  • 70-acre estate including fields and woodlands
  • Large fishing lake with rudd, roach and tench
  • Perfect place to explore the Lincolnshire countryside
No word of a lie: you might land a whopper of a carp at Oakhill Leisure between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. For monsters of up to 35lb have been angled for at the site's six-acre fishing lake, as well as sizeable specimens of rudd, roach and tench. If you're not fishing or if you feel like doing a victory lap after landing a massive carp, plenty is on hand to explore, as Oakhill is on a site made up of the 10-acre campsite, walking and playing fields covering 30 acres, and finally about 20 acres of woodland. Take the 20 to 30 minute circular walk around the lake and through the woodland; it and the site grounds are pretty handsome.... The accommodation part of Oakhill is on flat and well-drained grassland, bordered by trees on three sides and a hedge. Toilets, showers (new in 2019) and a washroom are in the facilities building and a play area is also on site. But back to the fishing... You'll need a fishing licence (available at the post office) to fish at Oakhill Leisure, as well as your own equipment and bait; a small charge applies to angle on site, and you'll need to call the office in advance to book your peg. Please note that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult and that they aren't allowed to stay around the lake overnight.

Lucy S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful site in the middle of gorgeous countryside full of wildlife and nature. Excellent modern, clean amenities and friendly helpful staff. There’s a brilliant walk around the site, a good half hour to an hour’s walk with a massive off lead dog field. Lots of places to eat and shop within a short driving distance, restaurants, pubs, shops and takeaways all within 10 minutes drive. The EHU field has been busy on both our visits but the pitches are massive and they cater to groups with communal spaces. The non electric field is peaceful and spacious with loads of room in the centre for kids to play safely. We hired a huge fire pit which cost £20 for the night and came with 2 firefighters and enough firewood to last a few hours. Delivered to our pitch within 15 minutes of booking. Our first stay here was a last minute one night stay over and we came back for the bank holiday weekend within a number of weeks. We were told not to rush off in the morning. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back again soon.

Disliked: We usually enjoy a communal area/ bar/ seating area but there is a good flow and atmosphere here so not a huge problem.

Local attractions

Food, glorious food... bring the bike and cycle to the nearby villages of Norton Disney, Bassingham and Auborn for drinks and home-cooked Lincolnshire food in friendly well-run pubs. Evening meals recommended by the team are at the Green Man pub a mile and a half away. Visit nearby Newark for its castle, National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum and central square with a market all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Food and drink are recommended here too at Oakhill Leisure's fave coffee shop Strays in Middle Gate. The site is handy for lovely Lincoln, where you can have a look at the castle, the Medieval Bishop's Palace and the grand old cathedral: the views (and the walk to it up Steep Hill) are just a bit breathtaking...
