kirton-in-Lindsey is a pleasant sight for photos; afterwards, take one of the Kirton-in-Lindsey walks north or south from the market place. A garden centre for another wander is at Kirton Lindsey Retail Park in Station Road. Finally, the really determined heritage hunters should have at least a day picking through the treasures of 375 antique dealers at Hemswell Antiques in Gainsborough, and foodies will squeal at the range of produce available at the Pink Pig farm shop in Scunthorpe.
