  • Quiet CAMC members-only Lincolnshire site in the village of Heapham
  • Gainsborough 10 minutes’ drive and Lincoln Cathedral 25 minutes
  • Large, well-kept pitches overlooking the historic Sturgate Airfield
Lincolnshire bound and looking for an adults-only hideaway? Set up for Caravan and Motorhome Club members only, Buttercup Farm Certificated Location is new for 2025 and sits in the quiet hamlet of Heapham, 10 minutes’ drive from Gainsborough. This rural spot has far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and an up-close view of the neighbouring Sturgate Airfield, which has been in use since World War II and is now used by private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. From your well-maintained and super-spacious pitch, you can easily spend hours watching the planes taking off and landing. The surrounding countryside has ample off-road public footpaths with plenty of walks, so any accompanying dogs will be very content indeed. Historic market towns and the stunning Lincolnshire coastline awaits, and there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and cafés in Gainsborough. Closer to hand, you have a fish and chip shop, cafés and a couple of pubs within five minutes’ drive.
