Scenic fishing lake
Tent
Plenty of space for tents -we also have rough camping fields if you want to get away from everyone
Well cut grass and maintained surrounds

  • 70-acre estate including fields and woodlands
  • Six-acre fishing lake on site with rudd, roach and tench
  • Great base for exploring 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 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.

What customers say

This is a very clean, well-maintained and peaceful site. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean and modern toilet and shower facilities, and the friendly, helpful staff. There are good walking areas for dogs, a playground for children and a fishing lake. The site is secure, with good access and level pitches. Some guests noted that Wi-Fi would be a welcome addition.

Charlotte H.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Really warm smiley welcome from Jodie on arrival. Huge back field with lots of space to pitch and level too. The loos/showers were clean and warm. The dressing tables were a great idea with a proper hairdryer! Good washing up area undercover too. Great that it was number plate recognition so no trying to remember PIN codes to get in and out.
We didn’t have the grandkids with us but there was an Easter egg hunt for the kiddies which looked great fun.
Nice walks on site and offsite too.
Firepits and bbqs allowed.

Disliked Nothing.

Shaun m.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked Great pitches. Immaculate shower and toilet facilities.
Can’t speak highly enough. Lady on reception, credit to the place. Did an Easter egg hunt for all kids on site on Easter Sunday with a more than needed sized egg for everyone as a prize. A great walk with faces hidden on the trees, helps keep the kids busy on an afternoon walk. We spent a while deciding where to stay and so happy we picked here. Best facilities we have seen, showers and toilets superb. For a quiet weekend away this is the perfect place. We will be back for sure.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Excellent welcome by the proprietors. Immaculate facilities. Very secure. Park is a plus for the kids. Will definitely come back again.

Disliked Slightly noisy with a recurring alarm, possibly from the nearby quarry on the Friday night but fine on the Saturday. Probably wouldn't hear it if you're in a van or tourer anyway.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review ! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

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 fabulous…
