  • Lincolnshire pop-up site for Burghley Horse Trials
  • A 15-minute walk to the event entrance, with shuttles available
  • Horse lorries and dogs welcome on site; pub 20 minutes' walk away
Bedding down for the Burghley Horse Trials? Hereward Way Camping is a handy spot indeed, open especially for those attending the events. This pop-up site is a mere 15 minutes’ walk from the event site at Burghley Park (nearest entrances are Entrance 8 or Pilsgate Lodge) and the team here are able to run shuttles for a small fee. Simple facilities (toilets and showers) have been provided, and there's plenty of space in the level grass field – so you’re welcome to bring larger vehicles like horse lorries as well as pitching tents or campervans. Need a pint at the end of an eventful day? The nearest pub is just under a mile away in the village of Barnack, and it has some great meals on offer too. For picnic supplies, takeaways, supermarkets and other foodie needs, head into Stamford, 10 minutes' drive away. Although you're likely to be engrossed in horsey activities for much of your stay, there are plenty of other things around to fill any gaps in your schedule – perhaps a stroll through the Lincolnshire countryside, a lakeside walk at Rutland Water or a tour of Burghley House itself.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Close to Burghley horse trials which was the sole reason for our visit. Walk took us 45 minutes to the lion bridge (Burghley) via the footpaths.
Driving to Burghley was about 10 minutes for the showjumping.

The campsite was very basic, pop up showers, ran well but generator ran out of a fuel which means they didn’t really have a “cut off” point. More of a case of, if you’re lucky.

Porta loo’s were absolutely filthy second day. This is something that would need improvement for the following year.

The gentleman that came to collect the balance was very pleasant.

One downside is definitely paying per person and not per tent.

All in all a pleasant stay & spot on for what we needed, although room for improvement.

Value for money I would say is definitely on the lower side, paid a lot for very little realistically.

From the manager: hi, thanks for this always useful. Noted and next year we have organised a better layout for the loo's as well as some servicing during the weekend. We are also doing shuttles.
